Libre Intense, the new eau de parfum from Yves Saint-Laurent Libre: this word has always resonated as self-evident for the designer Yves Saint-Laurent. Indeed, his immense talent has always been associated with a significant measure of audacity and provocation.
In 2019, the house Yves Saint-Laurent gave birth to a feminine Eau de Toilette named Libre. As its name suggests, this perfume is a symbol of emancipation aimed at all those who are not afraid to live as they see fit, without compromise. In his time, Yves Saint-Laurent said: I am aware of having advanced fashion and of having allowed women access to a world that was previously forbidden. Now, it is precisely this same philosophy that is found in this fragrance. Today, for a more carnal rendering, Libre becomes a suave and sultry Eau de Parfum. But then, what about the bottle enclosing this generous floral bouquet?
The Cassandre of Yves Saint-Laurent, the central piece of the Libre Eau de Parfum bottle
Libre Eau de Parfum comes in a bottle that is a true technological feat. Luxurious and endowed with a geometric silhouette, it is above all dominated by the imposing Yves Saint-Laurent logo, a Golden Cassandre here perfectly hugging its walls. Indeed, the house's logo is curved to form a right angle. Thus, it is attached to two sides of this bottle. Even better, it appears as if nailed directly into the glass. The neckline of the Y of Yves Saint-Laurent is moreover further highlighted by a V cut directly into its walls. All this only gives a sexier side to this visual, without taking anything away from its refinement.
Gold, the ever-present color of the Yves Saint-Laurent bottle
Generally speaking, the visual of Libre Eau de Parfum is very close to that of the previous 2019 feminine Eau de Toilette Libre. However, the juice contained in this bottle is now more amber and darker. Similar to honey or molten gold, it seems to burn with an inner fire. What is more, it displays perfect harmony with the rest of this visual. Indeed, gold details appear on all sides of this bottle. Of course, a gold lacquer covers the Yves Saint-Laurent Cassandre. However, this is not the only element brought to light. A small gold chain also embellishes the neck of this bottle, for an infinitely couture rendering.
Libre Eau de Parfum, a contrasted bottle
Let us also note that this bottle dares certain contrasts. On one side, its glass base relies on absolute transparency. Thus, Libre Eau de Parfum comes to us in a cube with thick walls, a guarantee of refinement and elegance. However, this crystalline transparency faces a completely black and opaque cap. Here, femininity and masculinity become one. The asymmetrical shape of this cap, meanwhile, evokes the look of a slit skirt that reveals a glimpse of leg with sensuality. Despite these apparent contrasts, the harmony is perfect and the magic works. The bottle of Libre Eau de Parfum is a perfect alliance between metal, glass, and perfume. It comes in three spray bottles of different sizes, 30, 50, or 90 ml.
