I never write negative reviews, but I think we need to talk about this perfume and criticise it a bit. What comes to mind is this image: all the women’s perfumes in the world crammed into one bottle, and that’s not a good thing. It’s the sugared, idealistic illusion of what a woman is, embracing and accepting her ‘nature’—seductive, feminine, compliant, reductionist, and self-flagellating (because to the nose it’s a torture)—her extreme need to file down her silhouette to fit beautifully into the concept of femininity. It’s a scent that generates no emotions in me, takes me nowhere, offers no fantasy, no comfort, no pleasure. It hasn’t been able to touch any fibre in me (and in many others). More than ‘FREE’, I believe it’s a scent caged in the terrible curse of women’s and men’s perfumes: they are made to satisfy certain collective fantasies of beauty and attractiveness rather than please their users. I think women are conditioned to think of these scents as pleasant and desirable. As for its aroma: it’s a nightmare that repeats in different forms and moments of life; it’s candied vanilla in acrylic and silicone, the orange blossom would be a bitter oil mixed with some kind of industrial chemical, its white florals are preserved in some kind of aromatic liquid, and the lavender struggles to escape through one of those holes left in this terrible jungle of notes that are having a pitched battle over which takes the lead. I can’t say it wasn’t made with love because I know nothing about that, but it’s a totally cold, unfamiliar, aggressive, plastified, and nauseating scent.
To my personal taste, it’s super rich with tremendous sillage, lasting on my skin for about 6 or 7 hours. Super soft; you can wear it all day smelling like jasmine and also like a baby. I love it! I have it in my favourites!!
I have samples of both EDT and EDP. The EDP seems very similar to the EDT, just a bit sweeter to me. It makes me feel sick and gives me a headache. What I perceive most is the vanilla and lavender. I see it as unisex with good projection.
Smells like a lady.
This perfume did nothing for me; it seemed so boring I couldn’t understand how so many people could like it. After multiple failed attempts to win it over, one day I tried it for the thousandth time in the shopping centre and puff, as if something unlocked in me, I could perceive it as beautiful 🥹✨. Since then, it’s become my obsession and one of my favourites. They say it doesn’t please everyone at first impression, and that was totally my case. It’s fresh, elegant, clean, a real treat. In short, give it a second or third chance.
It reminds me a bit of Ésika’s Grazzia Paradise, that discontinued perfume. It’s very clean and wearable. Perhaps a very young person might not like it, so I recommend trying it first. Basically, it’s white florals, smelling like soap.
At first, the white florals come out more. Once it dries down, it smells sweet: vanilla with a hint of incense and lavender.
It didn’t blow my mind or give me a sense of freedom. But everything is subjective when it comes to smell; sensations are intransferible and depend on how the perfume marries with your skin. I’d define it as a lavandin with a touch of white florals that sound a bit artificial to me. Nothing special… feminine, yes, but simply ‘pleasant’. I insist: this is ‘MY’ perception, what it reveals on my skin. I love Dua Lipa; the campaign is excellent.
Love at first sight. That blend of lavender and vanilla is the hook. It lasts a few hours on my skin, though it still projects and is noticeable from a distance. It clings to clothes and makes a perfect gift if you like this style; I’ve even received compliments, especially from girls. I simply adore it! Scent: 9.5/10 Longevity: 9.3/10
The mandarin note didn’t sit well with me. Upon smelling it, it hit my nose too hard.
Very long-lasting on the skin, but it doesn’t leave a trail; no one notices you’re wearing it.
I went to try it and my boyfriend gave it a 7.25. He says the floral touch is very noticeable. To me it smells like an elegant woman, although I’m not sure if it’s entirely suitable for my age… I’m in my twenties.
I’d describe it as elegant. I detect the lavender, mandarin and white flowers very clearly. I don’t detect the vanilla. I don’t think it’s youthful; the trail is very low, basically you only smell it for the first hour and afterwards it leaves a skin scent or as if someone gave you a hug. I also think it’s quite unisex and pretty.
Lavender, lavender and more lavender. I love it, but I agree it could pass as unisex. To me it seems a sophisticated floral and slightly sweet.
To me it’s unisex, even with more masculine character. I don’t like lavender, but I recognise it’s well combined; I don’t love it, but I could wear it if it’s in just the right measure and doesn’t bother others. I see it more for cold weather, more nocturnal than diurnal to my taste.
Writing reviews on Fragrantica often brings nothing but thumbs down, especially for best-sellers. It shouldn’t be like that, and certainly not if the notes are well-argued and don’t sound like insults. Yet there are people who criticise their favourite perfume as if you’d stolen from an elderly lady or kicked their dog, filling comments with stars and donkeys until the review disappears. What can you do? Knowing this, I’ll be less than positive about the perfume voted best in 2024 here. I find Libre vulgar. That’s the gist. It tells me nothing; I’ve heard such fragrances in the supermarket, not in high perfumery. I have nothing against low-end scents; in fact, I love them and have classics like Eau Jeune or Herbíssimo Cedro in my daily routine. But what I dislike is being sold 30ml of a mediocre aroma for 50 euros. Don’t throw that bone to another dog. It’s industrial lavender coated in musky vanilla, perhaps to make it more ‘drinkable’. The white flowers are boring, orange blossom is the only standout, and the citrus notes are faded. It’s super versatile, for men, women, Martians… anyone can wear it, but it conveys nothing, it’s just a juice that smells nice and you forget it in five seconds. Why? Because Libre is banal and insipid. It doesn’t bother, it lasts long and is pleasant, but it has the personality of an air freshener. If selling this mediocrity is so profitable, the industry has little incentive to create something better.
