Libre Eau de Parfum pairs French lavender with Moroccan orange blossom, musk and warm vanilla. It's a men's fougère idea in a women's perfume: barbershop lavender, softened by orange blossom and vanilla. Libre Intense, Le Parfum, the EDT and L’Eau Nue are separate.
What Wearers Say
One owner enjoys the vanilla-and-orange-blossom drydown despite usually disliking lavender.
Another wearer likes its aromatic, sweet white-floral character for work.
One wearer finds it too powdery and sickly sweet.
Another wearer has grown tired of the original after smelling it frequently on others.
Great for
Try the original Eau de Parfum if lavender, orange blossom and warm vanilla appeal together.
Not for
Sample first if powdery sweetness or prominent lavender puts you off.
