The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2025 and crafted by perfumers Anne Flipo and Carlos Benaïm, Libre Vanille Couture is a luxurious reinterpretation of the original Libre fragrance from Yves Saint Laurent. This Oriental Vanilla scent introduces an ambery, gourmand twist with golden vanilla caviar at its heart. The composition blends French lavender and Moroccan orange blossom with rich Black Bourbon Vanilla Caviar from Madagascar, enhanced by a touch of Rum Absolute. The fragrance is presented in a gold-adorned bottle that reflects both sophistication and sensuality.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for an intimate warmth that lingers throughout the day. The golden vanilla caviar takes about an hour to fully bloom on the skin, so give it time to develop its depth.
