I gifted this to my wife after trying the original YSL, and she absolutely loved it. It has a strong lavender note; on my skin, it smells almost like a blend of MYLSF EDP and Le Parfum, which are essentially alternative versions of Libre (originally conceived for men). That lavender heart note works brilliantly on male skin, while the orange adds a clean, sparkling touch, and the jasmine is also present. On a woman, it feels elegant and characterful, but on a man, it’s perfect for a relaxed, informal style. In summary, it’s very similar to the original, with some nuances and slightly lower quality, yet it doesn’t feel cheap. It has good longevity and sillage, is totally unisex and versatile, except on very hot days. I’d give it a 7/10.
I gifted this to my wife after trying the original YSL, and she absolutely loved it. It has a strong lavender note; on my skin, it smells like a blend of MYLSF EDP and Le Parfum, which are essentially flankers of Libre. That lavender heart note gives it a clean, sparkling touch that works brilliantly for men looking for a relaxed vibe, while on women, it is very elegant and characterful. It’s very similar to the original, with certain caveats and slightly lower quality, yet it doesn’t feel cheap. Good longevity and sillage, perfect for any day except the hottest ones. I’d give it 7/10.
I love it. It’s identical to YSL’s Libre; I didn’t believe how similar it was. They told me it was a clone and confirmed it. The price is low and the quality is incredible. On my skin, it lasted over 12 hours, and I recommend it without hesitation; it’s impossible to disappoint. Maison Alhambra has done it again.

Yes, its resemblance to YSL’s Libre is blatant; I struggle to find any differences, and that’s wonderful. It’s a playful, feminine, elegant, and coquettish scent; when worn, it captures everyone’s attention without being off-putting. It’s a genius creation at a ridiculous price.

It’s a clone of Libre; even the name ‘Leonie’ gives it away. The resemblance is brutal, although upon drying down, the vanilla takes over and the other notes fade a bit more than in the original. The longevity is good, and, costing a fraction of the price, it’s worth every penny. Both are elegant and versatile; I don’t see them as gendered, but rather as an invitation to wear them without labels, freely.
It has a tremendous resemblance to Libre; it’s a dupe in every sense (even the name, which is now Leonie). It’s well-executed in its imitation, though the difference lies in the dry-down where vanilla predominates over the other notes, which fade considerably (this doesn’t happen with Libre), and in the longevity, which is definitely a strength of Libre. However, given how similar they are and costing a tenth of the original, I think it’s well worth it. Both are versatile and elegant; I dislike saying ‘unisex’ because it categorises them, and I believe this perfume seeks not to be categorised, but for people to feel free to enjoy and use it based on taste, not gender. That’s how I understand the concept behind its name, even though it’s declared as feminine.
