Libre

When I smelled Libre for the first time I had no ideas of any of the notes as I never saw it here on fragrantica nor at any store . My friend brought it over from Europe for my birthday and I though “ oh no , my taste is so particular how could she lol “ however very nice of her . I could always give it away as a gift or wear it on occasion I thought. I opened it and smelled it and immediately loved it. This stuff is good ! I looked up the notes and was in complete love now. A lavender perfume with vanilla. ...one of my favourite category of all times. This perfume has incredible staying powder , great silage and amazing performance. It’s like a memory of the past , to me it’s Europe in a bottle. This is how perfumes use to perform , memories of the 80s here ,updated. Great quality , elegant , sophisticated yet sexy and warm. It has a sweet creamy vibe which is slightly herbal and aromatic , the vanilla makes it so feminine and sexy , something is slightly fresh it must be the lavender and jasmine and orange musk and ambergris that may appear ever so slightly soapy. All the notes are pretty much a combination of my favourites notes. So to me this perfume is heavenly ! Ambergris , musk , cedar and vanilla are the base of this creamy rich scent that manages to be light and fluffy at the same time. Masterpiece to my nose. Libre is described as a sexy cool , warm floral walking the line between masculine and feminine ,they say it’s the hottest launch of the year , they say Libres freestyle takes on the fougere , a classic style of men’s fragrances featuring lavender with the warm heart of the vanilla and ambergris and burning hot with orange blossom. ... The only thing not so great about this perfume is the cheap light plastic cap. It should have more weight to it. It cheapens the perfume bottle somewhat. I see Sephora carries this now. So I ordered a purse spray from there. Not that it’s needed as this perfume lasts and lasts into the night and next morning.

Certainly! Libre by Yves Saint Laurent is not just a perfume, it is a true style manifesto that has redefined the concept of "modern femininity" in recent years. Libre plays everything on contrast. Its structure is based on the Oriental Fougere family, a genre historically reserved for men's perfumery (characterised by lavender), here reinterpreted in a sensual and feminine key. As soon as it is sprayed, the impact is sparkling and aromatic. Mandarin and Petitgrain give a burst of energy, but it is the Lavender that makes itself felt immediately, giving a clean, almost "tailored" sensation. In his soul the fragrance warms. Lavender persists but blends with Moroccan Orange Blossom and Jasmine. It's a sunny and vibrant mix that keeps the scent from becoming too "masculine". The magic happens after a couple of hours. Madagascar Vanilla and Ambergris envelop the aromatic notes in a creamy and persistent softness, making the finish extremely elegant and seductive. Versatility: It is one of the few perfumes that works perfectly both in the office (thanks to its clean freshness) and for an elegant evening (thanks to the warm, amber base). It lasts excellently on the skin and has a strong but never intrusive sillage. Recommended for a woman who is not afraid to dare, who loves strong but refined perfumes and who is looking for a fragrance that communicates strength and independence. It's not the classic "sweet and sugary" scent, it's more complex and structured. The touch of the masters: The collaboration between Anne Flipo (queen of flowers) and Carlos Benaïm (master of classical structures) created a perfect balance between French freshness and oriental opulence.

Libre is one of my favourite fragrances ever and always will be. It’s so versatile and can be worn all year round. It is such a relaxing scent but at the same time makes me feel excited. It is also very sophisticated and luxurious smelling. Very grown woman. It kind of reminded me of mosquito repellant but in a really good way if that makes any sense but I kind of like the smell of mosquito repellant since I was a child. It gives the fragrance a strange and exciting kick. It also gives me a vibe of a French patisserie with eclairs wafting through the air, specifically the cream used in the middle of the eclairs. I get that same vibe from La vie est belle it’s very soothing and chic. That is why it is very multi faceted as it has many different scent memories tied into it. There is nothing else like it it is a very unique scent and all the flankers are nice to. It is very addicting. The bottle is gorgeous and luxurious to. The scent lasts for hours and hours and projects like crazy. It is strong and your fragrance will probably be the only one noticed in an entire crowd of woman wearing fragrance. Perfect date night or party scent !!

An amazing perfume! Its popularity is justified. I know it’s known for using lavender in the composition, but it’s primarily an orange blossom white floral with musky vanilla dry-down. It’s an incredibly uplifting, happiness boosting perfume. After I was upset yesterday due to some negative news, I reached for it, and it made me feel so much better. It opens up bright and citrusy- it’s like walking in a beautiful citrus fruit market with fairy lights smelling orange blossoms and a hint of lavender and petting your kitty cat. It creates a feeling of freedom. I love the name! A masterpiece! I will always want to have it. There are dupes out there, but I will wait for the OG. If you want a more lavender based perfume, then try Mon Guerlain edp or Burberry Goddess edp, those tend to be more lavender based. It’s a signature worthy scent good for daytime, events and work. Can’t go wrong with it. Longevity and projection are moderate, but perfect for daytime. If you want it to last more and be stronger, go for the intense or parfum version.

I know that this fragrance may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but for me personally, this was my first love. The jasmine and amber make it a warm and feminine scent, with lavender to keep it fresh. I feel like you’d have to like orange blossom to like this fragrance. To me, this perfume reminds me of the woman who have raised me and inspire me— warm and comforting, but clean and fresh. White wicker furniture on a back patio, fireflies swirling around you, fresh linens blowing lazily in the wind, sisters playing with each others hair, a baby nestled in its mothers embrace, lace and candles, this scent is soft but beautiful. I love spraying it at night and also for everyday/work days, great for layering or just a simple little pick me up. I love using a photorealistic rose scent from my collection to bring out the florals, and any amber/cashmere fragrances when I want it to be more comforting. They could never make me hate you YSL Libre!
