Yves Saint Laurent Libre Flowers & Flames

2024

“Libre in holiday mode — coconut and sunshine for the long weekend that finally arrived.”

Libre Flowers & Flames
white floral
vanilla
citrus

A 2024 flanker to YSL's 2019 Libre, adding coconut to the line's lavender and orange blossom core over a vanilla base. White-floral accords lead, with vanilla, citrus and a sunny coconut facet. Where the original leans on lavender and vanilla, this edition adds a creamy, tropical softness to the florals, giving a warmer, sunnier profile. Versatile across seasons, leaning daytime.
