Bought it because YSL Libre smells like a man; I don’t get why some girls like it, but to me, that’s how a man should smell. I noticed that if you don’t like Libre, this one has less lavender and is less potent, though a bit powdery. That’s why I layer it with a citrus because on its own it doesn’t work for me—it just turns masculine to my nose, just like Libre does. It lasts a long time, projects for about 6 hours, and the best part is it’s not as invasive as Libre; it’s soft but noticeable. I love trails that fill spaces without suffocating. I layer it with a bit of tangerine or apple and it becomes less powdery and fresher instead. ☺️
It’s a great inspiration for YSL Libre; the alcohol opening lasts only seconds before settling into a delicious scent. For the price, the performance is excellent. Both Libre and this one have a soft character that lasts about 6 hours. I’ve already gotten compliments—it’s perfect for the heat here in Chile, wonderfully rich for 30°C, haha. At an excellent price, keep that in mind!
This scent is a great inspiration for YSL Libre. It starts with a brief alcohol note that fades quickly, leaving behind a smell that, for the price, offers excellent performance. Both Libre and this one have a soft character that lasts about 6 hours. I’ve already received compliments because it’s perfect for the heat here in Chile; delicious for 30°C, haha. At an excellent price, watch out for that!
At $6, it’s so good! It smells very similar to Libre and lasts about 3-4 hours. ❤️
