Libre Le Parfum is a warm, gourmand floral with a soft, sweet honey and vanilla base, making it ideal for cooler seasons. It represents a more elegant and refined evolution of the Libre Intense formula, with slightly more pronounced sweetness and depth from honey, bourbon vanilla, and tonka bean. The opening features fresh citrus notes of bergamot and mandarin orange, complemented by aromatic ginger and saffron, which add a subtle spice without overpowering the floral core. Lavender is present but well-integrated, balancing the sweet notes without any harshness. The dry down is smooth, creamy, and relatively long-lasting on skin, with notable persistence on fabrics. It feels more modern and luxurious than the original or Intense versions, offering a richer, deeper experience that many find unexpectedly compelling.
