Suits

* An extremely powerful and sophisticated fragrance * Excellent blend of sweet, fresh, musk, vanilla, spice, wood, amber, and floral aromas * Good performer * Extremely well balanced * Unisex * Great for older users * May bring up pleasant nostalgic memories * Great QPR value * Not good for those who dislike sweet fragrances * Emphasis on dominant sweet musk is a take or leave it proposition * Not good for younger users * May bring up unpleasant nostalgic memories Suits is a clone of Yves Saint-Laurent's Tuxedo but having never smelled that fragrance, I can only judge Suits on its own merits. Suits is a powerful and sophisticated fragrance. It's an excellent musk-dominant blend of sweet, fresh, musk, vanilla, spice, wood, amber and floral aromas. The musk is sweet and clean and fresh, and while it's not the only note it is the most dominant one, making this a take or leave it proposition. If you enjoy the smell of musk and/or it brings up pleasant memories, by all means this is for you. If you associate musk with an older generation and feel it's out of date, this is not for you. I have no nostalgic memories or feelings either way, so I definitely enjoy this for what it is. This is an extremely well balanced fragrance, sweet and warm and long-lasting. It's got good performance, is unisex, and is great for older users. I don't think younger users will or should go for this, and it's not for those who dislike sweet fragrances regardless of how they feel about musk. It's a fantastic QPR value at its price, even beating out other clones in terms of price. Definitely worth your while and an easy recommend.

Hey YSL Tuxedo lovers — if you’re looking for a similar vibe or a budget-friendly alternative that carries about 80% of the OG DNA, then FW Suits (for under 27 dollars) is your top pick. And if you’re lucky, you can even grab it for 18–20 dollars during major sales. You’ll notice that there are plenty of fragrances borrowing the TXD DNA, but trust me: the ones people constantly hype up with slogans like ‘Oh, this is the perfect Tuxedo clone!’ all over short-video platforms are 90% marketing contracts. The remaining 10%? Those are the people who simply haven’t smelled FW Suits yet. I still blind-buy many releases from Fragrance World – French Avenue, and honestly, I haven’t regretted any of those experiences so far. But on the other hand, I’ve winced more than once with brand L — FW’s fellow hometown neighbor. I don’t know, maybe I’ve just been unlucky with that house. Longevity: 4–5 hours on skin and 6–7 hours on clothes — Note: this is in an office environment with air-conditioning between 20–25°C (sorry, we don’t use Fahrenheit here). Sillage: around 2 meters. I usually wear this for evening gatherings or late-afternoon events. It definitely works far better on men than on women. The truth is: many ladies absolutely love smelling this scent on their boyfriend.

Accords on fragrantica are totally inaccurate. Pretty accurate to the original, leans more towards the vanilla and amber side of tuxedo. kinda reminds me of bentley for men intense? Might be the amber sweetness. A bit odd since I don't like bfmi but defnitely like this DNA. Might be the booziness in bfmi that I'm not a fan of. At any rate still defnitely heavy on the patchouli, great dinner or especially a date night fragrance because it is definitely sweeter than other tuxedo clones like the tux or mustache, which imo go much heavier on the spices. Projection is moderate, I would say maybe a bit above average, but that's ideal for a dinner fragrance. I don't want to be eating my meal and all I can taste and smell is amber and vanilla and patchouli. Longevity is good, above average but not monumental. Both projection and longevity are better than any other tuxedo clone. New reformulations of Rochas Mustache have terrible performance, and tux isn't much better. The best tuxedo clone on the market right now, grab a bottle for sure. Fragrance world has done it again.

Let your bottle "maturate" for 2 to 3 months and the performance drastically improves as well as the smoothes and over all scent. I wore it when I took my mom to her doctors appointment, got complimented like 3 times there and then when we went to McDonalds and dined in, The 2 women sitting at a table near us kept saying how "someone in here smells so good", they then traced the scent to me and complimented me. This was all during the same day and quite a few hours after application. Suites smells ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS and the "Maturation Results" are 100% worth waiting for! I almost got Maison Alhambra's The Tux bc if heard it had better performance, but now Im totally satisfied with Suites! It really is just such an amazing, delicate yet very attention grabbing scent! A 9 outta 10 scent considering costs, longevity and great dna. I even sorta like the bottle presentation!

I blind-bought this last week for $17 on Amazon, and yes, it's real. It was being sold by Fragrance World themselves. I'm pretty sure it macerated on its own, which saved me some time. The box smelt like old books that have been sitting on shelves for a decade though lol. On my 1st initial spray, it smelt like so much like alcohol. I would suggest to let it dry first, then smelling it. It is honestly an addicting smell. It smells very fresh, spicy, and masculine. Almost like you need an actual suit to pull it off. Ratings: Price = 10/10 Scent = 10/10 Bottle = 6/10 (basic) Longevity = 5-ish hrs Sillage = Average Overall: I honestly would recommend picking this up due to its price. The smell is way beyond its price. Great cheapie that smells like an expensive fragrance lol ironically. Overall I'd give this fragrance a 7.5 out of 10

I purchased this frag a little over a month ago and fell in love with it, it just has NO BUSINESS smelling this cllassy and high quality for the price! Now when I first got this, I used it and was a bit dissapointed at how light it was and also how quickly it seemed to fade away. I then put it away for about 5 or so weeks, revisited it last night and was really surprised at how much stronger is bacame and how much the longevity improved. I sprayed it on last night and this morning I still was easily able to pick it up on my shirt and skin, plus again, smelled more potent than before. Smells amazing, 9 outta 10 IMO. So glad I picked this up instead of one of the other clones.

