What does Libre Le Parfum smell like?

Most voters place it in fall and winter, for nights out and evenings. Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong, so it leaves a noticeable trail. Voters mostly read it as feminine, with some calling it modern or classic.

It opens with saffron, ginger, mandarin orange and Calabrian bergamot for a bright, spicy start. Lavender and orange blossom lead the heart. In the base, honey, Bourbon vanilla and tonka bean sweeten it into a creamy, gourmand warmth, while vetiver steadies the sweetness. Rabanne Olympēa Legend and Guerlain L'Instant de Guerlain (Eau de Parfum) share a close profile.
