The Tux
by Maison Alhambra
The Tux by Maison Alhambra is a high-fidelity dupe of YSL The Tuxedo, widely regarded as one of the most accurate and well-blended clones available. It closely mimics the original’s aroma profile—earthy patchouli, warm spices, vanilla, and amber—with a particularly convincing and cohesive dry-down that some users describe as more leather-rich than the original. Performance is exceptional on clothing and skin, lasting well beyond 12 hours for many, with strong residual scent even after washing. The fragrance projects moderately to strongly, offering respectable sillage, and wears best at night or during colder months, remaining strongly noticeable from afar. Most buyers find it powerful and compelling, with only a few noting milder longevity, especially on sensitive skin.
Pros
- +Extremely accurate and high-quality dupe of YSL The Tuxedo with strong scent similarity
- +Outstanding longevity and performance, especially on fabric and skin
- +Luxurious packaging and presentation at a fraction of the original price
Cons
- −Some users report moderate or weaker projection and longevity on sensitive skin
- −Heavy patchouli may not suit those averse to earthy, strong base notes
- −High demand has led to inflated resale prices, making it difficult to secure at original cost
