Libre Intense Yves Saint Laurent for women

Such a gorgeous grown woman scent ughhh. Perfect when it’s cooler so autumn winter or on a night date. I loved loved loved this. Would defo repurchase. Great longevity as well! Could smell it throughout the day

Coworker's favorite scent. An abhorrent cloying vanilla-white flower note, but if you want a strong sillage this is the way to go. She sprays it liberally and you can smell her a mile away. Some people said the smell gives them headaches, but unfortunately it did not give me one. Otherwise I'd have a decent chance to petition HR. Sadly, bad taste in perfume is not actionable, though I sometimes wish it is.

My all time favorite, I absolutely adore this perfume. So addictive and intoxicating!!!

Selling a 90ml bottle, sprayed once! Pm if interested, Eu only

I really don't care for this scent on myself or on others. It's one of those "perfumey" perfumes that simultaneously overwhelms me yet doesn't really stand out to me. It's not a scent that makes me think, "Wow, this person smells incredible." It's a scent that makes me think, "Wow, this person smells like perfume." It's loud, cloying and reminds me of any non-descript, yet heavy, warm floral perfume from the 90's.. it just feels sort of dated.

I can see where some would maybe find this alluring and sexy but it's definitely not my personal brand of sexy.

I adore Libre intense. My husband loves it too. He commented today that it shares something with the notes in his Valentino born in Roma coral fantasy, which I love with that tobacco note. It’s the lavender. Although some say it has a masculine note with the lavender I only get a clean fresh feminine scent. I love the lavender combined with vanilla. I also have the libre edp for when I’m in the mood for less sweetness and a more fresh clean linen smell. This perfume is definitely signature scent worthy.

This to me is the most romantic of all the Libre flankers and to my partner he finds it the Sexiest, that's what the Ambergris note does it acts like a natural pheromone and it enhances the surrounding notes which is why I suspect most females find this masculine leaning, the nose not being accustomed to this particular scent. It brings depth to the orange blossom and the Vanilla here smells bourbon-y, thick and stronger than the other libres at least on my skin. The jasmine adds an attracting facet and the orange blossom in this brew is nearly identical to the orange blossom note in poeme tho poeme smells nothing like libre intense. My favorite flanker of this line will always be Platine but Libre intense and Libre partum are both runner ups.

I love this one. I personally find it great for all year and it gives rich boss lady vibes. I pair this with the original sol de janerio and oh my gosh😍😍

como disfruto con este perfume ,una delicia . Es uno de mis mas halagados .

After the first half an hour it just makes me smell like I've used vanilla body cream and lavender fabric conditioner/ironing water. Pleasant enough but I won't buy more when I've used this travel spray. I'm really confused by the reviews saying it's cloying and overwhelming.

Sooo many compliments received when wearing this and this is my favourite out of all the flankers. I actually think it would be a great unisex fragrance.

This is one of those perfumes I adore, just not on me.
When someone else is wearing Libre, I love the warmth, depth, vanilla, lavender coziness it gives off.
However, on my skin, it’s migraine in a bottle. Hate it, have to wash it off.

powdery - floral with tonka sweetness in it. more feminine version of libre line cuz of dose of vanilla and tonka. kind of everyone can like, you can getting compliment easily when you're wearing that.

As a guy I'd wear this myself! Simply too damn good!

I am a big fan of YSL's black opium eau de parfum. I blind bought this purely based on the word 'vanilla'. I remember first time I smelt this thinking I didn't think how far away from black opium I could get until now. This is a true rich lady perfume. Not at all the sweet, sugary gourmand vanilla I usually go for. More woody and citrusy however does lie on skin as a dark vanilla. The main reason I haven't gave up on this is due to the performance. I get a full 8 hour + wear out of this and get compliments saying I smell 'expensive'. Easily my longest lasting perfume. And for that I give it a love.

This is so good, but not my style

I have sooo many memories with this scent. I wanted a “big girl” perfume after my 22nd birthday, and I blind bought this one after reading a lot of positive reviews. I fell in love with the powdery vanilla/tonka in the dry down and put a dent in my 30 ml bottle within a few weeks. You have to have a certain level of confidence to pull this off, it’s very loud and sexy and men go crazy for it. I was complimented by a man 6 hours after application, so the longevity & projection are insane. I wear it in all seasons, in the summertime I only spray my skin to make sure I don’t choke people around me, and in the winter I spray my clothes & my skin. It’s very unisex and alllllllmost masculine, so I layer it with a vanilla centered fragrance to add a feminine touch. I couldn’t recommend it more and I plan on repurchasing after I run out of my small bottle.

Feminine counterpart to Dior homme intense. Now I can stop wearing hubby's Dior homme intense. Sweetened lavender 💜

My favorite going out or date night fragrance. She makes me feel grown & seductive! It reminds me of root beer a little bit, but the lavender & vanilla in this is so good.

My signature perfume. It smells different from the generic ysl libre. This is a much more unique and sexy version of it. Definitely gives the mysterious and dark girl vibe. Suitable for women in early 20s. Although not eternal, the longevity is pretty good.

A compliment magnet! I dislike lavender in fragrances so I was pleasantly surprised when I fell in love with this one. A great date night perfume with good projection and longevity. I wasn't wild about the regular libre but love the libre intense. Great year round fragrance. The only time this might be too heavy is during the summer.

Citrus and white florals always react strongly on my skin and this is no exception. It's lovely but on first spritz I'm getting Tempfluo. It's bright, a bit tangy, fragrant. Really quite lovely but identical to Tempfluo although with much better performance. I get a slight whiff of lavender but not really. The tonka and vanilla take a very long time to appear but when they do it's lovely and soft. This performs really well and you do not want to over spray!

So creamy so yummy perfume. It is just perfect, sweet but not to sweet, there is lavender but it is not too dominant. What I love the most about it is creamy feel on my skin.

this seems to be a very highly rated perfume but I just can’t get behind it, the opening is too strong and cloying and definitely much older lady scent (im in my 20’s) :/

This is beautiful outdoors in fresh air and indoors it’s a scrubber. This makes me so confused. 😱🤯

My favorite vanilla fragrance in my collection.
It's a very pretty and sophisticated. Powdery but also a bit spicy. It's fresh and invigorating when you first spray it,
then it dries down to a sweet vanilla but the lavender balances it out and makes it more mature. The sweetness is not too much.
It can be a bit headache-inducing at first because this is a very potent perfume that lasts for a long time so definitely don't overspray it.
The downside is there is this note in the background that smells kinda bitter and off-putting but only if I smell it up close, maybe it's the ambergris? Not sure, but it's strange

The opening is very lavender heavy which usually I hate but it works in this for some reason. It dries into a beautiful sexy slightly floral vanilla. It's not a juvenile scent at all, and it's very easy to overspray with this so be careful. This is a night time fragrance that I find men really like as well. I MUCH prefer this to the original Libre, I don't think they smell similar at all. The dry down on this is simply stunning, such a beautiful sexy going out scent

Warmer and more enveloping than the classic Libre. Sweeter and sunnier, with a slight hint of classical elegance.

My first big girl perfume. It still holds a place in my heart, but I have indeed moved on for the better.

This scent is so boring. It's the most generic scent I've ever smelled. It does not help that I smelled it on the biggest pick me basic girl in the office but I think the lavender completely turned it into a ... calming lavender oil for grannies?

The best from the Libre range imho.
The lavender and jasmine are not obnoxious and the orange blossom is thankfully not headache inducing.
It's sweet, warm and enticing. More suited to evening wear/date night and colder weather.
An easy reach, but not office friendly. I think it could be too cloying for those around you in an enclosed space.
Performance is beastly. No more than two sprays will last you 12+ hours.
I also love the bottle design. It looks incredibly classy.

I heard Bath and Body Works Fairytale was a dupe of Libre. But trying the regular Libre and the Intense, they're both much more floral and much less fruity. I actually didn't get any fruit notes with either one. It's a nice enough perfume but not my taste at all.

The drydown reminds me of Hypnotic Poison EDT. This is everything I wanted HP to be, fantastic sillage and longevity. Somewhat fresh for summer nights and cozy and enveloping for winter days. IN LOVE.

Am I the only person that finds this perfume to be oh so generic? It's a safe everyday perfume that doesn't smell special AT ALL. I don't get the hype. Also the longevity is terrible on me.

I cannot make my mind up about this.

I tried it in store on my arm and on a blotter and I couldn't stop smelling it, my colleagues were laughing at me sniffing my arm all afternoon. The smell lasted on the blotter for a week and it smelled so good so I decided to order a large bottle.

