Libre Yves Saint Laurent

Mostly creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full. Underneath that, bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel.

It opens on lavender, mandarin orange and black currant, moves through lavender, orange blossom and jasmine, and settles on madagascar vanilla, musk and cedar.

• 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.
