Yves Saint Laurent Libre Intense Eau De Parfum

Launched in 2020, Yves Saint Laurent Libre Intense Eau de Parfum is a richer, deeper, and more sensual interpretation of the original Libre. Created once again by Anne Flipo and Carlos Benaïm, this flanker intensifies the bold contrast between floral elegance and aromatic strength, infusing the composition with warmth, creaminess, and golden sensuality. It’s a fragrance for women who embody fierce femininity and aren’t afraid to make a statement—luxurious, magnetic, and unapologetically free.

The scent opens with a sophisticated burst of bergamot, mandarin, and lavender. The citrus notes bring a bright, zesty lift that quickly transitions into the cool, aromatic edge of French lavender. This signature note maintains its sharp contrast to the floral core, signaling the strength and structure that Libre is known for—but here, the edges are rounder and more refined.

At the heart of the fragrance blooms an intense bouquet of orange blossom, jasmine sambac, and orchid. Orange blossom continues to shine with its rich, radiant creaminess, while jasmine sambac adds an opulent floral depth. The addition of orchid elevates the heart with a velvety, almost exotic softness, enhancing the fragrance’s sensual dimension and adding complexity to the floral arrangement.

The base is where Libre Intense truly earns its name. It features an enveloping blend of Madagascar vanilla, tonka bean, ambergris, and vetiver. Vanilla is more prominent than in the original, offering a creamy, almost boozy warmth. Tonka bean adds a nutty sweetness, while ambergris brings depth and sensuality. Vetiver anchors the base with a touch of earthiness, ensuring a smoky, long-lasting trail.

YSL Libre Intense Eau de Parfum is a golden, glowing fragrance—ideal for cooler months, evening wear, or whenever you want to radiate power and seduction. It offers the same signature tension of the original, now drenched in warmth and intensified floral richness.