The lavender definitely punches you in the face but it's lovely once it dries down. It can be headache inducing and the citrus notes are drowned out by full on lavender and full on vanilla. It has been a hot humid summer in Sydney so I'm hoping I'll like this more again in winter. I'm not so sure about these comments saying it smells expensive. It's little a bit screechy. Some days I really like it, other days it is just too sickly.

Edit:
I get an accidental note of Feijoa fruit (common fruit in New Zealand) and I would love to know if anyone else smells it?

It has finally cooled down in Sydney and this is much more wearable in cooler weather and I like it again.

This is the best perfume from Libre, it's my signature now, longevity is a beast, I love it

This was my first perfume and I really had to get used to it since it is very adult and pretty intense. Made the rookie mistake to spray this on and step in the car.. it made me nauseous.. but after a few weeks I start t really appreciate the performance on this and the lovely dry down .. opening remains a bit much for me and I still prefer my perfumes less “rich lady” like but it is definitely good quality and nice

It smells soapy, sickly sweet and like root beer. It's a lavender bunch slap in your face. Sorry to those who love it, but this is over hyped and not so polite a perfume. It screams, please do not wear at the office or restaurant, it's suffocatingly loud and masculine in character :(

White floral, orange, lavender and vanilla; perfection in a bottle. my new all time fave

This perfume is soooo good. I really like it. It lasts long. So happy to have it.

I don't want to love this, but I do. A really warm scent that is sweet and decadent without being heavy or cloying. The mandarin gives it a syrupy sweetness, sugar coating the soft florals before baking them with vanilla and tonka bean. It settles softly but it's presence stays. I'd suggest it for date-night in Summer, and day or evening in the Autumn/Winter months

Is this reformulated? I bought new one but weak smell not potent

smells like old money. the lavender and jasmine make it fresh at first but as it sits it turns into a warm vanilla, musky fruity scent. the lavender is super prominent to me. lasts 8+ hours on me and i can smell it on my clothes days later

smells great when you spritz it on the expired potpourri in a well-ventilated room. not quite as glam when it's sprayed on an actual human being

In the opening, there’s plant-like note perhaps the lavender, orange blossom and citrus peel, which gives a grassy sensation, fresh green scent.

But that takes a back seat over time, and the perfume transitions to smooth vanilla, tonka bean and indistinguishable flowers with faint lavender.

The dry down is gorgeous. I like that it’s not too sweet. It is complex enough to make it alluring and interesting.

I find this to be heavy and cloying, almost nauseating. I do like gourmand vanilla fragrances and also powdery florals, but YSL Libre Intense is neither gourmand nor floral. Tonka bean is heavy and florals are sirupy (not in the good way).

It's just sooo good. Perfect for any night out but also for seducing anybody if you need to do that for whatever reason. It's mature but not overly mature so it still suits younger people. It's such a perfect mix of syrupy sweet and musky floral.. I love you Libre Intense <333

Looking at the notes and reading the reviews I expected to like this. But I really don’t. It smells like wintergreen to me like heavy fruity wintergreen. I really tried to like it because according to the notes I should. But I scrubbed it off.

Love love love.. so perfect for me

I like all the Libres a lot, but I think Libre Intense is my favorite, and I'm glad it was the one my husband chose to give me for Valentine's Day (he splurged on the big bottle, which will likely last me the rest of my life considering that a few sprays will last a good 12 hours). At first I thought the major difference between the Libre EDP and Libre Intense EDP was the extra dose of vanilla (plus tonka) in the Intense version, but now I think the main difference between them is the base. The addition of vetiver to Libre Intense makes it a bit smokier and more nocturnal; I think the OG has a cedar base, which smells sharper and fresher. I love vetiver here because it makes the lavender seem more fougère-like. Libre Intense is sweeter than regular Libre Eau de Parfum (and certainly sweeter than the jasmine tea-like Libre EDT); it's probably closest to Libre Le Parfum, although the sweetness of that one is tempered by the bright ginger and saffron notes, which make it a bit zingier. I do think Le Parfum and Intense are probably close enough that you wouldn't need both; they smell different at first but are difficult to distinguish from each other an hour or so into the drydown.

Got LOADSSS of compliments whenever i wore this out, its a beautiful scent and it lasts a good while. Its a perfume i think about a lot

I tried this on because I could smell it on a woman sitting next on my at the metro and I had to ask her what it is. It strong and alluring and although I can smell the lavender, this is not a fresh scent. I like it but not on me, I prefer something a little more "modern" and this kinda smells like 90's. Still fantastic but a little old

This is the smell of Lady Gaga saying "I have an interesting mind but I want to smell like a slut"

LOVE. Long lasting and great sillage. It’s somehow fresh and strong at the same time and I love the citrus notes. It’s very classy which is exactly what I expect from a designer perfume, it has an old money sophisticated vibe. I can understand why some people may say it leans towards unisex but I think a lot of musky perfumes do and I’m not afraid of that. This makes me feel feminine and confident especially when the warm vanilla comes out once dried down. Sensual but not cheap smelling.

This was my signature scent until I received Le Parfum for Christmas. Initially, I was in love with this perfume - sillage and longevity are top tier, and it is overall a warm and sexy scent. I tend to like stronger perfumes, but my mom and my boyfriend have both commented that it smells masculine. I realized they had a point when I sprayed Intense after a few months of only wearing Le Parfum. I found it to be a bit masculine and sharp, so this is something you should keep in mind if you decide to purchase. Overall, I still like this fragrance, but prefer Le Parfum.

Pretty and very strong, this lasts WAY better than the OG but is a little fresher than Le Parfum.

8 hours in and I can smell this is strongly as when I applied, and it has a BEAUTIFUL scent trail.

Big bottle buy, for me unfortunately not.. simply because by the end of the day I had a cracking headache!

This gave me a headache after 10-15 minutes of wearing it. It’s a very mature scent, but oh dear, I tried to have my lunch after an hour of spraying it on my wrist, it made me nauseous, I had to take it off. It was very hard to rub it off, the scent stayed with me the whole day. I prefer fresh and citrusy scents and this is just not my vibe. Too much white floral for me.

Just picked this up at Sephora. after smelling a bunch of different fragrances. This and Burberry goddess were the 2 that stuck out for me. This is bold and soft at the same time. Love the lavender mixed with floral notes vanilla. Very smooth and long lasting. I’m a man and have no issues wearing this.

Very luxurious and seductive scent. This is what I imagine when someone says designer perfume. It smells so good, and it's not too sweet. The lavender is the most prominent note to me. This is perfect for evenings and lasts long.

This is simply stunning, sexy, gorgeous, and seductive. It has more oomph than the original and simply turns heads everywhere you go. An instant icon in my book.

Whenever im near this bottle, i cant help sniffing it. Its addictive af! Not the most fav for my bf to smell on me. But for me its my absolute favourite. Everything about this scent screams oh she is THAT GIRL! And I LOVE IT! If anybody can give me recs about what moisturizers can i pair this with please let me know. As i am new to layering im having a hard time finding something to layer it with.

I sampled this fragrance today, initally it came off as very subtle, but then the lavender really hit during the dry down + 2- 3 hours later. The smell now reminds me of those small lavender pillow bags with real dried lavender nested in between egyptian cotton linens in a rich person's house from the early 2000s. It's too overpowering now, I will not purchase.

Delicious! The orange note is so sophisticated and not synthetic smelling at all! This is so sweet and rich, blending through the day into an orange and vanilla cupcake! This is lovely and I don’t own anything like it! I love that it’s strong and long lasting without the actual scent being too crazy and smack in the face. Lasted 6+ hours on skin alone and was still projecting after the 6 hours! Very impressive YSL😛🫶🫶

Love at first sniff! Somehow it is soft and strong at the same time and lasts all day!

This is the perfume to wear for a night out . It’s more intense than the OG and the vanilla kicking in it lorddddd 🫶 i would say it’s more mature as a scent . Definitely 25+ above
Good longevity too

This is not my fave, and I’m disappointed by that. The notes look right up my alley! It’s giving “Pennsylvania mother-in-law’s home air freshener” mixed with “Charleston mid-30’s early 40’s female professional with licorice candy in her Neverfull tote”

Repeated sniffing on the paper tester is giving me a headache. Am I disgusted by this? No. I would not cringe if someone near me was wearing this. I just won’t be purchasing it for myself any time soon.

