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.
WORDS OF THE PERFUMER
“The perfume’s leathery inflections are intensified with the magnetic facets of patchouli-oakwood emboisement. A technique inspired by prestigious spirits craftsmanship. This natural, tailor-made maceration amplifies the olfactive richness of the base notes tenfold.”
THE BOTTLE
The bottle, a tribute to Saint Laurent's legacy, evokes the diamond cuts of fine spirit glasses. Its statuesque, neo-vintage, chevron-cut silhouette, a nod to the designer's iconic motif, houses a fragrance as timeless as the tuxedo itself. This bold chevron motif that facets the transparent glass, meticulously conceived through Couture codes, lets the rich liqueur-like colors of the ultra-concentrated scents shine through. In Tuxedo Extrait de Parfum, the deep amber hue of the juice within hints at the rich, complex character of the scent, reminiscent of a rare vintage cognac. Eternal. Elegant. Radical.
LES EXTRAITS DE PARFUM
Les Extraits de parfum is the quintessence of Haute Parfumerie, the most luxurious iteration yet of the couture collection, celebrating Yves Saint Laurent’s legendary career. Each extrait, a tribute to an emblematic year of Yves Saint Laurent. Highly concentrated reinventions of Le Vestiaire des Parfums’ most iconic scents, revealed by an exclusive technique of emboisement, drawn from the peerless craftsmanship of French cognac distillers who age their spirits in oak barrels dried and toasted to caramelize wood sugars, imparting unique flavors. Expertly curated and exquisitely presented in a neo-vintage, couture piece of glass, the three new Extraits de Parfum are truly worthy of a fragrance connoisseur’s collection.

TOP NOTES
Bergamot Oil, Pink Pepper Oil, Saffron Living from Ourika.
Rooted in the revered traditions of fine cognac-making, this unique maceration process, steeps French Oak shavings in the signature essence of the extrait. Carefully sourced, these enhance the composition without overpowering its other facets. Selected for their medium vanilla quality and powerful oaky signature, their tannins are then absorbed, creating a rich, nuanced depth.
THE PATCHOULI ESSENCE
INFUSED IN AN EXCLUSIVE ACCORD
Noble oak shavings undergo a profound maceration within the juice’s signature patchouli oil. After several days, the solution is filtered and frozen, before gently evaporating the alcohol, amplifying the patchouli’s richness. Through this natural process, the liquid absorbs woody essences, imparting dark, smoky depths, and a hint of liquorous warmth.
SMOKIER. DARKER. DEEPLY WOODY.
Crafted by Perfumer Juliette Karagueuzoglou, this richly concentrated extrait unveils a dark ambery scent with leathery inflections. A vibrant composition where the exceptional quality of a saffron accord captured in the Ourika Community Gardens illuminates. A voluptuous rose intertwines with deep leather, and the macerated patchouli anchors with magnifying depths, softened by luxurious vanilla absolute.
