The story behind the bottle.
Libre Eau de Toilette by Yves Saint Laurent was launched in 2021, created by perfumers Anne Flipo and Carlos Benaïm. This floral fragrance opens with a bright burst of citrus and lavender before transitioning into a heart of orange blossom, jasmine tea, and jasmine. The base notes of musk, vanilla, and ambergris add warmth and sensuality, creating a scent that is both fresh and enveloping.
Apply two sprays on pulse points for a balanced experience. The top notes are bright but fade within an hour, so reapply if you want to maintain that initial freshness throughout the day.