I’m surprised no one notices it’s identical to Prada L’Homme, one of my favourites and totally unisex. The way it floats in the air is exactly the same. I could buy this instead of Prada, especially given the price and because it’s hard to find.
It’s nice, but Zara’s Golden Decade smells the same and costs much less. I like the scent, but I won’t be buying it again.
I love this, I hope it never runs out! At first it smells incredibly cheap, like something you’d wear to pick someone up on a Friday night before going out dancing. But within five minutes it transforms and gets better. I don’t know why, perhaps because it just stops smelling ‘cheap’. It’s not my usual style, but it makes me feel beautiful thanks to the compliments I receive, and I adore that.
Smells luxurious and classy. At first spray it’s unisex, with a touch of lavender in the middle that balances it out. Once it dries down it becomes slightly sweet, but be warned: it’s not that cloying gourmand sweetness we’re all tired of. It’s not the most feminine option if that’s what you’re looking for. I love it for daytime, though it could work at night too. It’s super versatile, except in extreme heat, but for the rest of the year it’s a real treat.
I’m super under the weather; the only thing I picked up was fresh, slightly creamy, and smelling of Rinso detergent. I don’t understand the hype. I’ll wait until I’m better to smell it again.
Very long-lasting, it doesn’t betray you. If you like the opening, that’s what it will stay like, almost identical. A clean fragrance.
Unexpected elegance. I bought it blindly by Juan López Becerril and he got it right again. Libre opens with soft, non-overpowering lavender, mixed with bigarade blossom and bitter mandarin peel, very sophisticated. The jasmine adds a refined floral touch. As it dries down, the musk gives that clean note with an almost imperceptible whisper of vanilla. It’s unisex and perfect for the office. If you want to smell different and surprise, this is one of those. Singular and distinctive from Tom Ford. Note: 9/10.
Sweet but not gourmand, it’s elegant. I see it for over-25s at formal events. It makes me think of a mature, determined woman. Sometimes I wear it and say it doesn’t fit the office vibe; it’s for something more.
I get the feeling that anyone who wants to smell rich automatically thinks of this; it’s elegant without being cloying. It gives me a sense of calm. What I detect most is lavender with a hint of countryside or woods.
You can tell there’s lavender; it’s a mature, soft, and elegant aroma. It smells clean and well-balanced at the same time.
Very boring, I’m fed up with it. It gave me nothing; I felt insipid, blending in like a beige stain. Plus, so many people wear it that there’s nothing to set you apart.
I like it and I don’t. It smells of mandarin and orange blossom, which I enjoy, but it has that old-fashioned, almost vintage feel, like a classic perfume that isn’t currently in vogue. It doesn’t evolve much; the opening is the same as the dry-down, just softened. It confuses me between the fresh citrus and that classic scent.
Everyone recommended it to death, but when I tested it on blotter paper, I was hugely disappointed. I was looking for lavender, something different, but the citrus notes suffocated me. Perhaps it works on skin, but on paper it’s a definite no for me.
I like it; it’s elegant. Not for everyday wear, but certainly for a special occasion or a gathering.
It’s a slightly sweet fragrance, but its jasmine and lavender notes really stand out. It lasts about five hours. It’s a toilet water and I recommend it: it’s the scent of an elegant, well-mannered, radiant woman who leaves a mark, who falls and rises a thousand times. That is her aroma.
I was at the gym when a girl two metres away took off her hoodie, and a rich wave hit me that reminded me of Myslf (the perfume I wear). I couldn’t resist the curiosity and asked what she was using; she said it was this one. Excellent for women, for all ages and for any occasion, in my opinion 👌🏼
It’s a delicate fragrance. I bought it blindly based on the notes to vary my routine, as I always use L’Interdit. I must say that Libre isn’t my style; I’m not a fan of this scent. Perhaps it is elegant and versatile, but it is extremely linear, with a vintage aroma, somewhat dull… For me, the trail is low; no matter how much I spray it, yet it lasts several hours (I imagine mainly on clothes), as I occasionally catch a whiff during the day.
You can feel the lavender at full strength. It’s a very sophisticated lavender, like a lavender floor cleaner (in a good way; it’s an expensive one), with lots of white florals and a hint of vanilla. I recommend it 👍🏻
I liked Libre from the start. It’s brilliant, a little provocative, sensual, bold, and magnetic. Definitely for those who enjoy being at the centre, shining and conquering with independence and charisma. For the compliments, this perfume takes first place, among both men and women. The longevity and trail are excellent.
Absolutely dreadful and a class act; it smells synthetic. I can’t stand those plastic white flowers, and the vanilla tastes cheap, smelling like an annoying air freshener. I don’t know how anyone can like it. I rarely write negative reviews unless the perfume is truly dreadful.
Exquisite, elegant, and as feminine as it gets. It’s not tiring; it’s sweet without being cloying and floral without being overwhelming… It’s perfect. If you prefer something sweeter, go for the Intense version.
Ugh, what a delight! It stays beautifully on my skin. With all this heat and humidity today, I applied it early and I can still smell it. It doesn’t smell masculine at all; it’s super feminine and fits that advertising image of a free, empowered woman perfectly. In enclosed spaces, it’s not cloying or nauseating; it smells fresh. I have the 30ml bottle and if it runs out, I’ll buy the larger one. I love it; I want it to be eternal. 💜 Datazo: I’m a Virgo; they say our essence is lavender, it suits me wonderfully and is very relaxing.
Absolutely masculine. Lavander rules over everything else. Just remembering it puts me in a bad mood.
If it lasted longer, I’d buy it instantly, but it fades within four hours.
