The story behind the bottle.
Libre Eau de Parfum Collector Edition 2024 by Yves Saint Laurent is a fragrance that balances the crisp freshness of lavender and mandarin orange with the warmth of vanilla, musk, and ambergris. Created by Anne Flipo and Carlos Benaïm, this scent opens with bright citrus and aromatic herbs before transitioning into a heart of floral notes like orange blossom and jasmine. The base is richly enveloping, featuring Madagascar vanilla, musk, and ambergris that create an animalic warmth. This composition captures the essence of YSL's modern elegance while drawing upon its heritage of sophisticated and bold scents.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for the best longevity. The citrus opening is bright but fades within two hours; however, the warm base notes will linger throughout the day. For a more intimate experience, wear it close to skin rather than projecting it across a room.
