What does Libre (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with a bright citrus lift from mandarin orange and neroli. The heart builds a floral body from French lavender, orange blossom and jasmine sambac, and the base of Bourbon vanilla, musk, cedar and ambergris softens it into a creamy sweetness.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and spring, though winter and summer have their share. It leans towards evenings and nights out, yet sits close to daily and office wear as well. Half of the voters read it as feminine.
