I’ve been trying to find a new signature scent for a while now, and have had several fails and false starts. I’m approaching 32 and my past favorites were feeling a bit too young and sweet for my taste now. In the past I’ve loved YSL Mon Paris, Versace Bright Crystal, Chanel Chance Eau Tendre, Burberry Brit, Nest Indigo, Replica Jazz Club, JM Sea Salt & Sage, etc. I always lean towards the fresher & spicier side of things and can’t do things that are too floral or sweet. One struggle I have with certain scents I love otherwise (JM Sea Salt & Sage, Nest Indigo, Replica (any of their fragrances)) is that they don’t have enough staying power. As someone else mentioned in the reviews I just can’t justify spending $100+ for something that I can’t even smell after 2-3 ... MoreI’ve been trying to find a new signature scent for a while now, and have had several fails and false starts.

As someone else mentioned in the reviews I just can’t justify spending $100+ for something that I can’t even smell after 2-3 hours, and that’s definitely not something you want with a signature scent. Luckily for me I finally caved and bought this on a somewhat blind buy whim. I tried it in the store several years ago when it came out, and remember not being totally taken with it, but figured I would give it another shot. I’m SO glad I did. It’s the perfect mix of sweetness, spice & a hint of floral. It evokes BBE and gives you the sense of feeling put together, even if you’re just wearing sweats, but isn’t too overwhelming. Warm enough to be appropriate for night and fall/winter, but with enough cologne type freshness for spring/summer and daytime wear this is exactly what I was looking for in terms of flexibility with a new signature scent. I was worried that with this being such a popular scent I would blend in with the crowd of people wearing it, but it truly works with your unique body chemistry in such a way that the dry down smells different on each person who wears it. Recommend for 25+ as it is a bit more mature. The one note I would make is be cautious of over-spraying at first if you’re used to working with lighter scents (totally my mistake upon breaking it out). If you’re on the fence take the plunge!

Warm, Sweet, Long-lasting Fragrance! Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2021 I rarely write reviews but this fragrance is worth it. This scent has a lot of dimension to it. It’s also worth noting, that this is not a fake. It is the real thing. It smells sweet and warm, but not sickly sweet. I can detect the vanilla and caramel, but it’s not an overpowering gourmand blast. It’s worth mentioning that vanilla is used in aromatherapy for calming the nerves and this scent is definitely warm, sensual, and calming at the same time. Again, this scent has a lot of dimension to it! I sampled the fragrance right after I picked it up from my local Amazon Hub locker. I sprayed it on my wrists. The next morning, I could still smell it on my wrists, even after hand washing. ... MoreWarm, Sweet, Long-lasting Fragrance!

I didn’t have to have my wrists dripping wet in the fragrance either for longevity. Just three sprays.

Girl! If you don’t have this perfume in your collection, what are you doing with your life?. Let me just say this perfume bottle is so gorgeous with the gold detail. I love the top it’s very unique and definitely completes the bottle design. The scent of this perfume is just very sexy in my opinion this is the perfume that you would use when going out with your girls or with your husband. I’ve gotten several compliments while wearing this perfume from men and women which is really nice. I got mine from Ulta and it came with a YSL toiletry bag which was a pretty nice size. Overall is perfume is amazing get it you won’t regret it. They say it lasts really long and I always pair my perfume with an unscented oil because it makes it less so much more longer than it ... MoreGirl!

Lavender is one of my least favorite scents and yet I REALLY love this perfume. To me, this perfume is fresh and clean but unique at the same time. It's just classy. The lavender is balanced out so well with the citrus and vanilla. This is the kind of perfume you wear to a job interview or something where you want to smell nice but you don't want to choke other people with your fragrance. Sadly, that's the reason why it looses a star for me... I LOVE everything about how this perfume smells, I just really wish it wasn't a skin scent and would project more (esp for an EDP... I expected longer wear and more projection but I have to reapply every 3-4 hours to get the strength I want). Sadly the intense version just isn't the same so it's this or nothing. I'll happily ... MoreLavender is one of my least favorite scents and yet I REALLY love this perfume. To me, this perfume is fresh and clean but unique at the same time. It's just classy.

