Yves Saint Laurent Libre EDP For Women Review - Boldness and Confidence
Yves Saint Laurent created this fragrance because they wanted something that was different from everything else available at the time. They felt like the perfume industry had become too commercialized and needed a change in order to create something unique.
That's why they decided to take a risk by creating one of their most popular scents called YSL Libre. In doing so, they hoped to bring more individuality back into the world of perfumery.
What Does Yves Saint Laurent Libre EDP For Women Smell Like
When you spray YSL Libre on your skin, you are immediately greeted with top notes of Lavender, Mandarin Orange, Black Currant, and Petitgrain; middle notes are Lavender, Orange Blossom, and Jasmine; base notes are Madagascar Vanilla, Musk, Cedar and Ambergris.
This combination of notes creates a beautiful smell that is feminine yet powerful. There are many people who describe it as having a woody/floral scent mixed with citrus notes. Others have described it as floral, fruity or even gourmand-like in some cases.
Whatever way you choose to describe the fragrance, it always seems to end up being perfect for anyone wearing it. As soon as you open the bottle, the fragrance is almost overwhelming—but only for about three seconds before the fragrance settles down.
Even though it may seem strong right away, it doesn't linger long after application either; it is definitely a light scent that won't overpower others. Some people find it difficult to pinpoint exactly what the fragrance reminds them of, but it usually ends up being compared to things like flowers or fruits.
Many people say that the fragrance brings to mind exotic locations such as Hawaii or Thailand. One thing is for certain though: everyone agrees that the fragrance is absolutely gorgeous. When sprayed onto someone's body, it gives off a warm feeling while still remaining elegant and classy.
Projection
YSL Libre is known for having a pretty strong projection; however, it isn't nearly as strong as it was when it first came out. Back then, it could be smelled from several meters away.
Nowadays, you need to be closer than 1 meter in order to smell it—but the intensity is still quite high. Even though this might sound disappointing, it actually works well for many situations since people aren't going to notice you unless you're close by anyway.
Of course, if you prefer stronger scents, then this one probably wouldn't be ideal for you. However, it is perfect for someone who wants to stand out without standing too far out. If you like to wear subtle scents, then this would be a great option for you.
When To Wear Yves Saint Laurent Libre EDP For Women
YSL Libre is meant to be worn year round; however, it is better suited for warmer weather seasons (i.e., summer). Since the fragrance is lighter than most other scents on the market today, it's important to keep in mind that it can easily wash off of your skin if you happen to sweat a lot or if your body temperature fluctuates too much. This is why it's best to apply it during cooler times of the day—when your body isn't producing as much heat.
