Yves Saint Laurent Libre Intense — denser "free woman" version
Yves Saint Laurent Libre Intense is the 2020 Eau de Parfum from French luxury fashion house Yves Saint Laurent, the denser version of the Libre family. Widely searched as "YSL Libre Intense", "Libre Intense", "YSL Libre Intense perfume", in Russian "ИСЛ Либре Интенс", "Либре Интенс", "Libre Intense духи" or simply "Libre Intense". Co-signed by Anne Flipo and Carlos Benaim.
Libre Intense and the YSL women's line
YSL Libre (2019) launched with the original "free woman" concept and quickly became one of the brand's modern women's classics. Libre Intense (2020) is the "evening-denser" reading of this classic — keeping the original Libre's lavender-orange-blossom DNA but with a denser vanilla-musk-patchouli base.
The character of Libre Intense
YSL Libre Intense sits in the classic floral oriental family. Violet, blackcurrant and mandarin on the opening give an energetic start; lavender, orange blossom and jasmine sambac in the heart add denser white-floral depth; vanilla, musk, patchouli, ambrette and amber in the base create a "free-woman evening" performance denser than the original Libre. Sillage is very dense, longevity 10–12 hours.
Who is it for?
Libre Intense is ideal for a 22+ female audience. Serves a modern, magnetic, "evening free woman" image. Particularly strong on autumn-winter evenings, romantic occasions, club-bar settings, birthdays and weddings. For fans of the original YSL Libre it's "an evening reading"; for fans of denser women's fragrances (e.g. Lattafa Khamrah) a more "balanced" alternative.
