I've read and watched some videos of some people saying this is the best clone of YSL Tuxedo there is, better than FW Suits and MA Winsome (The Tux).

I have both Winsome and Kismet — both Tuxedo clones and they are amazing.

I usually have good luck with Maison Alhambra, but Winsome was a disappointing clone of Tuxedo, for me.

No idea because I don’t have it but from the research I’ve done Winsome is the better of the Tuxedo clones.

Yes, I think I'll get him and Tux/Winsome as a dupe for Tuxedo :) I was looking for Muse, but apparently it doesn't exist.

Winsome to me smells nearly identical to Tuxedo but I'm not sure about the projection I feel that it's very weak
