OrientalWhat does Tuxedo (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Most voters wear it in autumn and winter, with spring not far behind; summer is the least chosen season. Evenings and nights out lead the occasions. Its longevity and sillage are rated good. It leans masculine in character, though some voters call it classic or modern.
It opens clean and fresh with violet leaf, bergamot and coriander seed. In the heart, black pepper, lily of the valley and rose add a soft floral touch. Bourbon vanilla, ambergris and patchouli sweeten the base and carry it into an oriental warmth.
