It’s been so popular lately. It’s quite unique but I don’t really like the lavender overdose.
Sent bon mais tellement similaire aux autres Libre. On sent bien la lavande et la fleur d’oranger. Rien à dire sur la longévité et le sillage. Cependant, la version parfum est mieux travaillée et, pour le prix, je ne conserverai que ce dernier dans ma collection.
Female leaning This scent has a special place in my heart. ❤️ I can’t be without wearing a perfume and I was just buying some stuff in the shopping center with my husband and I felt naked because I forgot perfume in the hurry while leaving from home. I sprayed this and I somehow liked it (difficult of course to say just after testing the first time). After for a while he just disappeared somewhere and came after few minutes and gave me this. 🥰 I didn’t like it so much during the first days but after few days I got hooked and I wore this many months as a signature scent. This was over a year ago. But what about the scent: opening is quite sharp citrus and lavender and it’s actually the difficult part for me and something which normally would have made me not to choose this. But after 15-20 minutes one of my favorites white flowers Orange Blossom and Jasmine start to shine together with soft, warm a little bit sweet and beautiful base with musky vanilla while Cedar and Ambergris is balancing the sweetness. The scent is not groundbreaking but it does has (at least had before there started to be many poor dupes of it) the unique and special, sumptuous character which is not so easy to find in designer scents nowadays. Several flankers are nice as well but since I'm not a fan of flankers I stick into this original one. I’m happy that I got to know this and this is one of my designer scents which I still adore.

I hate commenting on new 'female' releases as I figure my opinion is less valid as they are clearly not aimed at me and I should just remain in my wheelhouse. However, it's not in my nature to do that, and I thought Libre sucked...HARD! No only kidding, but have YSL created a perfume so bland and (hate this cliche but...) crowd pleasing that I couldn't even focus on it for a second? Reminiscent of that episode of Father Ted with the Priest with the most boring voice in Ireland.:) I love Orange blossom (now) and I can't say that this has the waxy majesty, but there you go. The opening is a orange/fig sort of citrus, aldehyde, into a white flowery heart which I never felt had a great deal of intrigue. The drydown was light with a mild sweetness, not too sweet and inevitably butched up on my skin compared to that of ladies no doubt. I'd have to test Libre again to assess the sheerness and feminine vibes but NOTHING about this perfume grabbed me and I'm someone who has a history of enjoying YSL's femme roster, Rive Gauche and Cinema being case in point.
