Floral Lavender
“Libre’s lavender-and-orange-blossom confidence, lightened for summer days.”
Dossier's Floral Lavender is widely positioned as an alternative to YSL Libre (2019): neroli and blackcurrant open over lavender and orange blossom, settling on vanilla. White-floral accords lead, with lavender, citrus and vanilla. The lavender gives the florals an aromatic, slightly herbal coolness, and the neroli brightens the opening. Wears strongest in summer, versatile day-to-night.
