L'Homme Libre, from Yves Saint Laurent was released in 2011. The perfumer behind this creation is Carlos Benaim and Olivier Polge. It has the top notes of Basil, Bergamot, Star Anise, and Violet Leaf, middle notes of Nutmeg and Pink Pepper, and base notes of Patchouli and Vetiver.
Yes I immediately liked this one. Strange really when I'm pretty indifferent about L'Homme and La nuit de L'Homme but obviously not when you consider how different they really are. I mean the other two are okay and very popular it would appear but never really grabbed me. I think it's the violet leaf note that I love and instantly draws me in to the point where I'm hooked right off the bat. I'm definitely getting this soon so I can give a more rounded review..but thus far it's love at first sniff! Just an update on this, got it worn it still really enjoying it. Although its nothing like Fahrenheit really it's reminiscent with that violet accord the burgamot is prominent at first and to me it almost has a fizzy smell to it(if that's not too abstract) I mean like a kind of quinine tonic watery sort of vibe...but sweet and a little floral too. It's great!!!