It might possibly smell different on my skin, but of the 4 testers I’ve received today, this is the only one that I really don’t want to take the risk of having on my skin all day. Will update if this changes!

Smells heavenly, soft warm hug, sweet but not tooth decay. It is clean in a sense that is soapy, increadibly creamy lux body butter. Based on the notes and reviews (mine too) it should be basic and boring, but then again - i didn't encounter anything similar.

Smells rich because it smells clean. It does absolutely start as clean laundry. Dries down to a body wash's version of a vanilla: perfumey and soapy, not gourmand. Imagine a mom's 'fancy' perfume, it'd be this. I got it to make sure none of my scent associations with my preferred rose or sugary perfumes are with going to work. Will use this as a work perfume / when I need something more boring and mature (I say that in the best way possible). Smells like a NICE receptionist.

EDIT: Okay I think this will smell better in the summer because it smells better in my inner elbow than wrist or clothes. I think this needs the heat to warm up the florals and lavender and sweeten it.

It smells like a rich grandma who rides a Bentley, Emily Gilmore might be wearing this. Not me though I'm 20

It is my 2nd favourite from the Libre line. If you are looking for a super lavender vanilla perfume this is it.

9/10

This is the OG just more intense with a stronger vanilla and mandarin. If you thought the OG was strong. This Intense literally has lasted over two weeks on my winter nylon North Face jacket. I have the 90 ml so this will last quite some time as i rarely wear the same scent two days in a row. I sprayed both of my wrists and one to the neck and had to crack the car window in the middle of January so the kids could breathe. You have to be very careful with this Libre. She did not come to play. She means business. The drydown was a vanilla lavender with hints of citrus. A beautiful scent and the strongest one yet in the Libre family.

oh my GOD!! this smells like heaven in a bottle and i’m kinda mad it’s as popular as it is as I want to gatekeep this lol, the lavender, vanilla and bergamot are so well blended and carry so much depth!! the lavender gives me comfort in this and im not a gourmand girly but this is the only vanilla i find pleasant in a perfume. the bergamot is so fresh, i can acc see myself wearing this all year round when i wanna make a statement. this is THE it girl fragrance !! i love it so so so much ! the lasting power is also so incredible, when i tested this in store on paper it lasted 4 days later and acc transferred onto the other tester papers, it’s that good! i went home and immediately bought the 90ml bottle as i can see it lasting a long time and only getting better as it macerates! it’s giving grown, elegant lady vibes and i’m here for it!!!

You can't go wrong with this perfume. It's such a beautiful blend of lavender, citrus, alluring florals, and decadent vanilla. Sexy, feminine, and mature. If you gravitate towards more fruity fresh floral perfumes, you probably won't care for this. This is a heavy hitter. I like to think of the original YSL Libre as being more daytime and everyday appropriate, while the YSL Libre intense is more for the night time and going out, when you want to get noticed.

I especially like the orchid and vanilla that they added, gives it more oomf compared to the original. I've seen some people say that it dries down to just vanilla. That wasn't my experience. I smelled the florals, particularly the orchid, many hours into the wear. And normally I'm not a huge fan of orchid, especially since Tom Ford Black Orchid makes me want to vomit. But this orchid is so beautifully blended in and goes well with the other notes. This performs like a BEAST. It will get you noticed. Do not overspray. It will nauseate people. One spray on the neck and wrists is all you need. I love to layer this with my Baccarat Rouge 540 for added depth and elegance.

This is so incredibly beautiful! I absolutely love the smell, it is almost as I can describe it as a perfect perfume. And the weird thing is, this does not suit me at all. It is absolutely wonderful, still its not "me". Its like i really want to be around people wearing this, but not to smell it on myself, does that sound weird? I envision a very well dressed ultra feminine grown (but not old) woman with tons of self confidence and winning personality. And im far from it lol. I do not like lavender, unless it is the smell from the flowers itself in my garden. But in this you dont get it in your face at all, so dont let the notes fool you. I think it has a supporting role, and warm vanilla is the superstar. Its stunningly beautiful!

The moment I smelled this perfume it was love at first sight. I had originally bought the 30ml, and now I have recently bought the full sized 100 ml and it's definitely the scent I use the most during fall/winter, I just love wearing this.

Girls also love this scent (funny enough, my other perfumes get way more compliments from women than this one does??? I don't know why - if I smelt a girl wearing this and I didn't know about it, I would be asking what fragrance she was using in a heartbeat), but I mainly receive compliments from guys when I use it.

And the drydown is lovely. Warm and not overly sweet.

Intoxicating in a feminine, clean and warm way.
The opening with lavendel/florals feels calming, the middle notes are especially sexy. Very well balanced. Not overly floral, sweet, citrus. The drydown is warm slightly woody and spiced vanilla. Perfect for date nights, formal events, coffee runs in the city. Best perfume I have ever owned.

They weren’t lying when they named this baby “intense”! Two sprays is all you need to be smelling pretty all day. I don’t find her terribly sweet like other people say, but I enjoy the dry, almost woody vanilla as a contrast to standard gourmand vanillas. This is definitely a scent to wear when you want to turn heads, though I think it might be a bit mature for younger women.

Very indolic upon first spray. Personally my skin picks up a very heavy Jasmine and lavender, not so much the citrus. The opening smells like fresh laundry. Or an expensive detergent soap or dryer sheet. I would say this part is a difficult stage to get through because it lasts a long time, and although I absolutely love Jasmine and lavender as notes, I want to smell sexy, not like I just finished a shift at the laundromat. Also, when comparing the opening of the Intense vs the OG EDP, I prefer the opening of the EDP instead. It’s a bit more tame, and the blend is much smoother than the Intense.

Nonetheless, if you can tolerate this stage, you WILL be rewarded with a very unique (and I say that in a the best way) drydown. Because the drydown is a huge WOW! Never have I smelled a vanilla base like this one before. And 90% of my perfumes have vanilla in them. I also have many perfumes by Guerlain who is famous for their vanilla.

The vetiver makes the vanilla a dry, warm, and almost woody one. And honestly I don’t see enough of this dry, realistic, earthy vanilla in many perfumes these days and these kinds of vanilla are my fave. At home I make my own vanilla syrup using fresh vanilla beans so I’m familiar with this earthy scent of vanilla before it’s infused into a decoction of syrup.

The last time I came across this type of super dry vanilla was with Yves Rocher Vanille Noir, and a high quality gem from the Victoria Secret Parfum Intimes line - Cashmere, Vanilla, Jasmine, which is now discontinued too. The tonka bean here gives my olfactory palette a bit more texture to play with, and the ambergris creates a surprising creaminess to incorporate everything together. And if you want to know about projection and longevity…. It’s a beast. I sprayed one spray on my wrist before bed, and woke up to the scent still there.

I will say, the Intense version has many stages which seem to morph over extended periods of time creating more interest and curiosity along the way. Which I enjoy. Because perfume is an experience.

I’m not sure I would invest in a full bottle, mostly because the opening is a bit too much for me, but I know I will crave that drydown because it is very yummy. Perhaps I will invest in a travel size to fill the need to have this in my collection as a vanilla lover.

Now if the opening was that of the OG, and the base was of the Intense, we would have a winner from top to bottom!

Tested from a carded spray sample.

UPDATE: been wearing for a few days now and the more I wear the more luxurious and womanly it feels. The beginning notes that slapped me in the face with potently fresh and clean lavender and indolic jasmine have redeemed themselves in a way I can truly appreciate… my nose has gotten used to it and quite enjoys this stage now. This perfume is fascinating in its development. Dare I say this is a modern masterpiece. Full bottle worthy and I must have it now!

Closing thoughts:
There are some perfumes you have to try more than once. Sometimes perfumes assault your nose upon first testing them because you’ve never smelled it before. Try and try again and you may surprise yourself the more you get to know it like I did with Libre Intense. First impressions aren’t always the most accurate.

When I tried Golden Decade by Zara for the first time, I completely fell in love with it. (Wait, what?)

I was finishing my bottle of perfume and I was decided to buy another one. I recently started to watch videos about perfumes on YT and then... WHAT? Golden Decade is a dupe of a YSL fragrance?

Then I told to myself: no way, I have to smell it. And I did. And I found a better, deeper, complex, magnificent version of Golden Decade. Like GD x 1000.

What can I say? I love this perfume. It makes me feel elegant, confident, a real boss. And it lasts, and evolves, which is another difference compared to the Zara version (which is quite linear).

Buy the original, if you are thinking about it.

