Yves Saint Laurent Libre Intense Eau de Parfum

A fiery floral intensity for a woman with a roaring spirit who lives by her instincts.

THE STORY
The FREE woman unleashes her most fiery instincts. Bold and daring, she draws from deep within herself a powerful, subversive force to proclaim her freedom—a fiery freedom. Uncompromising. Boundless. A fragrance like a cry for freedom—the freedom to live life to the fullest. To live it intensely.

THE BOTTLE
The LIBRE Intense Eau de Parfum, now refillable, is encased in a couture bottle that reflects the fragrance’s tension between the masculine and the feminine. A rigorous geometric silhouette, like a tuxedo. Gold chains and an asymmetrical lacquered black cap. An oversized Cassandre—the brand’s iconic logo—that breaks the mold and bites into the glass. An icon, enhanced by a fawn-colored fragrance that reveals all its shades of gold and fire.

YSL Beauté is committed to reducing its environmental impact. Refilling the LIBRE Eau de Parfum Intense bottle helps save up to 58%* of glass, 100%* of metal, 59%* of plastic, and 42%* of paper. The 100 ml refill bottle for LIBRE Eau de Parfum Intense is compatible with the 10 ml, 30 ml, 50 ml, and 90 ml sizes of LIBRE Eau de Parfum Intense, which are marked “refillable” on the packaging.

Refill your Eau de Parfum Intense at home in three simple steps:
1. When your LIBRE bottle is empty, remove the cap and unscrew the pump.
2. Insert your refill bottle and screw it onto the neck of your bottle, then set the refill cap to the “ON” position. Wait for the refill to stop automatically.
3. Set the refill cap to the “OFF” position, and remove your refill bottle.

THE SENSE OF SMELL
Created by Master Perfumers Anne Flipo and Carlos Benaïm, LIBRE Eau de Parfum Intense by Yves Saint Laurent reveals a new facet of freedom. A smooth and passionate reinterpretation of LIBRE’s iconic structure. The tension between the boldness of French lavender and the fiery sensuality of Moroccan orange blossom is intensified by an incandescent Wild Orchid. The orchid’s subtle vanilla and creamy notes set the floral heart ablaze, creating an intense and incendiary trail. “A more sensual, assertive, and fearless version,” says Anne Flipo, master perfumer at IFF. The lavender flowers used in Cœur de Lavande Diva are hand-harvested in Provence and steam-distilled to preserve only the essential oil. The orange blossom, meanwhile, is harvested by women in the Rabat-Salé-Kénitra region of Morocco, where traditional craftsmanship is preserved. Once harvested, only the richest fractions of the absolute are selected for this exceptional fragrance: LIBRE by Yves Saint Laurent.
