Yves Saint Laurent Libre Eau de Parfum Intense
Fiery French lavender, sensual orange blossom, and an exotic orchid accord wrapped in a lavish overdose of bourbon vanilla: modern feminine power distilled.
Crafted in 2020 by master perfumers Anne Flipo and Carlos Benaïm, Libre Eau de Parfum Intense pushes the boundaries between masculine structure and feminine sensuality. Opening with bright Sicilian mandarin and French lavender, the fragrance quickly transitions into a lush floral heart of Moroccan orange blossom, jasmine sambac, and a living orchid accord. The drydown reveals its true magnificence: an intoxicating blend of Madagascar bourbon vanilla, tonka bean, and warm ambergris, delivering exceptional sillage and unforgettable warmth.
