Celebrity-Adored French Perfume Trending on TikTok Has a Luxurious Scent

Perfume has always fascinated me. I could endlessly chat about it with friends and family, asking them about their favorite scents. As a beauty editor, discovering and sharing the most-loved fragrances, alongside my own recommendations, brings me immense joy. Recently, a particular perfume caught my attention on social media, prompting me to reach out to my team for their thoughts. To no surprise, it turned out to be my editor’s favorite fragrance as well—YSL Libre.

YSL Libre is a beloved fragrance among influencers, TikTokers, beauty editors, and celebrities, with Dua Lipa being the face of the perfume since 2019. The YSL bottle not only looks exquisite on display, but its concoction of sensual notes creates an expensive-smelling aura, making it easy to understand its popularity.

Let’s delve into the fragrance’s details. YSL Libre combines typically masculine and feminine notes to create a distinctive finish. The heart of the scent is composed of sensual orange blossom and rich, bold lavender, complemented by hints of vanilla and musk which lend a warm, slightly sweet edge. It’s a beautifully balanced, luxurious fragrance.

This perfume’s popularity has led to the development of five different fragrances in the Libre collection. For those who prefer a light, fresh scent, the Libre Eau De Toilette is recommended. On the other hand, the Libre Eau De Parfum Intense is perfect for a more statement fragrance. Who What Wear UK’s deputy editor, Maxine Eggenberger, is an ardent fan of Libre Eau De Parfum Intense.

Maxine shared, “I rarely indulge in a new perfume, but one day, on a whim, I decided to try YSL Libre at a local perfume counter. The moment I applied it to my wrists, I was captivated. This was a spontaneous purchase for me, but its warm, sultry notes of vanilla, tonka bean, amber, and mandarin among others, transported me to an after-dark Parisian jazz club.”

She continued, “The first week of wearing it, I received numerous compliments. It’s undoubtedly a crowd-pleaser. My mum even ordered it immediately after trying a spritz of mine. The sweetness is not overwhelming but just enough to feel decadent.”

Longevity is a crucial factor when investing in a perfume. The lasting power of YSL Libre is impressive, as evidenced by numerous customer reviews. One customer mentioned, “Loved it so much that it was one of my wedding perfumes, so I had to restock! It’s a very sexy, evening, and ultra-long-wearing scent.” Another added, “My clothes smell great for days, and I get many compliments.”

The packaging of YSL Libre deserves special mention. Encased in a clear bottle with a chic black lid, and adorned with the iconic gold YSL logo, this perfume looks luxurious and elegant on display. The bottle is also refillable, which adds an eco-friendly aspect to this opulent product.
