Libre Flowers & Flames Yves Saint Laurent

Mostly creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full. Underneath that, sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod or custard.

It opens on lavender and bergamot, moves through orange blossom, lavender and coconut, and settles on vanilla.

• lavender: clean herbal flower, cooling and slightly soapy
• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does

It lasts well and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
