The answer in two lines

Tuxedo: the notes as Yves Saint Laurent lists them

LayerNotes
TopViolet leaf accord, bergamot oil, coriander seed oil
HeartRose oil, lily of the valley accord, black pepper oil
BaseAmbergris accord, patchouli heart, Bourbon vanilla

The house says patchouli lies at the heart of Tuxedo, its earthy, woody depths sculpted by perfumer Juliette Karagueuzoglou, with an ambergris accord completing the base.

Chypre is a fragrance family usually built on a contrast between a citrus opening and an earthy, woody base, with patchouli among its well-known materials; in Tuxedo, bergamot sits at the top and patchouli at the heart, as the house lists them.

Tuxedo: where does the name come from?

Yves Saint Laurent says the tuxedo appeared in his Autumn-Winter 1966 collection, when he reimagined the masculine smoking jacket and created the first trouser suit of its kind for women, launched in the Saint Laurent Rive Gauche ready-to-wear line. The fragrance is the house’s tribute to that piece.