I like this. Similar to Moustache. Just like Moustache, this one doesn't last long on me, either... 3-4 hours, tops. Masculine with light projection. Layered it with Terre d'Hermes to give it a little orange kick... but Lost Cherry and Bitter Peach would work well, also (as would Moustache) in addition to a number of other scents. Get creative using this as a layering base. Not much to say about this one, as I have a number of tobacco forward scents in my collection, and they all smell similar. Decent bang for the buck (under $20), so it's a good value... but it's not blowing my doors off. For all the hype the Tuxedo DNA gets, this one is just okay for me on my skin.

Fragrance Journal Entry #36 This fragrance was my first experience with "maceration". Straight out the box it's an all out piercing assault on your frontal lobe so i put it in time out for 2 months and it became noticeably better. The the sharpness had toned down and more vanilla started to appear but it still wasn't great and the performance was maybe 4-5h longevity with 1h projection. I let it sit for a total of 7 months and what i now have is a gorgeous patchouli/vanilla dominant fragrance with increased performance (7-8h). For $20 this is a steal and should absolutely be blind bought, just trust the process. Rating: 8.8/10 Blind Buy Safe? YES

Weird. I didn't like this perfume at first. I thought it was a bad blind buy. But it turned out to be my first "middle east" perfume to be run out after one year. I didn't notice about "maceration" but it actually got better with time. I live in a hot country but this suits almost all occasions, from gym to date - just not very hot days. Sweet but not that sweet. Many of my friends told me the opening smells like "tea". Maybe because of the violet and lily of the valley. Dry down is very good, vanilla-y and fresh at the same time. Girls like this. Longevity and projection are above average. 30$ well spent. Now, I gonna purchase another one.

So, I recieved Suites about 3 months ago, LOVED the scent, was NOT impressed with the performance/sillage. Havent worn it, so its been sitting in it's box those 3 months.. 💥POW💥. And now its a freakin' BEAST! I under-estimated it, used about 8 sprays bc I didn't think it had really changed that much, went over to my moms... Lets just say I had to back home and change my shirt😁. Smells much stronger, spicier, more vanillic, and last atleast 8 hours (if not more). I havent tried YSL's Tuxedo, but I'm more than happy with Suites. Man, this is a 7 outta 10 imo, and If ya can hold off and let this thing macerate, BOMB!

I don't have tuxedo, so this was a mysterious revelation. At first sniff I picked up green and spicy notes. (Violet, black pepper and coriander) that projects a medicinal vibe. No citrus, but picked it up after a few moments. After 20 minutes I then picked up a boozy vanilla, woody amber and Patchouli notes. Then, the dry down was a warm, slight spiced vanilla. The drydown reminds me of Eternal Oud by Lataffa. Very nice fragrance. It probably needs a few weeks of maturity to maximize full potential. The mature time will depend on the batch code production date.

Owned now for months but never worn till today so can't say what it was like months ago, but now, wow! Classy scent not all that complex, like the original but it's a designer with mass appeal, so I understand. This clone is really impressive and completely blind buy worthy for under $20. Under $20 makes me giggle because it feels like a steal. Anyway, this is sweet and ambery. I'm going to layer with either a leather or tobacco forward scent to give it more depth but as is this is fantastic.

I have Suits on one arm Alexandria Black Tie Affair on the other and Tuxedo on the arm of a guy friend. There are similarities to them all ad they are all beautiful, but after the alcohol burns off and everything settles down I prefer Suits. It really pops with my body chemistry. It is lovely. I have always like Tuxedo, but it always felt a little "off" on me. Suits has slight powdery sweetness that calms down the greenness. I really like it. $15 well spent!

This is straight class in bottle! I really like the warm spice and patchouli at the start, it's much different than most fragrances. Then when the vanilla with a hint of rose decide show themselves the heads begin to turn. I can't believe how close this gets to the OG for a fraction of the price. Keep in mind I had to let this mature for 3 months before perfection. Performance and projection are fantastic on my skin. (8.5/10)

This is a "post a bit of maceration" review. Longevity is solid and a truly close representation of the famous tuxedo. For the price it's very hard to turn down but it needs time to get to it full potential. If you're a 20+ bottle kinda guy I say go for it cause you can let it sit after a few sprays and see what I mean. Would easily reccomend for anyone trying to get a clone of tuxedo.

I never smelled Tuxedo, but this is a very nice and classy scent. Vanilla and spices formulated in a very pleasant, and easy to understand way. For my taste it's a bit too heavy on the vanilla, but it's inoffensive classy, and absolutely not something associated with sexual attraction (for me at least) so it's perfect for office work.

I really like the scent but there is something about this DNA that all of the clones share, even with the original - they don't perform that well. Skin scent after 2 hours. Even if you shower yourself with suits and kismet it just doesn't project that well after a while. I love it, but I really wish it would project and last better.

I bought this with fairly low expectations, because its price point. But wow. It is really pleasant. I would say it is more gentle than expected. I get vanilla on the opening rather than patchouli or anything confrontational. This is definitely going in my regular rotation. I get nothing medicinal like some reviews below mention.

Pretty spot on dupe of "Tuxedo" by YSL. Lasted about 4 hours when I first bought it. Now, almost a year later, it lasts about 10 hours and has a deeper, richer scent. I could smell it on my wrist even after sleeping. I never really bought in to the whole maceration thing, but now this anecdotal evidence has convinced me.

Tuxedo is one of my all-time favourites, and Suits copies it almost perfectly. I feel like it's a bit sweeter, which makes it more mass appealing. I bought it for £16 on Amazon. I feel like I need to let it sit for a while, and I'll update this on longevity and projection. But so far it seems really good.