I adore this perfume. I don't feel it's as sweet or as strong as people describe it here, but I'm someone who likes their scent to be noticeable, and I think this one strikes the perfect balance. Moreover, the clothing I wear with this perfume retains the scent until it's washed. Every time I wear it, I receive compliments. It's very elegant and feels like it can be worn on any occasion, perhaps except on a very hot day or at the beach. If you enjoy drawing attention and appreciate elegance, this perfume is for you.

She’s everything ‘Libre’ is, and more;
She’s sweet, she’s sexy — She’s just that girl.

I genuinely did not expect to love this fragrance as much as I did. It’s incredibly sensual, yet extremely wearable. I’m generally kind of annoyed by the propagation of the “sweet-floral” trend among designer fragrances, but this is just so incredibly well done. It’s heavy on the vanilla through and through on the skin. The florals only add to it, they don’t take away from that delicious vanilla quality.
I will definitely be repurchasing this fragrance again and again.

I tried this whilst on vacation last summer, and since then I have been thinking of it… So much that I needed to buy a decant.

The vanilla and caramel is very overpowering except for that little freshness that comes with the first spray. It dries down to a sweet and strong amber, and it is very intense, but in an addicting way. It is like eating a way too sweet and thick fudge. In some whiffs I really get the lavender and it can be a bit headache inducing, which is why I have a love-hate relationship with this perfume. But damn this is one sexy perfume and it never fails to make me feel good about myself when wearing it...

This perfume is really strong,sexy and delicious. This scream elegant and grown woman. But sometimes its too heavy. I was shopping presents with my dad and we both loved this perfume so we bought it for my mom. I tried it in the shop and i could still smell it other day. But my mom didnt really like this perfume because it was too strong so my sister kept it. I remeber that some people told me that i was over sprayed when wearing this perfume. Over all i really like this scent but its not every day scent especialy if you are a teenager. The price is ok but if you are looking for a dupe a recommend golden decade from zara. Its not identical but its 90% the same and it isnt that strong. If you dont care about money and liked libre intense but was too strong for you, i think libre is better choice for you. Its smells really similar but it is not that overpowering.

I fell in love instantly with the perfume when I smell it for the first time just wow. Elegant, long-lasting, and strong.

S T R O N G. If you wanna make a statement and be powerful. Wear on big special occasions

As a person that takes a long time to go through my perfumes, I will say, I bought this a year ago and am almost finished. That’s how much I love it. It was love at first smell. The tonka is rich along with the vanilla and lavender. The ambergris in the dry down is amazingly smooth and rich. I would definitely buy this again.

Longevity: Great
Sillage: Great

This smells like an older woman with expensive taste. She has a signature hairstyle, lipstick color, and fragrance. She has dark wood furniture and mood lighting in her bedroom! But she also knows how to make a space feel cozy.
This fragrance is warm and slightly reminds me of fabric softener (in the best way). The lavender is pronounced and the base gives it a slight sweetness.
I don’t understand how people are overwhelmed by this fragrance. I find it incredible calming!

Bright, iconic and intense scent.
Normally, I do not like lavender but it works so well here.
It starts off floral and bright, then dries down to a thick sweet vanilla syrup -- it faintly reminds me of licorice here,

I just love it - it works so well on my skin and lasts 5-6 hours. It is quite beautiful and elegant, it is also powerful.
This scent smells rich and powerful like someone who is really put together.

Very classy, on my second bottle, always reaching for this during the colder months and nighttime :)

I bought this as a blind buy after seeing so many positive reviews. Unfortunately it smelled like laundry soap on me. The overpowering scent just smelled cheap on my skin. I kept it for close to 2 years and gave it several trials hoping to fall in love with it, until I finally gave it away.

I tried on a test of this in the store because it stood out to me from the rest, one spray. Definitely intense. As someone that's sensitive to strong perfumes, I definitely don't recommend more than one spray, one spray is more than enough. I think it smells good, sexy, but it can get a bit too much, it can get too intense and too sweet. It can definitely induce nausea and headaches. It's also a mature scent, I feel like it's maybe too mature for me (I'm 20). It's most suitable for parties I'd say. It also lasts for a long time on me, days. It especially sticks to clothes and my watch. On my clothes and watch it smells more masculine, like a cologne, while on my skin it was more feminine.

I really like it.
Lavender base with lots of vanilla. A lot of vanilla.
Personally I prefer how it opens (more lavender) to what it turns it (more vanilla and some white flowers) that's why I think perfume is slightly better than the intense for me. It' viscous and covering.
Vampy perfume for dates

Libre Intense is a powerful, sensual and seductive fragrance. I am guilty of being an oversprayer but I would NOT overspray this. 3 sprays max or it can become too cloying.

For me, this fragrance starts off with a blast of syrupy vanilla, lavender, and mandarin. As she dries down, you get the smoothness of the tonka bean. The jasmine is done very well here, smooth and inoffensive. Libre Intense gives woman in a suit vibes, this woman has a jet black precision cut bob that falls just below her ears. She is wearing red lipstick, and her shiny black stilettos echo down a white, marbled hallway.

I don't know what Anne Flipo and Carlos Benaim were thinking when they created Libre. For me, Libre + Libre Intense is a masterpiece in both fragrance and design! 🤗

The scent is warm, extremely flattering and OMG... so sexy 😍. However, Libre Intense is not a perfume that everyone falls in love with as soon as they smell it, so take time to evaluate it to know if you love it or not. Lavender's note is usually quite flat and dry, but Libre Intense handles very smoothly, with a luxurious and powerful bottle design. It feels like a warm, peaceful breeze blowing through the vast purple Lavender field. Buy it, and you'll appreciate why it and Libre OG are at the top of the best women's perfumes in recent years!

Rating: 10/10. When using Libre Intense, I see the Vibes of French girls standing under the magnificent Eiffel tower in the city of light

This was my first fragrance purchase, so I'm not very knowledgeable in this stuff. I'm not all THAT into intense vanilla scents, so this perfume at first felt very overpowering especially with how strong it is in general as a fragrance. It's a very comforting and cozy scent, in my opinion, definitely sensual too. And trust me, one tiny spray goes a long way. This stuff is intense, like the name suggests. You'll have everyone fainting in a room, if you spray it more than once.

Pros:
- I love a long sillage and a strong fragrance.
- Easy to like if you love vanilla.
- Lovely scent during winter. Immediately reminds me of baking cookies or something.
- I feel expensive.

Cons:
- Around an hour after spraying, all I can smell is vanilla.
- I found out what ambergris is. No wonder they named it that instead of what it really is.
- Probably headache-inducing.
- Sweet smell (might be too much for some).
- Maybe a tiny bit overpriced.

I’m a sucker for orange blossom, jasmine, bergamot, and vanilla. When I tell you that I’ve been searching for a modern day fragrance that actually lasts and hits deep, THIS is it.

Love the original YSL Libre… but I wanted just a hint of “extra”, and the intense provides that. The sweetness of that vanilla and orange blossom lingers well. Only a few sprays goes a long way, and I can still get a whiff after 5 hours, as if I just sprayed it a little while ago. The original = more lavender unisex feel. The intense = white floral and vanilla amped up dry-down feel.

Really hoping they never discontinue this or the OG YSL Libre! I’m here for the hype!

I love this one so much ! Smells orange blossoms, vanilla and the sweetness of the tonka beans. It lasts all day but it doesn’t leave a trail yet people around you can smell you. I bought a 50 ml and I definitely need a full bottle once halfway. Beautiful fragrance !

This was a blind buy for me as I’m trying to find what fragrances I really like. I got a small bottle on sale so I’m not too hurt that I didn’t like it.

The initial smell wasn’t too bad but once it dried down it became way too much. On my skin it seemed to smell very earthy and a little damp almost? I’m usually fine with smells but after 4 hours it triggered a headache. After showering it’s still in my nose.

It’s not “bad”, it’s definitely not for me. It’s strong so if you’re looking for a stay all day scent then this is perfect. I can smell the vanilla and some florals but I really can’t get behind it being a young scent, it does smell like a mature scent. At least to my novice nose.

The search continues.

This was not love at first sniff but this fragrance has really grown on me. The opening smells strongly of lavender which gives this an herbal almost medicinal smell. Don’t let the opening deter you like it did me. The scent settles into a beautiful soft floral vanilla but it’s anything but generic. The Jasmin and orange blossom are bountiful and the vanilla gives the fragrance some softness. It’s definitely unisex and would be amazing on a man. This reminds me of an elegant hotel lobby. Classy and sophisticated. This is a strong fragrance as others have said so even though it’s clean smelling there is a heaviness with the deep florals and vanilla. This is so good but a few sprays go a long way. One of the very best designer fragrances.

