Léonie

absolutely gorgeous scent. based upon memory of my sample of Libre - this is pretty spot on. very fresh and clean. on my skin, i mostly pick up the lavender, jasmine, and mandarin. it’s beautifully blended and not sharp. many ME fragrances need to sit, but this one is great straight out of the box (i got mine yesterday). this is mass-appealing and a safe wear. projection is not as strong as Libre, so this is more office-friendly as long as you don’t overspray. great for spring and summer, but since it’s a really clean scent, you could wear this year-round and in any occasion. definitely feminine. creates a nice, arms-length scent bubble, soft, decent longevity. i agree with the review below stating that it’s like a Diet Libre, but for me, that’s what makes it so easy to wear. great reach for days when you just can’t decide.

. . . I am so glad I bought this & the intense. The Leonies and others with a similar scent dna are as close to a signature scent as may ever get. They are my comfort scents. When I first got these, the regular would not last through the night even layered on lavender oil. My pajamas would not smell of Leonie in the morning. Fast forward a few months and the juice has turned a richer amber color, yellowish not deep golden. I almost exclusively wear for bed over lavender oil. Now, I wake still smelling its scent on my pajamas and a slight clean skin scent. I can wear lightly in our high humidity and get complements. Both Leonies are worth getting, they mature quick & deep. I love them both so much. 10/10

Well call me Impressed! I have a mini of YSL Libre and this version, Léonie is a spectacular clone of it. Holy moly I am in love! 💟 96% identical with that 4% being a different kind of sweetness on the opening and a more sugar-sweet, powdery dry down whereas Libre's strong floral opening lasts longer with more of a floral-sweet, less powdery dry down. Longevity overall seems equal even at the 3 hour mark. Both formulas are phenomenal scents in their own right. I personally don't feel the need to purchase the overpriced YSL brand when this $30 clone is so good that only an experienced perfumiere would know the difference. 10/10 I love this!

When I first received this one, I was not impressed. Very light and floral. It performed like a cheap mist. I would randomly spray it and think....there's nothing spectacular about this. After setting for probably 5 months, she has changed. This is a powerhouse. Now I have what I was wanting out of this perfume. Its sexy, sweet, strong and radiates. I wish more people would come back after letting these Arabic perfumes set. We may get truer reviews. Im thankful I didnt give it away and was patient. If you have the patience to let this one mature I think you will be very pleased.

No idea yet how smells original perfume, but I absolutely love this one! It smells amazing to me and stays very long on my skin, +12 hours, and I can feel it on myself all the time. Right away it got in my top 5 perfumes here. Honestly now I want to try different flankers and original Libre, but not sure it will have similar great staying power but will cost mostly 4 times more than my current Leonie. In any case definitely will be getting another one bottle of Leonie. Can't get enough of it. Also on my list is Intense version of Leonie.

95% the same as Libre. Smell on the surface is identical, but Libre has more depth and warmth to it. I own both. So i just wore this to work today, and i like Leonie better. It has something vaguely sugary to it but not in a gourmand way. It's not sugar but something that reminds me of it and I really like it. It stayed on me for the whole workday and today i worked outside in the rain. I really love this perfume.

Peace Peace. I have both Leonie and Libre and I prefer Leonie. It's blended better and performs beautifully on my skin. My chemistry brings out the jasmine, vanilla and mandarian most, therefore I add more vanilla and lavender in certain moods. I often layer it with Frankicense and Lavender by Indigo Wild and Kumba Lavendar Lace. It brings it back to nature on my earthy days. Get it, it's worth it.

well blended fragrance. tested it alongside few other Lattafa fragrances (Fakhar extrait, Teriaq, Yara and Yara candy) and liked this one the most. its smooth, has no alcohol blast in the opening like Lattafas had and long lasting (+7 hours with good sillage). lavender note is well done and doesn't come off soapy and synthetic. smells very clean and elegant and an absolute steal for the price. 9/10

Super clean girl yet also a little sweet with some personality! I love lavender so much, and I think this perfume encapsulates it perfectly. I’ve never smelled Libre but I like this anyways :) Update: I adore the dry down on this so much? it projects exceptionally even after 7 hours and it has this addictive sweet clean smell that’s literally divine 😭

Creo que se va a convertir en uno de mis perfumes favoritos. Recién echado no me hacía mucho, pero cuando se ha secado se ha empezado a notar bastante la lavanda, y ¡me ha encantado! En cuanto a la longevidad no puedo opinar, porque me lo acabo de comprar, pero pinta bien. Me gusta, la verdad.

Incredible..I don’t know what YSL Libre smells like but for me, that’s a not a problem. This perfume is such an incredible value for how expensive it smells. It’s along the lines of Classique JPG and Agent Provocateur. Heavy, sensual, seductive. 100% love!

