The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2022, Libre Le Parfum by Yves Saint Laurent is an Oriental Floral fragrance that marries the freshness of citrus with the warmth of vanilla and honey. Perfumers Anne Flipo and Carlos Benaïm have crafted a scent that opens with the zesty notes of ginger and mandarin orange, complemented by the bright zest of bergamot. The heart blossoms with lavender and orange blossom, while the base settles into bourbon vanilla, honey, tonka bean, and vetiver, creating a harmonious blend that is both sweet and spicy.
Apply two sprays to ensure that the zesty top notes of ginger and mandarin orange blend well with the deeper vanilla and honey base. This fragrance blooms after about an hour, so give it time to develop on your skin before stepping out.
