This is everything that was missing in the original in my opinion

I always felt like such a weirdo, when the original Libre wasn't my fav, I didn't hate it, it just wasn't me. Even the intense one. I am not the biggest vanilla girl, but something about this is just so well balanced. It smells expensive and floral and not heavy. The bottle is stunning oh my days it is gorg and i like this perfume a lot girl.

Libre has been tamed

I was very curious about this new flanker in the beautiful bottle.

The typical Libre DNA is recognizable here as well, just significantly simplified.
The orange blossom has been toned down considerably, and the lavender is also much more restrained than in the predecessors.

During the first half hour, Libre Vanille Couture evokes the least from all the flankers in the series for me.
Familiar yet different, it feels a bit too arbitrary. Hm...

Once the opening settles, the new promised twist becomes apparent.
A vanilla that beautifully shifts between soft sweet and warm soft.

I don't catch any rum in my nose.
Too bad, I could have imagined a well-crafted boozy touch as an exciting variant for cold winter evenings and fancy occasions.
On the other hand, Libre Vanille Couture thus avoids drifting into the more gourmand territory and can maintain the more mature aura of its predecessors.

Overall, the fragrance becomes significantly more harmonious from this point on, gaining a snug quality that I can particularly envision for the colder months.

So, is it a new candidate for purchase?
I love the Libre line mainly for its rather "edgy" DNA, the interplay of cool and warm, bossy and feminine.

This somewhat gets lost in "Libre Vanille Couture | Yves Saint Laurent," which is why the fragrance will probably not replace my favorite variant "Libre Le Parfum | Yves Saint Laurent," which it actually comes closest to for me.

For anyone who already has one of its sisters in their closet, it’s probably not a revelation, but still nicely done and worth a test.
Even those who found the predecessors perhaps too harsh might find happiness with this toned-down version.

Dreamy Drydown

Do I really still need you? I thought to myself after I heard about the release. I see the bottle .. read the notes .. YES, my Libre collection is probably going to get bigger! Ordered online from Paris right away .. a few days later it was there and I got to smell it for the first time .. once again a pricey blind buy. It was worth it! The original Libre is still there although for me it’s more the Libre Le Parfum but with such a dreamy vanilla drydown .. heavenly! I am in love! By the way, I don't perceive anything in the rum.

Name is Program

Here you initially get the original Libre DNA - lavender, orange blossom, and jasmine combined with vanilla - so nothing new at first.

However, the scent is distinctly warmer and more vanillic from the very beginning (and of course throughout its entire development). It strongly reminds me of the Libre Le Parfum variant, but it is actually "different" in its vanilla. The listed candy vanilla shines through wonderfully here. An authentic, slightly earthy, and perhaps even minimally animalistic vanilla. So definitely not a mundane baking vanilla or something similar. I find the twist very exciting. However, I don't get the listed rum or any other boozy note.

The bottle is also a dream and a "must-have" for Libre collectors and lovers. The limited edition makes it particularly appealing.

Anyone who generally likes Libre and is not averse to vanilla should definitely give it a try. But please make sure to test it on the skin and give the scent a little time. The scent on the test strip was not remotely like it was on my skin even after several hours.

A Gem!

Wow.. the appearance is already a highlight, and the scent even more so! At first, I was a bit hesitant due to the price, but my eyes simply made the decision. It feels significantly more sensual than its predecessors. I imagine it being perfect for winter, with an elegant coat, red lips, and a tightly pulled-back ponytail on a date.. After over 60 fragrances, I still don't have a clear favorite in the number 1 spot… maybe this will be it? Absolute recommendation, and perfect for gifting.