A qualidade desse perfume é de outro mundo pelo preço que é cobrado. É uma cópia muito boa do Libre e vale muito a pena. Fixação e projeção impecável, além da embalagem ser de excelente qualidade. Vale super a pena.

This is a review of the Intense version, which I purchased off Amazon. Beautiful and long lasting scent. Masculine but not too masculine. Really lovely.

Love from the first sniff ...it’s also , strangely enough, like a baby of all three flankers of Libre -I just love this slight distance from the OG

It was an instant buy for me. Love love love the Jasmin in the beginning. So refreshing and still long lasting.

This smells exactly like ysl libre but last longer on me the og and less then 20 bucks? Heck yes!

I love it such a compliment getter perfume but its sillage is weak

I get a lot of Jasmin in the opening. But I love it.

It opens fresh and sharp with juicy mandarin and lots of lavender. after a while, white flowere show up.mandarin orange fades away and lavender calms down a bit. drydown is my favorite part. It gets a bit warm and a lot more smooth and slightly sweet. lavender is still there but very faint and orange flower, is the main actor. this scent of orange flower blended with a slightest touch of lavender, powdery clean musk and a hint of vanilla is what remains on skin for the next few hours. I tested original Libre just once a long time ago so I can't compare it to Leonie. Leonie as a stand alone perfume is a beautiful and versatile one. It's clean, classy, calming and mature. wearable year round and even suitable for office wear. it barely stays four hours on my skin with soft to moderate sillage but maceration might improve that. This is not my usual type since I usually prefer warm, sweet gourmands and I'm not a fan of lavender and citrus notes. but I still like this one because I love orange flower and Leonie's drydown is mostly a silky beautiful orange flower note. I would have loved it even more if vanilla was stronger. I bought Leonie for my sister who loves Libre and she believes it's 90% the same as Libre.

I just sourced this beauty the other day and seeing no reviews, decided to remedy the situation! I've been testing 'the real' YSL version and find it strong, long lasting, and opinionated. In other words, Libre has personality. You will be happy to know, so does Leonie! She is only slightly less strong, right out of the box, and the resemblance past the opening is remarkable. Top notes stronger in both citrus and orange blossom make this scent initially lean more in the direction of classics like Armani Code. Minutes later, however, lavender and friends appear. The result is so, so close. How do I know this? I had sis along while shopping, and she sprayed 'the real' from a tester on her arm, and later in the day, Leonie as well. Leonie did not outperform the YSL, but it smelled just as good and so close that I had difficulty distinguishing the two. The scent trail of either is positively gorgeous. At the moment, Leonie seems to be the less expensive dupe of Libre. If so, I would get Leonie over Libba. Either will likely leave a remarkably similar impression. Highly Recommended.

I have Libre. I purchased it when it first came out and spent more than I usually like to on a blind buy, but it was hyped big time! Then I got Leonie intense which I love! About a year later, I purchased Leonie. So it’s not quite as matured as my Leonie intense. However, I can say the opening is pretty different on Leonie. Maybe sweeter? But different! I can pick up more lavender and a touch of citrus in Leonie I’m testing one on each hand and strange but true, in the dry down, Leonie is more intense than the intense! I like that! The intense is smoother for sure and a tad spicier, but the original Leonie packs a punch that is eternal! They’re close enough that I’m going to layer them and get the whole package! These are fantastic deals for the price! If I had purchased these first I would have saved my money! Libre is beautiful, no doubt about it, but the sillage and the longevity combined with the price point makes these the clear winner for me! Edit- 1/9 wore the intense today and I love it but felt it was missing something. Layered this in top and it’s amazing!

This review is for léonie intense. It’s about 95% similar to Libre intense. I barely even notice lavender which is a little sad. The mandarin in the opening is very noticeable. Like opening a can of mandarins. Juicy but dries down to a cleaner softer orange blossom. The dry down is where it really has the most similarities. The vanilla is barely noticeable to my nose but it does have a more complex base that I’m really fond of. Comes off a bit more dense. The longevity is amazing. I got 8+ hours and 3 foot projection off 1 spray. I think I might even prefer this version to ysl. Price was 26$ on Amazon. Blind bought because I knew I would love it and I was right.

