Libre Intense Yves Saint Laurent

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

It opens on lavender, mandarin orange and bergamot, moves through lavender, tunisian orange blossom and jasmine sambac, and settles on madagascar vanilla, tonka bean and ambergris.

• lavender: clean herbal flower, cooling and slightly soapy
• mandarin orange: sweet, soft citrus. Gentler and less biting than lemon

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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