Libre Intense

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Yves Saint Laurent Libre Intense

Libre Intense is a warmer, more gourmand Libre, and our version keeps that depth: a lavender and saffron opening, a white floral heart, and a rich vanilla and amber base.

The Story Behind the Scent

Libre Intense took the bold lavender and orange blossom of the original and deepened it with saffron and a richer vanilla, making it warmer and more enveloping.

Our interpretation follows that character. We keep the lavender and saffron warm up top, let jasmine and orange blossom bloom in the middle, and finish on a deep vanilla and amber base.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original is a designer eau de parfum sold at full designer pricing. We build ours at a high perfume oil concentration and sell direct, so you get the same character for a fraction of the price.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves Libre and wants the deeper, warmer version for evenings and cooler weather.

Common Questions

How close is it to Yves Saint Laurent Libre Intense?

It stays close to the rich, warm character of the original. It is our own interpretation rather than a copy, but the impression is very familiar.

How can it cost so much less than Yves Saint Laurent Libre Intense?

Most of the price of a designer fragrance goes to the brand name, packaging and retail markup rather than the liquid itself. We put our budget into the scent and sell direct, so you get a comparable experience for a fraction of the price.

Is this the same perfume as Yves Saint Laurent Libre Intense?

No. We do not use the same formula or ingredients. It is an independent interpretation made to evoke the same style at a much lower price.

How long does it last?

You can expect several hours on skin. Spraying onto clothing as well as skin helps it last even longer.

Who is it best for?

It leans feminine and is made for evenings and cooler weather.

How should I apply it?

Spray on pulse points such as the wrists, neck and inner elbows. A light spritz on clothing makes it last through the day.