If you love libre but are on a budget this is a great replacement. I bought this for $15 and ended up selling it for the same price just because I didn’t reach for it enough. I have 2 oz of libre I need to burn through. I don’t love Libre enough to repurchase it or even get this again As replacement. But it Libre is your girl then you’ll enjoy this. I prefer libre intense. To me this perfume smelled like libre intense for the first month and then it settled and softened into a dupe for libre OG. Very unisex and a nicely done dupe for a stupid cheap price

I want to gate keep this perfume. The projection is just amazing. When I sprayed it for the first time, I did not catch the ysl scent, but after a few seconds, it really smelled like YSL LIBRE. I washed my hands 4 times and the smell still lingered. I am amazed with this perfume. Maison Alhambra did it again. I first bought the dupe of versace versense from Maison alhambra and it was 99.90% similar. I can say that if you can’t afford ysl libre, buy this instead. It’s 95% similar. I can’t wait to try their Chants tenderina.

I own Libre by YSL, and while I didn’t expect Léonie to be an exact clone, I was surprised by how close it comes. It is citrusy, airy, and lifted by ambergris. Yes, Libre is more polished, with a smoother lavender-vanilla balance, but Léonie is nicez in its own right. The sillage is moderate and pleasant, just enough to be noticed without overwhelming, which suits this citrus-lavender style perfectly. Longevity is respectable: around five hours on skin, and more on clothing.

This one took a WHILE for me to enjoy. There was a synthetic, yucky note that I did not like, and I left her alone for a whole year. I sprayed her again, and was pleasantly surprised. This is a pretty, easy to wear, long lasting, feminine fragrance. I don’t get a lot of lavender still, which is a little disappointing, but I wear this when I want to smell nice and unassuming. 7/10

Very lavender forward. Richly vanillic in the dry down. This is just nice. I don’t think it’s anything special, initially I had loved this but after sitting the lavender note began to dominate. If you don’t mind the harsh lavender opening this could be something enjoyable for you. You will definitely smell clean lol I wear it to bed for that very reason. Long lasting for sure

This is a really good dupe for Libre. It's not as strong or projecting as the OG and it also isn't as rich smelling. Leonie is the diet version of Libre. My bottle is brand new and it will probably get stronger as time goes on. Great pick up for $30CAD though. It's a clean, professional scent and can be worn in all situations. I am loving the Libre DNA.

Maybe one day I’ll have saved enough to purchase YSL Libre. But even then I’ll be grateful for Leonie - it smells delightful and makes me happy. It’s perfect for every season but I enjoy it best in the fall. You’ve done it again, Maison Alhambra. Thank you!

I own YSL Libre intense, and was hoping to find a cheaper dupe that I could wear often without worrying about money. This is an admirable dupe indeed—but did y’all know that there’s a Léonie intense too??? I’ll need to check that one out asap.

A really amazing clone of YSL's Libre for under $20? Say less. I really love this and I think it's very similar to the OG. Doesn't last as long but I think it's worth the hype.

I am amazed with this perfume. It smells exactly like the OG. Two of my workmates have the OG. I wore this to work and they thought that I am also wearing the OG one.

95% fiel ao libre. Testando os dois na saída não dá para distinguir,depois ele fica um pouco mais suave. Vale apena o custo benefício por ser 1/3 do valor .

This is such a beautiful light fragrance, perfect for everyday, work, casual --- it is such a mild and pleasant clean and fresh scent.

It smells good, but, I keep having headaches when I spray it on me. I don’t know why. It’s actually a good dupe.

Classic scent and smells 90% similar to YSL Libre. It is definitely feminine and I love it on my fiancee.

It is ok. Definitely not a signature scent. The opening is kind of interesting but it feels mature in a bad way; it is not neither playful nor dynamic at all. After a while the scent becomes irrelevant and generic. It is moderately sweet and quiet, like a colleage who is pleasant but hesitates to ask for a promotion. Overall, one smells fine wearing it, but nothing special. The lavender is non existent, at least to my nose.

I had Libre. Now I have Leonie and I find her similar only in the first phase, then it develops into cheap perfume. When I sprayed it, I was excited that it reminded me a lot with Libre, but after a while I did not like it. It is not bad but I find it less attractive then Libre.

I made the mistake of blind-buying this fragrance. To my nose, this is an 80's hairspray scent (though not as offensive as Aqua Net). And in the drydown, there is a note that is somewhat funky and headache inducing. It is either the musk or the ambergris. It is the same note that ruins Narissa Poudree, which is also made by Maison Alhambra. I let both fragrances sit for several months, but neither has improved much, unfortunately. I will give them another try in the cooler months, but I think I'm going to have to declutter them. Update (six months in): I tested this out again a few days ago, and I have to say it is a little better than it was. The hairspray vibe has toned down a bit, and the musk/ambergris funk is not quite as strong. I'll give it another couple of months and try it again before I declutter it.

