My happy ending
I've already written statements about both Libre L'Absolu Platine and Libre Le Parfum, and yet these are two fragrances that are close to my heart and my thoughts go beyond the brief framework :D
I'll start with the original fragrance: I've always been interested in it since it came out, but never so much that I had it on my "urgent" wish list - other fragrances always took precedence, as I'm a gourmand lover at heart.
But it stayed in the back of my mind, I tested it several times, but something always bothered me a little and was too pungent.
When Libre Intense came out, I was more taken with it, a clear thing as a fan of warmer fragrances. But my wallet could also resist it in the long run.
It wasn't until I sniffed Le Parfum that I was over the moon with this beautiful, niche fragrance jewel.
Of course, I was also curious when the silver version came out - partly because of the design, but also because I still hadn't quite got over the original.
And I finally found in L'Absolu Platine what Libre couldn't give me: cool harmony without any disturbing notes.
I'm probably more of a fan of "lots of lavender" than the orange blossom, neroli and yasmine of the normal Libre - in retrospect, those are probably my disruptors...:D
Conclusion: a cool beauty that is nevertheless warm. Harmonious, long-lasting - even after many hours I can still feel it on me and it always flares up slightly.
And since today I also know what my nose is still reminded of: Emporio Armani "She" - my absolute all-time favorite since my teenage years. The same feeling, with some overlaps in the ingredients and both are simply tailor-made for my skin.
I highly recommend both niche versions of Libre, they are the most beautiful & multi-faceted fragrances in the range for me.
One warm, heavy & seductive and the other fresh, elegant & yet not undercooled.
