The Scoop
The Tux by Maison Alhambra captures the elegant spicy-floral DNA of YSL's Tuxedo quite faithfully, with strong bergamot brightness and rose-violet florality in the mid-range. The main distinction lies in the base, where The Tux uses a more generic vanilla rather than bourbon vanilla, resulting in slightly less complexity and warmth in the dry-down compared to the original's richer, more nuanced finish.
Key Differences
The clone's vanilla base lacks the sophisticated bourbon character of the original, making it feel somewhat sweeter and less refined. Longevity and sillage are marginally lighter, though still respectable for a clone fragrance.

What wearers say
âThis is my first ever review after being a user for more than 5 years.. i have grown my collection from originals and dupes alike and this dupe even though it tries very hard but is gassed out instantly vs the original.. if you have the resources.. just get the original.. it is worth every penny.â
âNever smelled the original Tuxedo but I can see why it's popular, I love this. My batch is new (Feb, 2023) and it smells great. I got this and Kismet Angel at the same time and this smells better than that imo. All my Lattafa fragrances have gotten better over time so I can't wait to see if this gets even better.Great scent. The opening is nice but the dry-down is the real star for me. Decent longevity and sillage. Great price (hate that $15 fragrancebuy shipping though). The bottle is gorgeous too. Would definitely recommend.â
âI like itâŠbut it doesnât give me the punchy glorious opening that the OG delivers.It does get extremely close to the OGâs dry downâŠwhich for the price ($40) is awedome. Longevity is slightly above average. Projection is average, but not as good as the OG.If you can find this for $40 or less, and you like the OG, I wouldnât hesitate to pick this up. Just know the OG is still better.â
