L’Homme Libre

L’Homme Libre, a Fresh Aromatic Woody

Yves Saint Laurent L’Homme Libre is a fresh aromatic woody. Our version keeps that feel, opening with bergamot and basil before a violet leaf and pink pepper heart settles over cedarwood and amber.

The Story Behind the Scent

Yves Saint Laurent built L’Homme Libre as a fresh, clean scent, all bright bergamot and green basil over smooth cedar and warm amber. The idea was an easygoing, confident masculinity.

That fresh cleanness is its appeal. The bergamot and basil keep it bright and green, the violet leaf and pink pepper add a soft, spicy heart, and the cedarwood and amber give it a smooth, warm base. Our interpretation follows that same confident path.
