Flora Five's YSL Tuxedo attar is an alcohol-free, oil-based interpretation of the sharp-suited elegance of Yves Saint Laurent Tuxedo. Violet leaf and coriander cut through bright bergamot, a rose laced with black pepper takes over the heart, and the whole composition settles onto patchouli, ambergris and bourbon vanilla — lasting roughly 10–12 hours on skin.

YSL Tuxedo |
How it compares. Our attar captures the recognisable YSL Tuxedo accord — that peppered rose over dark patchouli and smooth vanilla. Because it's a concentrated oil with no alcohol, the opening is softer (no spray "blast"), it develops more slowly, sits closer to the skin, and lasts noticeably longer than an alcohol spray.
Being 100% alcohol-free and halal, it is gentle on skin and suitable for prayer wear. Roll it onto pulse points — wrists, neck, behind the ears — and let body heat open it up over the first half hour. Keep it off white fabric; concentrated oils can leave a mark.
Available as a roll-on in 3 ml, 6 ml and 12 ml. Free shipping across India · Cash on delivery · 7-day return.
Frequently asked questions
What does YSL Tuxedo attar smell like?
It opens green and peppery — violet leaf and coriander over bergamot — then turns into a dark, spiced rose. As it dries down, patchouli and ambergris give it depth while bourbon vanilla smooths the edges. The overall effect is formal and confident: a tailored evening scent rather than a sweet or fresh one.
How long does it last?
Expect roughly 10–12 hours on skin, with the peppery rose most noticeable in the first three to four hours and the patchouli-vanilla base carrying the rest of the day. On fabric it can linger into the next morning. Oil-based attars wear longer than sprays because nothing evaporates off in a burst of alcohol.
How is Flora Five's version different from the original YSL Tuxedo?
The original is an eau de parfum sprayed as a mist; ours is a concentrated perfume oil you roll directly onto skin. The scent follows the same violet–pepper–rose–patchouli arc, but the opening is quieter, the drydown runs longer, and the projection sits closer to you — at a fraction of the designer price.
Which size should I choose — 3, 6 or 12 ml?
The 3 ml is a sensible first bottle if you haven't tried it — a few weeks of regular wear. The 6 ml suits most people for a season of evening use. If you already know you love spiced rose-patchouli scents, the 12 ml works out the most economical per millilitre.