I’m glad that I didn’t base my opinions on others because this is far from “an old lady” scent. The main notes are white floral, vanilla and lavender etc. These can be l mature notes for some people, and it does smell differently in the bottle or on a tester stick. A person's unique body chemistry primarily explains why Libre may smell different from one to another. Smelling it and spraying it onto my wrist compared to wearing it was a completely different experience. The bottle itself is luxury and you’re guaranteed to get compliments wearing this scent. The longevity for the price point is worth it. I would recommend trying it out in the store, walking around a bit and seeing how it mixes with your chemistry. I wouldn’t recommend as a blind buy but it’s something ... MoreI’m glad that I didn’t base my opinions on others because this is far from “an old lady” scent.

It took me a while to love this scent. I purchased the travel size in the late fall early winter of 2020, just as the Covid 19 pandemic kicked into its second high gear That last is relevant as I was a nurse practitioner spending some of my work days layered in PPE behind a plexiglass wall testing people for the virus. In the rare moments where there would be a break between testing, I’d get a little breath of Libre that I’d sprayed on at 7:00 in the morning. It was calming, gave me a feeling that the world would somehow keep moving forward in spite of this virus that was creating havoc in the world. Fast forward to now, Covid is still here, I’ve retired from my career, but I’m still wearing this perfume.

It will always evoke for me those darkest of days, but also a hope and gratitude for those moments of peace in the chaos.

This was one of the first bottles I bought when I first got into the world of mens fragrances almost 4 years ago, and I still really enjoy wearing it. To me it opens light, fresh, and semisweet with prominent florals, a bit of spice, and though its not listed as a note, apple. It keeps that same general vibe throughout, but as a few hours go by the freshness fades away and this kind of creamy vanillalike sweetness from the tonka bean comes up along with some smooth woods. This stuff is great, and probably one of my better compliment getters. I also believe this is one of the most versatile fragrances on the market. I see no age that couldnt pull this off, and it works equally well for casual settings as it does for formal or professional settings. I think this would ... MoreThis was one of the first bottles I bought when I first got into the world of mens fragrances almost 4 years ago, and I still really enjoy wearing it.

Ive heard several people complain about somewhat poor longevity on this one, but on me it lasts a good 810 hours so I cant complain at all. It seems to project enough to get you noticed without being obnoxious for maybe the first half of its life, then it sits closer to the skin but I still regularly catch whiffs of it after 8 hours. All in all, its not one of my top favorites anymore, but its still amazing stuff and for what it does, I cant say anything bad about it.

A Sensual, Elegant Fragrance. (My new signature!)

Whoever formulated this perfume is a genius. It is a totally original and feminine formula that grabs your attention—but does not command the room. Excellent silage, and has staying power (which is important to me… how can anyone justify a 100$ purchase otherwise). The first notes that hit me are orange blossom, black currant, and lavender. Which is so, so, so elegant and uplifting. I love how some perfumes play into a “lightness” or “darkness” palette, but Libre is dynamic for BOTH. It may skew slightly towards a richness with the ambergris base note. So perhaps it’s technically best for autumn and winter. But it’s totally appropriate for year round. I’m a total snob since I used to work in the industry of luxury fragrance and I can’t stop smelling my clothes when ... MoreWhoever formulated this perfume is a genius.

I’ll definitely be replenishing this for years.

More mature scent not for Avery one.

Ok so after reading reviews I went to the store to smell this perfume. I liked it when I sprayed it on the sample paper and I liked it so much I went and bought a whole 3.4 oz bottle.desperately waiting for my package to arrive and when it did I opened it and quickly sprayed it on myself. “Hold on a minute” mmm.. something wasn’t right. The smell was so strong. I almost got a headache. I smelled it and smelled it until picked my daughter up from school and I could not decide if I like it or not. I went straight to returning it because I just feel like it’s a very mature scent. I have the Valentino brown in Roma and I found myself comparing the smells because they smell a little bit alike. Personally not my favorite YSL scent. I just couldn’t find something I liked ... MoreOk so after reading reviews I went to the store to smell this perfume.

Simultaneously Unique & Classic

I am an avid perfume and "fluid phase changer" 25 year old girl. This has been my favorite for just under 2 consecutive years straight- and that says a lot. Slightly complex, 8.8/10 lasting power, extravagant; subtly strong, smooth and deep in its well-claimed notes. So if you're feeling extra zesty or want to use 1 extra spritz than you normally do; say perhaps because you're going out in hot humid weather- chances are you won't smell overpowering if you enter a cool dry room 30 minutes later. It's a bright and unique smell; and makes me think of a gregarious woman who wears expensive and against-the-grain clothes that she creatively finds from thrift stores & works in competitive corporate while she's successfully building and fueling her creative entrepreneurship ... MoreI am an avid perfume and "fluid phase changer" 25 year old girl.