I agree with the comment below, I remember smelling it for the first time and falling in love.

But once you wear it, it becomes TOO much. It makes sense - it's intense, but damn, does it need to be so intense? Gives me a massive headache, and the people around me suffers from it too, so be careful!

I loved it initially but the scent became too overpowering and does not match with my skin at all. Wearing this became unbearable, unfortunately it smells too overpowering on others as well. It somehow seems to have gained a lot of popularity now and you can smell it everywhere, just like with Baccarat Rouge 540 a couple of years ago, except this one is not that easy to tolerate.

I initially liked this one, but for whatever reason this has that headache and nausea-inducing type of vanilla that I absolutely could not stand. Ended up selling it, because I had to wait a whole month before wearing it again each time. My man loves it though, probably because he does not have to smell it all the time. When you wear this.. it kinda wears you and you can not escape the scent.

Quite mature in my opinion, not for those who prefer lighter more teenager youthful vanilla scents. Definitely nighttime type of scent. I don't know what others have smelled, but my bottle (purchased in 2020) was def "nuclear performance" and not "undetectable" at all!

I'm no perfume expert but I must say that Libre Intense is what started my little perfume collection.
It's a very fresh and strong scent that gets a lot of compliments and is perfect for special events because the freshness of the orange blossom plus the lavender is perfectly combined with the vanilla scent that wraps it all up. I'm currently looking to purchase my fourth bottle of it.

At a intimate dinner with your friends in a botanical garden around christmas/fall. Opens with a strong aroma of crushed sugur coated cooked orange, like the orange stuck with nutmeg on christmas. Lingers inside the light botanical garden smell of pink orchid and lavender. As it settles into clothing and skin though it pulls such a sweet spiced boozy vanilla, not always in the mood for the syrupy orange opener but the dry down always impresses.

I need to say I was really disappointed by this one. To me it's definitely not as intense as its described, it smells great but doesn't last any longer than the original one.

This is a lovely scent and I do like it but to me it smells a little too masculine. Looking for a sexy FEMININE signature night time scent and this just reminds me of a man's cologne.

Definitely a favorite of mine and a great signature scent! I love the intense the most, as the original is too “fresh laundry” and less gourmand, and the le parfum is too sweet and cloying for me. This is such a well blended elegant and chic fragrance with a punch of lavender in the opening and a bourbon vanilla on the dry down. This exudes confidence and class and is more feminine in my opinion.

Upon initial spray, this smells almost identical to the OG Libre. During the drydown though, the tonka bean and vanilla really come through. It's definitely sweeter and slightly stronger than OG Libre. If you think that the lavender is too strong in Libre, then maybe the sweetness of the Intense version would be up your alley.

This is a wonderful fragrance, but in my personal opinion, I prefer the original Libre (I am a lavender fanatic, so keep that in mind). I also don't see the necessity in owning both the OG and the Intense at the same time. I think they are similar enough to not need both.

I smelled this on a test paper yesterday at the store. I could barely smell anything at all. Thought I was nose blind after smelling two other scents. I got a samle to take home and test anyway. I sprayed 3 times today. Clothes and wrist.
Can barely detect it.
I get a small whiff of lavender and vanilla when I smell my wrists. It smells a bit like old lady perfume on me.
Unfortunately, this is not for me.

I love this and OH MY is it strong! I took one spray on the wrist and one on the neck, and it was quite overpowering. I can't really understand what it smells like, but it does have a more masculine vibe than I expected. Smells like a good perfume, not food, flowers, woods etc. Like many other perfumes do. I will definitely wear this a lot

YSL Libre Intense is a perfume I will always repurchase. It has that lovely and sophisticated vanilla-lavender combo that makes me feel like a classy and empowered woman. In my experience, this is the kind of fragrance that turns heads, leaves a trail, and makes people remember you.

Comparing this to Libre EDP. Libre EDP is in my left elbow pit and Libre Intense is in my right elbow pit.

Intense starts off with vanilla and jasmine instead of citrus with a hint of white flowers in the EDP. I think that makes the regular EDP smell younger. If the EDP is for your 20-30 something, Intense is for the 30++ crowd.

The Jasmine is slightly indolic and reminds me of YSL's Cinema but thankfully it's not urine-like like it is in Mon Paris and J'Adore 1999. So far this smells like a more refined (perfected?) Cinema.

10 mins in, Libre EDP still has a bit of citrus left but it's already transforming into a shampoo-y scent as the citruses transition into the white floral heart. Meanwhile, the Intense's white floral and vanilla open only deepened.

The less concentrated white florals + the citrus and the orange blossom in the heart of the EDP has really taken the edge off the animalic and indolic tendencies white flowers can come with. In Intense, the citruses never come. That said, while the white flowers in Intense are more concentrated than in EDP they are also more subtle compared to the aforementioned Mon Paris and J'Adore.

I wanted to like this but it’s completely overrated.

I tried it a long time ago and completely forgot what it smelled like. Then I found it on a list of sexy female scents. I thought I would give it a go one more time. I tried it yesterday and I was honestly not impressed but it didn’t smell bad either. I tried it again today and it triggered a migraine! It smells very medicinal on me right now. I’m going to try to wash it off.

Finally got a tester for this one after reading so many good reviews and I thought I would love it, but sadly I didn't. It was surprisingly masculine and light, reminded me of a mens cologne. My mom even commented saying I smelled like my dads old Drakkar noir lol (I think it might be the lavender). Maybe I'll have to give it another try, but to me it smelled weirdly waxy and like a soft bug repellent spray.

I usually don't like heavier perfumes, but this one is one that is in my rotation. It lasts a ridiculous amount of time. Even days later I can still smell it on my jacket. The scent develops beautifully the longer it stays. I feel sexy and powerful with it. However, I definitely don't think it is a fragrance for the summer, as it is on the heavier side and it would be very headache-inducing on the hot summer days

This is the ultimate fall and winter night time scent. This smells very luxurious and beautiful. I can mainly smell vanilla, lavender and Tonka Bean. It just smells like an elevated version of the original Libre. This isn't for the feint of heart but this will appeal to most of people. This is subtly sweet but somehow intoxicating. The lasting power is insane, easily 12h+.
I rate this a 10/10

Smells warmer and sweeter than the original Libre, the intense has a lavender floral opening and a more deeper vanilla dry down which is perfect for the gourmand girlies that want a more mature vanilla without smelling too sweet. This perfume lasts a while on me and it’s become a signature scent😍if ur not a fan of the heavy sweetness in the dry down stick to the original libre it’s more earthy/ lavender fresh laundry smelling.

OK, my first impression of this was 'nuclear laundry detergent!!!'...and my opinion ha snot changed as it's dried down.

...but...

it is SO much prettier and mellow after half an hour-1 hour. It really, dramatically settles into the skin and becomes an unapologetically unisex SCREAMIN' CLEAN neo-lavender (not as herbal as traditional lav, not as herbaceous, not as realistic...very linear), soapy affair that takes some nerve to pull off. I'm impressed actually, and I wasn't with original Libre or the EDT. This however? Wow. This has tenfold as much character.

This isn't to say it's somehow groundbreaking or memorable...it actually kind of isn't. It's like a loud, take charge managerial sort of person who somehow isn't overly abrasive. Rather "normcore" (as the kids say), and easy to understand. I'm in total agreement with those who say it's a "corporate" scent, it's shamelessly office-y, but it has swag. The vanilla is decent, but this is so much snappier and brisk than Mon Guerlain, it's ridiculous to even compare the two IMO.

I enjoy this!

I've had this on my list of wants for a while, and finally got it today. I tried this as a tester, on the paper it was a lot sweeter, on my body its coming through a lot more spicy, Amber comes through after about 10 minutes, with the vanilla and lavender. A lovely strong scent, hoping the vanilla comes through more as it settles.

This does indeed smell a bit masculine but it is so good! So warm and cozy!

on my skin, this is a light scent, that starts quite masculine and then becomes a softer/ lighter vanilla enveloping scent with other notes, but throughout the whole process, it's a quite subtle scent, so don't understand why many people say it's a night scent or a boss perfume, at least on my skin it's a very everyday scent for women that like a little more leaning unisex, but still very wearable perfume.

