Libre Le Parfum

Yves Saint Laurent presented Libre Le Parfum in 2022 as the Libre signature taken to its highest degree of intensity. Launched in 2019 with Libre Eau de Parfum, the line gained a version the house calls the most concentrated in its collection, lifted by a saffron accord.

The saffron of Ourika

This accord, developed exclusively for the house, comes from the Ourika community gardens in Morocco, linked to Yves Saint Laurent Beauté. It was captured by headspace, a technique that records the scent of a living flower, as a tribute to the “fleur de feu” dear to Yves Saint Laurent.

Anne Flipo and Carlos Benaïm, IFF perfumers and authors of the line, take up the tension at the core of Libre, between a fresh lavender from France and orange blossom absolute from Morocco, reinterpreted this time in a spicy register.

A growing line

Libre Le Parfum joins Libre Eau de Parfum Intense, enriched with an orchid accord, among the richer interpretations of Libre. The house intends it for those who dare to turn up the heat and fully embrace their power, like Dua Lipa, its ambassador.

Announced in the United States at the end of August 2022, Libre Le Parfum went on sale in mid-September. It takes its place alongside the line’s Eau de Parfum, Eau de Parfum Intense and Eau de Toilette.
