Libre

Yves Saint Laurent Libre is a modern, unisex-leaning floral fougère with a bold opening that features citrus and black currant, followed by a prominent lavender note intertwined with orange blossom and jasmine. It evolves into a smooth, warm, and powdery base with vanilla and ambergris, giving it a clean, elegant, and slightly soapy character. The scent strikes a balance between freshness and sweetness, with a structure that is universally wearable and appreciated for its sophisticated, clean profile. Longevity is moderate to long, and sillage is moderate to strong—making it a confident, attention-grabbing choice, especially in cooler months. While it is marketed as feminine, many users find it tends toward a modern, unisex aesthetic, with the lavender and woody base lending a subtle masculine edge. It is not a gourmand or overly sweet fragrance, nor is it a lush, complex scent, but rather a well-blended, accessible, and polished fragrance that evokes an air of independence, confidence, and polished elegance—ideal for professional settings, evening events, or those seeking a clean, refined signature scent.