Libre Intense Yves Saint Laurent:
Is this one of those times when I am perceiving a perfume differently from the majority of people? I smell a flash of rootbeer, and then a childhood bubble bath or dish detergent scent in the opening. In the dry down, a waxy lipstick that reminds me of candy lips I used to get as a kid. It is a departure from the fragrances that I love, but I can understand the appeal in this modern time. People want to smell clean and inoffensive. However, I don't want to smell like dishsoap....I want to smell like perfume.

Really appreciate the addition of lavender but the overall composition is just overrated. Not a relaxing scent at all!

Very beautiful warm vanilla scent& personally i love it it but unfortunately i cant wear it because it usually gives me a headache:(

Smoother, smell lighter than Armaf Club de nuit but It’s fade faster. I spray both on my skin same time but after 2-3hrs, Only CDNI remain.

Lux soap bar, the white one. Nothing less nothing more identical.
Maybe my sample was ruined 🤷♀️ but I can't see this a warm sexy feminine scent at all. If you like the soap bar smell you gonna like this and I find it leans more masculine maybe unisex. I must sample this again with another tester not to be unfair maybe the tester is damaged

0 sillage 0 longevity maybe its cause my bottle was manufactured less than 1 year ago and i should let it macerate longer. but idk just doesn't last or project on me.

The bottle is so so beautiful but I really dislike this :( I wanted to like it but there’s some sort of baby powder chalky something in there that really bothers me, and it’s so easily recognisable in a crowd but not in a good way to me.

Tonka Bean and Vanilla Bomb! Perfect for Autumn and Winter Season. Also perfect for a Date Night and evenings. Such a classy and cozy scent. Amazing Longevity.

It’s a bit strong, but I love the scent. I do 3 sprays max, anything more than that gives me a headache.

I own and love Mon Guerlain Intense and also Burberry Goddess, that both have the same vanilla and lavender notes. I thought I'd like this one too, but it's way more loud, more masculine, more mature too. I like the scent on others, I think this is also very unisex, but it's just not for me, it gives me a headache. Great longevity.

Using the words awesome and alluring to describe this scent would be me not giving this fragrance the unequivocal justice it deserves. This fragrance is amazing so amazing!!!!

i don’t know how i feel about this one tbh? first few smells, it’s gorgeous… and then it turns into this gross bo dirty smell… then back to gorgeous. after it dries down i begin to like it more but it’s a bit unpredictable. could be better, if i’m honest

Back in January I went to run some errands, I needed a new planner for 2023 and I wanted to check out some fragrances with my sister at the perfume store. I ended up carrying home with me a little paper strip of YSL Libre Intense. It was, not surprisingly, too intense for my usual tastes. But there was something there, perhaps the lavender, that kept me going back to that strip, it was intoxicating and enticing (warm, wintery, with a sharp edge and some sweetness). I put that little strip inside my new planner, and there it has stayed all these months. Enclosed between the pages, everytime I oppened the planner, the smell welcomed me though, admitedly, fainter and fainter as time went by.

There're still some traces left, mostly a delicate powdery thing, and I think I'll get a little bottle just so it can remind me of 2023. Not planning on wearing it just yet, I'l get a headache. But who knows, maybe in the future I'll grow a tolerance for strong scents.

Very “safe” and “crowd pleasing” while still being different and unique in the designer frag world.
It’s awesome!

Plumeria and Lavender stepping out of a solid amber limo as flashbulbs of neroli go off all around them.

Finally I've found my perfect potion of feminine lavendar, which doesn't smell like an aftershave. The EDT, EDP and EDP intense don't smell too different to me. I picked this one as a 2nd hand buy because I like my frags to be more long-lasting and intense. So far I have loved every one of YSL perfumes.

This is 100% warm laundry right from the dryer.

I’ve had this fragrance for just over a year and a half now and it’s a strong like but not a love. It’s a warm amber vanilla scent that I’ll wear when I don’t really know what fragrance to wear but it’s winter. Good longevity and strong projection for most of the time. The EDP was way too floral and basic in a way? I tried the Le Parfum and what the hell? They’ve increased the intensity of the notes without actually making sure the notes are balanced and actually work well together, it’s so stringent and feels like the notes are fighting each other and my nose is caught in the middle of it… but this EDP intense is just right for me

7.5/10

I can’t exactly pinpoint why, but I just can’t get on board with this one the way I did with the original. Maybe it’s too sweet? I keep hearing people talk about how this is the best one of the line, and because of that I keep coming back to retry it, and every time I don’t like it :/

This is so good. I feel like I am tasting honey while lying in a field surrounded by the most amazing smelling flowers. It's hard to describe exactly what it smells like, so my imagination goes to different places each time. I know I really love a scent when this happens. ;D It's so well blended, they made orange smell sophisticated and grown up. It's very warm, inviting, intoxicating and addictive. It's strong, projects well and lasts all day but without giving me a headache. It's really sweet, but not sickly. No chemical aftertaste, smells natural and high quality. There are just no flaws to this fragrance, and I've looked. I'd say this is definitely a night time scent, unless you're in a cold weather. Spraying this in summer mid day heat would be like eating a very decadent and rich desert while drinking coffee when what you really want is some water and a popsicle.

This is a softer less sharp citrus version with a soft vanilla background. The Jasmine Sambac smells similar to the Jasmin in Alien Goddess. Lovely soft smooth scent. I still prefer the Edt version out of all of them and the edt performs like an edp.

I have smelled many lavender perfumes but this is by far the best designer lavender available it’s aromatic fresh warm cozy on my skin it’s a little flowers but mainly vanilla and tonka sweetness just want to eat myself lol
strong and very sophisticated and classy I absolutely love it
Gorgeous for the colder months
Love the edp and edt
Amazing quality high profile aromas

Libre Intense is an extraordinarily powerful fragrance, dominant and very strong.

Vanilla and lavender are heard from the beginning and orange blossom helps to give power. I feel that Intense is a Libre edp to which we have raised the revolutions. We will feel everything that is felt in the edp in Intense as if it were a Strombolian volcanic explosion. It is true that when the perfume calms down, the amber helps to make the Intense deeper and sweeter, it leaves behind the aromatic part of lavender and the flowers fade. But this fragrance is a volcano of exceptional aromatic and floral sweetness, perfect for cold times and magical nights.

Libre Intense reminds me a lot of Versace Blue Jeans and I find it a completely unisex scent.
This is a lavender bomb on me while when I first sampled it,it was very sweet spicy warm milk scent.
The heavy lavender could be reminiscent of a cleaning product at first but quickly it becomes pleasant and soothing.
While not my favorite perfume (since Im primarily a gourmand lover) Libre Intense lasts forever on me and it projects a ton.
Its good for all year round and suitable for a signature scent.

My absolute favorite fall scent. Very sexy, grown and classy smell. Pleasantly surprising blend of vanilla, lavender and orange. I don’t know best else to describe this but as very dark and mysterious, but also very sweet. I wore this on a first date and he was so captivated!! It didn’t work out but at least he had good taste in fragrances 😂😂😂

While Libre has some sharp edges the Intense version is rounder and smoother. After smelling the Intense version I felt no need for owning the original too. It smells so classy, almost decadent but never too much, it is slightly oriental, creamy.

Due to the combination of jasmine, orange blossom and lavender I think about warm mediterranean summer nights. The orange blossom takes me to a morrocan garden in full bloom, jasmine to a nice lush italian or greek villa and lavender to South of France of course.

Amazing fragrance, it’s luxurious without being too posh or snobbish.

Like this one more than Libre, it lasts longer on my skin and it speaks louder. It is sexy, elegant and sharp enough.

I have this thing where anytime a fragrance is super hyped, I immediately get turned off by it. I’m not saying it’s wise, but it’s just how I am wired. Not just with fragrances, but with everything in general. Probably why I haven’t watched Squid Game till now.

Why I mention this is because I was never interested in smelling Libre for ages. I loved the bottle - still do - but nothing compelled me to go smell it. When I finally did, I was underwhelmed. I found it too sharp and not rounded enough.

But then, one evening, idling my time away in a Sephora while waiting for a friend, I decided to try the Intense, even though it is the le Parfum I was the most interested in (no luck, the parfum hasn’t been released here yet) I sprayed it on the tester strip and walked around. And found myself smelling it again. And again. And again. Isn’t that the best feeling ever? The irresistible pull of a tester strip and how you know you’re slowly but surely falling in love?

I kept the strip in my jeans pocket and three hours later when I could smell a distinct scent cloud around me, I knew this was not just beautiful. It was also bold.

