Libre EDP

From £3.49

Description

Libre sample by Yves Saint Laurent introduces a bold floral eau de parfum that contrasts aromatic lavender with radiant orange blossom and warm vanilla. Created by master perfumers Anne Flipo and Carlos Benaïm, this women’s fragrance expresses the freedom and individuality behind its name. Its combination of fresh aromatics, rich flowers and soft musk creates an elegant scent with a confident character.

The opening brings together tangerine, neroli and French lavender, pairing citrus brightness with a distinctive herbal freshness. Lavender gives the composition an aromatic edge, setting the stage for the fuller floral notes at its heart. This lively introduction balances freshness with the promise of warmth beneath.

Moroccan orange blossom takes centre stage alongside jasmine sambac, forming a luminous, sensual bouquet. The flowers soften the lavender’s aromatic character while retaining the contrast that defines Libre. As the fragrance settles, vanilla extract adds a smooth sweetness, complemented by white musks that lend a soft, enveloping finish.

Balancing polished florals with comforting warmth, Libre suits both daytime wear and evenings, making it a versatile option for a signature scent. This Yves Saint Laurent eau de parfum sample lets you experience its citrus opening, floral heart and musky vanilla base before choosing a full bottle.

About brand
Yves Saint Laurent is the French fashion house founded by Yves Henri Donat Mathieu-Saint-Laurent. The house and designer are often abbreviated as YSL. Laurent’s career in fashion began at the tender age of 17, when he served as assistant to Christian Dior. With Dior’s death four years later, Laurent was named head of the house of Dior at just 21 years of age. Still a young man when the Algerian War of Independence broke out, Laurent was drafted into the army in 1960 and lost his position at Dior. Military service and despair over the loss of his design position resulted in a hospital stay. After a brief period of recuperation, Laurent started his own fashion company and went on to become one of the most influential fashion designers of the 1960s and 1970s. Cosmetics and perfumes have long been included in the designer’s offerings. The house’s first fragrance, Y for women, was launched in 1964. Y and several other launches by YSL, including Rive Gauche (1970), Opium (1977), men’s scent Kourous (1981), and Paris (1983) have become modern classics of the perfume world and remain best-sellers. The company continues to earn new fans with contemporary releases such as Baby Doll (2000), Elle (2007) and La Nuit de l’Homme (2009).
