The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2021 and crafted by perfumers Anne Flipo and Carlos Benaïm, Libre Eau de Parfum Collector Edition 2021 is a sophisticated blend of white floral, citrus, woody, and aromatic notes. The fragrance opens with the freshness of mandarin orange and black currant, followed by lavender and petitgrain that add an herbal edge to the composition. As it evolves, the heart of jasmine and orange blossom brings a delicate sweetness, while cedar, ambergris, musk, and Madagascar vanilla create a warm and enveloping base. This Collector Edition captures the essence of modern femininity with its contrast between bright freshness and deep warmth.
Apply this fragrance in light layers to allow its multiple facets to unfold. The top notes are bright and fresh, but they quickly give way to a more enveloping base. It's best worn during cooler hours when the warmth of vanilla and ambergris can be fully appreciated.
