Libertine
7.2Vivienne Westwood · 2000
Fresh · Citrus · Floral
Vivienne Westwood Libertine is a women's scent that pairs the brightness of citrus and fruit with the green, woody feel of a chypre; it has been discontinued.
Passion fruit, grapefruit and pineapple open with a bright fruity-citrus lift. In the heart, rose, bergamot, lily of the valley and honeysuckle add a soft floral note. The base of labdanum, amber, patchouli, oakmoss and musk settles it onto an earthy, woody footing.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it makes itself known without filling the room. Most voters pick spring, summer and fall, with winter trailing behind. Daily wear, leisure and work lead the occasions. Most voters read it as feminine. Diorella and Eau de Rochas have a close profile.
