The Libre fragrances are all just so beautiful and perfect.
Libre Le Parfum | Yves Saint Laurent" also immediately cast a spell over me...
After a short fresh start with bergamot and mandarin, you get the lavender, which smells simply heavenly in all Libre flankers.
The lavender is slightly more dominant in
Libre Le Parfum than in
Libre Eau de Parfum. The subtly sweet and warming base with vanilla and tonka bean is also more prominent here than in the EdP.
Overall, I would describe the EdP as somewhat lighter, fresher and more suitable for spring than Le Parfum. For fall and winter, however,
Libre Le Parfum is simply perfect.
The fragrance is fresh, yet sweet, warming and accompanies you through the day.
You perceive yourself, the fragrance knocks again and again throughout the day and calls out to you in a pleasant way. It's there, but it doesn't disturb you or become unpleasant.
It lasts really well on me, I can still smell it well after 12 hours and close to the skin after 18 hours.
The sillage is strong at first, but after 1-2 hours it is no longer so extreme for others, which is actually really good, because it doesn't annoy anyone.
Thanks to the lavender,
Libre Le Parfum, which is actually marketed by YSL as a women's fragrance, is also very wearable for men, as it gives the fragrance a masculine note.
I personally associate this type of fragrance with the SOTN of the cool guys from the 90s. I couldn't name a specific scent, but I get vibes from the big nightclubs of the 90s.
The sample is almost empty... winter is approaching. The bottle needs to move in soon.
