Yves Saint Laurent Libre Eau De Parfum

Launched in 2019, Yves Saint Laurent Libre Eau de Parfum is a bold and empowering fragrance that redefines femininity through contrast. Created by master perfumers Anne Flipo and Carlos Benaïm, Libre (“freedom” in French) blends traditionally masculine notes with sensual floral elements, resulting in a modern aromatic-floral scent that celebrates strength, confidence, and self-expression. It’s a perfume designed for the woman who lives by her own rules—elegant, unapologetic, and free.

The fragrance opens with a radiant blend of mandarin orange, neroli, and lavender. The mandarin lends a sparkling, zesty freshness, while neroli introduces a light floral nuance. French lavender—typically used in masculine colognes—adds an aromatic sharpness, setting a bold and unexpected tone that grabs attention immediately.

At its heart, orange blossom and jasmine sambac unfold with luminous sensuality. Orange blossom brings a creamy, sun-drenched floral warmth, rich yet radiant, while jasmine sambac adds an exotic, velvety layer. These white florals offer a deeply feminine core that contrasts beautifully with the aromatic crispness of the top notes.

The base is luxuriously warm and seductive, with notes of Madagascar vanilla, ambergris, cedarwood, and musk. Vanilla adds a creamy, sweet richness that envelops the skin, while ambergris lends a slightly salty, animalic depth. Cedarwood provides structure with its dry woodiness, and musk softens the edges with a skin-like warmth that lingers for hours.

Yves Saint Laurent Libre Eau de Parfum is the ultimate balance of fiery and floral, soft and strong. Perfect for both day and evening, it’s a signature scent for the modern woman who commands her space with grace and power.