While at first I thought I smelled the lavender, the longer I spend time with this one, I detect the orange blossom more - the same orange blossom I smell in Dior Pure Poison. The jasmine and orange blossom remain strong for quite a few hours, and during this phase it is almost soapy. But then, it warms up, and what is left glowing on your skin is vanilla and Tonka bean. It radiates around you - like a warm golden halo that follows you around.

I don’t think I’ll find myself wearing this around the house (unless I am feeling spectacularly indulgent) but this is perfect for date nights. Bonus? The husband loves it on me and told me I was leaving a beautiful trail we walked around in the department store.

This is not your pastel hued frilly dress wearing frolicking in the grass weaving daisy chains kinda scent. This is a well fitted sheath dress, with a belt around the waist, walking effortlessly in heels having flawless hair and nails, having your life together kinda scent. And while I am not that kind, maybe fake it till I make it?

So good. It smells expensive.

This scent is intoxicating. Seductive and intense. Super bold fragrance and slightly masculine. I could see a man wearing this fragrance. The original libre is all woman, this one’s definitely unisex imo.

Libre Intense is so good. It’s probably the one that stands out the most in my perfume collection, because it leans androgynous, but not in a bad way! It definitely doesn’t smell like a men’s cologne, but I can see why a lot of people think it smells a tad bit masculine. I still think it leans feminine but with a masculine twist. To me this is very similar to the OG, just smells a bit warmer and more vanilla. It’s a deep, warm white flower scent with spicy lavender. It definitely doesn’t smell very floral, you can pick up on the floral notes but they don’t overpower. As for someone who don’t like lavender as a scent I can say that I love that it’s there in this fragrance! It doesn’t smell too much lavender and gives it the kick it needs to be extraordinary. I love how spicy and seductive it smells. It projects well and lasts long too, I felt it on my skin 16 hours after applying! And I’ve got compliments for this as well.

I love love Libre Intense, and Le Parfum, and the Original Libre.... all LIBRE, everyday. I just can't get enough of this stuff.

As someone that hates the citric notes, this is the only parfume thst keep them well blended without inducing me headache. Probably the best blind buy I made. Already on the second bottle as it's my signature scent and really hope it won't get discontinued even though I find the price tag slightly high.

Bought this perfume as a gift for my wife. My first choice was Black Opium and the lady in the store gave the spray card. She said: 'Black Opium is nice but can I give you recommendation?' She sprayed Libre Intense and handed over spray card. Sniff for couple of seconds, thinking for 4-5 seconds and said 'I'll take this one.' Got home with engraved bottle.

Warm, sweet, rich, intimate. Imagine you have to attend a party, your wife already in dress and apply the perfume. You'll find out you skipped the event and have your own party.

Vomit in a bottle. I have never ever smelled such a synthetic, plastici agressive bad perfume in my life. I usually can appreciate a perfume even if i do not like it or can nit wear it on myself. But this one is just a whole other world. I really do not understand how was this line ever the perfume of the year.

Loud, synthetic air freshener vibes. Hard to wash off which is good if you like this sort of thing but it’s the type of loud obnoxious fragrance to give me a headache.

headache in a bottle 😕

Oh I love it so much. At first, Libre and Libre intense have very very very similar vibe but there is a difference in drydown. After some time it's giving rich, hot, vanilla girl. Both sillage and longevity are excellent, also works in every season.

A staple! Honestly works great all year round as an evening scent! Can stand on it it’s but can also be layered with so many other perfumes. The is a boost on sex appeal and confidence

This perfume has the smell of a classy and strong woman. However, I find the vanilla note way too dominant to my liking.

Just beautiful!!! Can't have enough of it! Much warmer than the original and sweeter. BIG love for me!

Sampled it twice and fell in love the second time! Initially, I really picked up on the lavender, powdery notes and it almost reminded me of fresh laundry. Not bad, but not something I tend to gravitate towards. After a few hours, I started to notice the deep vanilla note and it was delightful but more strong than what I'm used to. Second time around, I really appreciated the lavender and jasmine florals and was completely enamored by the vanilla on the dry down. I could sniff my wrists all day. The longevity and projection this perfume offers is truly noteworthy and this will be a staple in my collection, along with Le Parfum!

I opened it, sprayed it and stored it. I felt it was too flowery and just not my type. Some months went by and I gave it a real try, meaning I wore it instead of just lightly spraying it. Long story short I get the hype. Pleasant, well blended, rich notes, the lavender is calming and in general I like it when I feel it (which is all day long). It’s great combined with Fairytale body lotion from B&BW.

This Lasts forever and its AMAZING ♥️

Its basically just a little bit sweeter Versace Blue Jeans.

I know barely anything about perfumes, but I've had a few higher-end ones. I bought YSL Black Opium like five days ago, didn't like that it didn't last AT ALL on me, so I got Libre Intense instead, and plan on gifting Black Opium to my mother for her birthday. Anyways, I won't lie, I was a little intimidated by Libre Intense because it just seemed like such a mature, grown-woman smell (which isn't a bad thing). I'm only 20, so I didn't want to seem too big for my britches in this. However, I bought it today, and loved it. Lavender has always been one of my favorite smells, if not my all-time favorite, so I knew I'd like it either way. Now, the lavender isn't very strong in this, but it's still there. Anyways, I've been learning how to layer different perfumes and body sprays and lotions. So along with this, I got Sol De Janeiro's Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 62 body spray, along with BBW's Lavender and Vanilla body lotion. This trio smells AMAZING in my opinion. The Brazilian Crush body spray kind of ages down the Libre Intense in a good way, while not completely taking away the mature aspect of it. And with the lavender and vanilla lotion, I figured that because there's a note of lavender in Libre Intense, and notes of vanilla in both perfume and spray, it would all pair well together. I was right, they all compliment each other in such a nice harmony. Also, I think deodorant is just as important, I use the Old Spice Wilderness with Lavender scent. I do think you really have to think about YSL Libre Intense before you buy, I wouldn't consider it to be a blind buy kind of deal.

I love this fragrance for cold weather, evening, dressy occasions. Vanilla without being immature, the bergamot and citrus notes aren't too astringent on me. The lavendar doesn't stand out on me much as but the orchid does and it plays so nicely with the rich creamy vanilla.

Quickly became one of my favourites once I gave it a shot. I'm not a fan of the original Libre or white floral fragrances in general, so I was really surprised that I was drawn to this scent. It's sultry, sweet and seductive. The lavender brings an edgy unisex vibe that I love, but the vanilla and tonka bean help to sweeten it so it doesn't get carried away smelling like another generic lavender-driven men's cologne. I can't lie, I want to make my boyfriend the test subject and see if this could truly qualify as unisex; I like it better than most fragrances out there because of that androgynous twist. On warm days the lavender and orange blossom help to keep the fragrance fresh and clean, but on cooler days the sweeter notes really come out to play, allowing for this mouthwatering ambery vanilla caramel. Oh, and it lasts freakin forever, I can still smell it on my skin the next day and my clothes even longer.

Simply stunning. This has been my favorite scent for over a year now, can’t get enough of it.. so warm and sexy. Recently I was told at work that I smell like grape soda, which is funny because I can see what she means. In the best way possible of course.. please don’t reformulate, as it seems like it has been already recently, not as long lasting

I'm very late to the Libre party in general. In my defense I tried to take a fragrance break😂. That didn't last and I realized I missed a gem so I needed to rectify it. I wanted something to fill the void of the loss of Muglers Alien Essence Absolue. This fills my loss and then some.

As I wanted something in the same vein, ie loads of vanilla and white flowers. The lavender, tonka, ambergris, citruses, vertiver, and orchid to smooth it all out. I am so happy with this. This is amazing as it develops it's not and I guess we're going with masculine which I don't think is the right word I'd say it's deeper than most female scents.

In that the lavender is spicy but not too much keeping it feminine imo. Not that men can't wear this they totally can and should. Then you get such an envelopment of the white flowers. The Jasmine and orange blossom are heady in the best way. With the mandarin orange which I love and the little bit of sharpness with the vetiver while the orchid smooths it out. Oh heaven.

When it dries down to that spicy vanilla. With a touch of floral while the ambergris gives the best musky scent it's just so intoxicating. It's a constant sniffer for me and you don't need much. I got the 90ml and I also ordered the le parfum. As this is a blind buy I was totally cool with. Not everyone gets lucky and loves it. Even if the notes are right up their alley. Scent is so subjective after all.

