What does Tuxedo (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick autumn, winter and spring, with summer well behind. It suits evenings and nights out, and some wear it for leisure.

The top opens with bergamot, lemon and tarragon, while the heart is led by jasmine, rose, gardenia and clove. The base holds oakmoss, vetiver, sandalwood and amber. The floral heart rests on a resinous, smoky, woody foundation.
