Le Vestiaire Tuxedo Extrait Eau De Parfum

THE INSPIRATION
The quest for TUXEDO Extrait de Parfum 66 Patchouli began with an iconic garment: the tuxedo in black. A symbol of masculinity, forever transformed by M. Saint Laurent into an enduring emblem of feminine power. This fragrance captures the essence of that transformation, the spirit of a disruptive moment in fashion history.

The year is 1966. At his Autumn-Winter show, M. Saint Laurent unveils a revolution in women’s wardrobes: the first evening pantsuit for women, the tuxedo. In a stroke of genius, he reimagines the smoking jacket, once worn by gentlemen in cigar lounges to shield their fine suits from their smoke. He adapts its sharp tailoring to the female form. This rebellious act of creation, unveiled in his signature black, empowers women with a new kind of elegance, elevating, underlining, and styling their silhouettes to embody his vision. Androgynous, rebellious, yet a timeless classic, le smoking has become synonymous with the couturier’s disruptive spirit. His most empowering gift to women, revisited in each of the house’s collections, from satin powder to two-piece suits, kimonos, shorts, and even dresses... No mere copy of its masculine model, the Saint Laurent tuxedo is a symbol of empowerment, eternally reborn in TUXEDO Extrait de Parfum 66 Patchouli.

THE OLFACTION
A new dimension of smoky elegance crafted by Perfumer Juliette Karagueuzoglou in a chypre ambery juice.

Tuxedo Extrait de Parfum opens with the bright spicy notes of pink pepper, enhanced by the fresh radiance of bergamot and an exceptional saffron captured in the Ourika Community Gardens, then reproduced in a unique accord.

In the heart, a voluptuous rose is amplified by the depth of a leather accord, complemented by the verdant tones of a violet leaf accord.

The base unveils the star of the composition: patchouli. Intensified by the unprecedented "emboisement" process, patchouli oil is macerated with oakwood shavings, sourced from the prestigious French barrel maker Seguin Moreau, located in Cognac. After several days, the solution is filtered and frozen before the alcohol is evaporated, preserving a unique, concentrated blend of the two. This natural maceration, inspired by the time-honored traditions of cognac crafting, amplifies the richness and complexity of the patchouli tenfold, exuding smoky, woody depth and a hint of liquorous warmth. Enhanced by the luxurious comfort of vanilla bean absolute, the final leathery, woody notes create a truly captivating and magnetic trail.

The result is a mesmerizing scent, both dark and iconic, reflecting the multifaceted nature of its inspiration: the timeless elegance and rebellious spirit of M. Saint Laurent’s tuxedo..
