An embodiment of the YSL ideal of 'freedom', the Libre EDP is an enchanting fragrance that boldly walks the line between masculine and feminine. Introducing a new, liberating definition to a floral fragrance, the Libre combines aromatic bold lavender notes with the sensual touch of Moroccan orange blossom to reveal a remarkable floral fusion that is complemented by audacious notes of Musk Accord.
A statement-making fougère—an aromatic harmony of scents traditionally curated and used in men's fragrances—the Libre feels like a homage to the classic spirit of the fashion house. A boldness that perfectly replicates the Saint Laurent penchant for challenging masculine silhouettes into gorgeous feminine pieces.
It opens with a warm, comforting shower of citrus, with tart dewy mandarin adding a juicy and vivid flavor. At the heart, we find Saint Laurent's beloved Moroccan orange blossom and jasmine—creating an intertwining bouquet of heady florals. Then, the herbal facet of lavender meets us in the middle to seamlessly blend the gentle white petal notes together. Juxtaposing the fruit and flowers, at the base is warm and amber Madagascan Vanilla and cedarwood that seductively intensify the bright character of this ebullient fragrance.
Another highlight is YSL Beauté's commitment to champion sustainability above all in their creation of the Libre. Staying farmer-focused, ingredients like their Lavandin heart and Madagascan vanilla are both ethically sourced—farmers' are supported by various community programs that ensure stable premium prices to promote growth in income over the long term.
