Description

Lavender usually shows up in men’s perfumes, not women’s. YSL put it right next to orange blossom here, and neither one gives way to the other. Mandarin and black currant open things up, then that lavender-orange blossom combo takes over the middle. Vanilla and musk warm it up at the end. Anne Flipo and Carlos Benaïm made this in 2019, and it still stands out from most florals on the market. Look up YSL Libre online and you’ll see people are still talking about it.

Tips for Best Experience

If you’re used to sweeter florals, wear this one a full day before deciding — the lavender-forward opening can feel unexpected at first spray.