After reading multiple reviews i have bought a bottle for like 22 Euro. My wife got multiple bottles of Libre in the past. 80% of the reviews said that this is a 1/1 YSL Libre copy. IT IS NOT. Smells nothing like Libre. Libre is a timeless masterpiece that fits every age. This is the piece of perfume that reminds me of 80 year old grandmas using cheap floral perfumes. Lasts like 4 hours, makes everyone nauseous around her, synthetic, not sweet enough. Give it a little more vanilla, less floral notes and it's perfect. It's literally 70% lavender, 20% Jasmine and the rest is alcohol..

The opening is identical to the original, but after that, they are very easy to tell apart. Leoni is bothersome and synthetic, dominated by a harsh lavender -(I have nothing against lavender in general), but it's poorly executed here, smelling like a bad air freshener. Libre is far more refined, even if it's not quite my cup of tea.

Hanni, probably because our Lattafa/ME perfumes are cheaply made with slim regulations and no oversight. The EU has the strongest regulations in the world and even Guerlain, THE Guerlain, has stopped selling their products in California because they'd have to put a warning on the box that an ingredient is known to cause harm which doesn't really look too good for your brand. I noticed that when i sprayed Mon Guerlain on my inner arms it caused contact dermatitis. If Guerlain, a perfume regulated by the EU, has ingredients that are bad for you, just imagine how bad your $30 Lattafa made in the ME is...I won't spray ANY ME perfume on my skin, only on my clothing. It's like buying a perfume off Temu made in Hong Kong....and at least products on Temu are often required to list if a product has ingredients known by the state of California to cause harm. And even then I don't like to breathe it (any Lattafa/ME) for too long. I should just spring for Libre/Libre Intense, and be safe, but I can't help but try this one and pray along with hormone disruptors (ALL fragrances are hormone disruptors) that it doesn't have carcinogenic ingredients as well...lol it just smells so much like Libre I couldnt help trying it...for the 3 hours I can smell it before it ghosts. If it's causing you to have adverse reactions you probably are sensitive to an ingredient in it that is harmful. And they aren't required to list all the ingredients and even if they were, who is going to enforce that? No one is looking over their shoulder. The EU and USA gets the perfume and they can only guess what is in it besides what is listed.

Smelling this as a little eastern bluebird is flying by my window and has now just perched itself on the outside sill. Feels like the most natural thing to see as I smell the lovely orange blossom lacing intself into the lavender and light touches of vanilla of this fragrance. Like these two worlds belong together - birds singing, bees pollinating, the sun warming the leaves of the elm outside my window. The opening of the perfume feels like spring with the orange blossom and then transforms into summer with more of the warm and honeyed amber and vanilla settling in and that lavender still holding strong. While the overall composition isn't particularly unique or groundbreaking, it's a nice, classy and easy reach and for only ~$20, I'm very pleased with this blind buy. Couldn't help but order the Intense version just now 💖😏 Note: Day 1 of spraying this fragrance was a potent mess of screechy and cheap smelling orange flower and lavender. We're only at day 4 and it's already so* much better. Xo

Que perfume estranhamente viciante. Ele PARECE que é unissex, mas é extremamente feminino, marcante, elegante, sexy sem ser vulgar. Me sinto tranquila mas cheia de energia e fresquinha o dia inteiro. Bonita! Transmite seriedade e calmaria. Saída pesada, quase que enjoativa, mas logo se acalma. Na minha pele sobressai a lavanda abaunilhada de fundo amadeirado, um pouco amargo. Ele me fez querer gastar o valor do Libre 100ml. Quem tem dificuldade para aceitar perfumes fougere em mulheres, esquece a possibilidade de tê-lo. Fixação das primeiras borrifadas foi de 4h, nas roupas 8h. Mas esses árabes depois de um tempo ficam potentes.

I received the intense version of Leonie 2 weeks ago. I must admit YSL Libre was a fragrance I avoided for years bc of the lavender note. Lavender tends to read like masculine after shave on my skin. A few months ago I got my nose on Libre and it was love at first sniff. I decided to purchase Leonie intense. It is amazing 😍 Maison Alhambra is spot on. Will be purchasing Leonie and a backup of Leonie Intense. One of the most beautiful fragrances I've smelled in a long time.

This is a great dupe 95% accuracy to YSL’s Libre EDT worth the price! Sometimes Amazon sells this one for $17-$25 range. 10/10 rating I do think it’s sweeter than YSL in the opening but the dry down is the same. Performance wise also the same. Love this one 🤩

Overall it is very pleasant and longlasting, but it has a strong masculine note that is carried all the way through the note stages. I don't know what that is. Strongly reminds me of Dior Poison.

Smells like lavander air freshener. I can only smell lavander and nothing else, also it gives some masculine scent that i dont like at all

Smells like the OG from YSL but it doesn’t stay on the skin for to long unfortunately. Good price though!
