Yves Saint Laurent Libre Le Parfum was released in 2022, an amber floral interpretation with a dash of honey and ginger for the best-selling classic Libre. Created by Anne Flipo and Carlos Beniam, it has notes of ginger, saffron, mandarin orange, bergamot, orange blossom, lavender, Bourbon vanilla, honey, tonka bean and vetiver. It is an eau de parfum, edp.
From the brand - "Libre Le Parfum is a luxurious warm and spicy interpretation on the classic Eau de Parfum with an endless floral trail. Our most intense and long-lasting floral perfume for women enriched with fresh lavender, sensual orange blossom and rare warm saffron accord from the YSL Beauty Ourika Community Garden. The saffron accord is an olfactive tribute to the spicy ‘Fleurs de feu’ praised by Mr. Saint Laurent himself, creating an unapologetically sensual twist. The burning blend is the most concentrated and longest lasting perfume in the collection for a daring and bold woman."
Fragrantica - "Bright, powerful, and intense scent. Normally, I do not like lavender but it is balanced here with notes of citrus, vanilla and honey. It is very similar to the EDP intense but a bit bolder and deeper."
Fragrantica - "The Le Parfum version is exactly what I needed and more. Same DNA as the flankers and original, so unmistakingly a Libre, yet the honey gives it a radiating sweetness without being cloying. Added vanilla and Tonkabean creates a smooth roundness, subtle sexyness. But what I love about this scent most is the bursting fresh floral of orange blossom and lavender. It literally makes me happy and you can smell it all day on you."
Fragrantica - "It's deep, it's mysterious, it's well rounded, it's effortless sexy, smooth and a compliment magnet. The original and other flankers have a more masculine touch, which I do like, but something was always missing. The Le Parfum version finally gets the depth what I hoped for."
Fragrantica - "This is DIVINE. It’s so luxurious. The type of perfume you want to bathe in. It’s warm, sweet and well rounded. The honey really sweetens up the vanilla without becoming sickly."
