Glitter Tuxedo

Glitter Tuxedo, from the Italian house Basile, is a masculine fragrance released in 2024. Spice and amber lead equally, with sweet, woody and floral sides each about half as strong.

Black pepper and pepper give a dry, sparkling, prickly spice at the start, bright and lively like the glitter of the name. Osmanthus brings a soft, apricot-and-suede floral note to the heart, unusual in a masculine composition and quietly elegant. The base is warm and smoky: incense adds a dry, resinous haze, patchouli an earthy depth, vanilla a creamy sweetness and ambergris a warm, salty, mineral glow.

It suits autumn and winter, evenings and formal occasions, in keeping with the black-tie name. It should appeal to someone who likes warm, peppery ambers with a smoky incense base and an unexpected floral softness, polished and dressed-up rather than casual or sporty, a scent for nights out and celebrations.
