Black Tie Affair

Inspired by Yves Saint Laurent's Tuxedo

The essence of evening elegance, bottled. Black Tie Affair is our interpretation of a modern icon, designed for moments that require impeccable style. It opens with a sharp, tailored accord of bright bergamot and a crackle of black pepper, as clean and camera-ready as a freshly pressed tuxedo.

This confident introduction is smoothed by a heart of cool violet leaf and a subtle touch of rose, adding an urbane, polished character. As the scent deepens, a base of smoked patchouli smoulders under low-lit chandeliers, while a plush accord of ambergris and smooth vanilla melts onto the skin, leaving a lasting impression of quiet, sophisticated intrigue.
