Yves Saint Laurent Libre L'Absolu Platine 90ml Spray Basic Essentiel Fierce opens with a burst

Fierce opens with a burst of citrus — lemon and grapefruit — before settling into warm amber and cedarwood

The opening's bright—almost peppery—then settles into creamy white florals that smell like skin rather than perfume bottle

Three sprays from the main bottle carry through the day without needing reapplication unless you're doing a twelve-hour shift

before the rest of your face decides to join in

Yves Saint Laurent Libre L'Absolu Platine 90ml Spray Basic Essentiel Fierce opens with a burstLavender and orange blossom open sharp and clean, then a base of vanilla and musk settles in for the long haul. Platine is the cooler, less sugary sibling to the original Libre still a skin scent, still impossible to ignore, but trading warmth for a kind of frosted clarity. 90ml EDP. Four to five hours on skin, longer on clothes. Two sprays is the sensible amount; three if you want people remembering you after you've left the room.