For me it's a major major love to where I'll rock it whenever it permits. This scent I wish I would of found sooner, I found it finally. So either way I adore this perfume it's a beast as almost everyone said and love that fact. I like Mugler so you get how strong I like my scents to come and it lasts forever with 3 sprays max. Compliment getter and makes me feel good too. So happy😊

As a lavender fiend I was so hyped up to smell this only to get confused...I couldn't detect lavender, I was stuck on licorice! It reminded me of Diesel's Loverdose, which I wore for years. They both share the same top-middle-base foundation of orange-jasmine-vanilla. Although Loverdose is upfront about having anise and licorice notes, something about the lavender being thrown in did some weird alchemy in my nose. It's beautiful either way, but if you detest licorice I'd recommend testing this first.

I’ve had this for a while and the longer it sits the stronger and more intense it gets. No pun intended. Incredibly sexy warm and lavender forward on me. I just mixed this with Oajan and when I tell you it’s the sexiest smell ever! So rich, luxurious and smooth! Love this .

to my nose it smells like a detergent. all I get is LAVENDER, Tonka Bean, Vanilla and maybe a little bit of citruses.
overhyped.

I personally don't like it. It reminds me of my cousin's baby's smell. Some lavender laundry detergent mixed with intense baby smell. It doesn't stink, and some people might like it. But i dont consider this a safe blind buy. Make sure you try it first. It is very strong and will stick to you and it can cause headaches.

Absolutely stunning fragrance! A warmer, sexier version of the original. Perfect for those colder months. A huge compliment getter and has excellent longevity and projection.❤️

this scent is so rich bitch i love it. i can smell this on my clothes for days after

1980s night club in a bottle. It’s funny I typically love citrus and jasmine scents but this is horrid: cloying, sickly sweet in that nighttime-old-lady-perfume way that only big big designer brands seem to embody. Nothing fresh about this. Definitely a nighttime scent, I can imagine it being really long lasting because it is STRONG holy cow!

I’m new to Libre series. I just recently tried the classic Libre (edp) and was HMMMM I might actually like some white flowers in a frag. I really liked how the lavender plays with all and the green note was calming and fresh, the cedar and musk are also really pleasant, while they’re entirely missing from the pyramid here. As of some years I’m a “slave” of the unisex niche world and quite often lean to masculine smells so that’s what attracted me here - all those reviews about being masculine. So 2 days later I couldn’t sleep because I had to try the rest out, which brings me to the idea that I’m loosing it a little bit, but only a little lol. So I went to the mall - on my shirt I had classic Libre, on my left wrist I spritzed the Le Perfume and on the other this one. I expected the Intense version to be even better than the OG because TONKA and I adore tonka, one of my staples is JM Myrrh&Tonka (when I said masculine I wasn’t joking). The Intense is pure vanilla, tonka and lavender and nothing much else. Which is not necessarily bad but I expected more considering how much I liked the OG. In the dry down this one really resembles classic men’s cologne because of the mix of tonka and lavender which is too straightforward even with the vanilla to soften things a little bit. Again this is not something bad to a person like me yet it’s nothing spectacular and in general not fb worthy for me. It’s nuclear and makes stains on clothes as my sleeve accidentally brushed the space I spritzed, so be careful. As for the Le Parfum it’s well rounded and creamy because of the honey accord, tonka and lavender are not as prominent as here, orange blossom stands out a bit more. They have the same spine but this one is the older evil sister lol. I intend to stick to the OG, for now.

I was stubbornly late to the game. I bought Le Parfum as “my” Libre, blindly, off reviews. I thought she would be enough and I wouldn’t need the other ladies in the lineup. (I’m not collecting anymore, only curating. Let that preface this!)

Well, NOPE! Next it was Libre EDP, holy shit! The fresh lavender-floral bomb we’ve been needing. Then a discovery set with EDT included—she’s a nice girl, too, reserved…crisp, could take it or leave it. And then…there was ✨Intense✨ Sort of an EDP-Le Parfum hybrid, but not. Le Parfum has a lot more going on as far as spice; Intense is smooth and rich. Less sexy (though not at all un-sexy, don’t get it wrong). I see none of the Libres as masculine, which seems to be an unpopular opinion. I smell woman in all four, not “girl,” though. Where pregnancy started the shift in my olfactory and my taste of not only perfume, but also food (irrelevant), the Libre line picked up and finished the job. My signatures, the usual finishing touches to any outfit, or the accompaniment to whatever mood I’m in, they’re no longer who they once were. My Burberrys look at me longingly, wishing to be sprayed (except My Burberry Black, she will always be my main girl). But the Libres have become my side-pieces, for now. I blame pregnancy, I blame entering a new decade of my life; my old hoes just don’t hit like they used to. Libre “freed” me from old memories (and therefore feelings)—some good, which causes yearning that I’d rather not experience, and some not so good, which I’d OBVIOUSLY rather not experience. I’m not 20-something anymore (and haven’t been for nearly six years) and it’s SO official now.

Scent is powerful, and this is aptly named “Intense.” She projects most, lingers longest, does…ALL THE THINGS.

This fragrance is amazing. I sprayed both the original and the intense on scent cards and myself in Macy’s, the original smelled better at that moment, bought it, threw the scent cards in the bag and went home. I happened to get a whiff of the intense scent card when I took the box of the original out the bag and immediately changed my mind. The next day, I went back to Macy's, exchanged my purchase for the intense and have been happy ever since ;-)

I really like this perfume but unfortunately it is too heavy for me. If I spray gently and use it as an evening and party perfume it works. It really fills a room and I appreciate when people around me have it. But for me personally, smelling so much doesn't suit me.

I bought this and was so excited for it. I had never tested it before, but read the reviews. I was expecting something a lot different. At first my expectations and reality clashed and I didn't know what to think. This juice is strong, really strong. It's also very different from most other perfumes I own and love.
I get lavender and orange blossom immediately, a faint hint of orange and then in the drydown it's mostly warm vanilla and lavender.
Picking out individual notes here isn't easy but it's not a fresh scent on me at all, even with the orange and the white florals. It's very warm and cozy without becoming a perfume I'd only wear on colder days. In fact it makes me think of cooler summer evenings or maybe late spring, when the sun is out but the wind is still a little chilly.
I do like this a lot, but my boyfriend loves it even more. I think if it was up to him, I would wear this all year all day every day.
It's sexy in an elegant and sophisticated way.

I love this fragrance but this stuff is nuclear! Lasts forever on my skin. Usually my skin eats fragrance up but not this. Longevity and silage are definitely there. It is a little too sickly sweet on me and I love sweet fragrances but I had to mix it with something woody to give it more character I feel because also everyone loves this one. For good reason it lasts forever and you get a lot of compliments from this one too. Smells like a sugary, spicy, cookie with almonds that have been caramelized with sugar. Very sweet and seductive. One or two sprays max with this or can cause headaches.

This is quite strong, especially the initial blast. It’s not for the faint of heart.
It’s not sweet, soft, girly or anything of that sort. It makes the OG Libre seem meek.
Wearing this you will be making a bold statement. It’s not my cup of tea because it’s too much in the mugler kind of way if you know what I mean.
Overspraying is not necessary and it might make people sick so beware!

Nope. This flanker didnt save the Libre line for me eighter. The drydown has the main Libre DNA. My husband liked it though. Cause its kinda masculine.

Love at first sniff, or so I thought.

Libre Intense is a boozy vanilla scent with lavender and white flowers to give it freshness.

I tested Libre Intense out at Sephora and after one sniff, I immediately bought a 100ml bottle of it. Big mistake. A 30ml would have been more than enough.

I liked Libre Intense and wore it often but after some time I couldn't stand it anymore due to how overpowering the vanilla is. The lavender and white flowers barely lasted a few seconds until the vanilla consumed them, and that's all you're left with: a boozy and strong vanilla smell.

Not a bad perfume by any means. Just a perfume that you really really really really have to love the smell of strong vanilla to fully appreciate and enjoy.

I am no such person, unfortunately.

The smell is amazing, but after 2 hours it stops changing at all. And continues on and on for another 10 hours. It gets annoying for me and bothering, because I never get anosmic to it. For some people it is probably exactly what they are looking for.

I have the same feeling about Clinique Aromatics Elixir, this one smells amazing off the skin, but lasts 24hours at least.

Everytime I wear this, I just wanna sniff my wrist the whole day. It’s so beautiful that it’s distracting. I don’t care for the opening, the DRY DOWN is where it’s at!!! Smells like the richest ambery lavender vanilla on my skin.

I can only do 1-2 sprays max because it’s too powerful lol. Less is more with this scent anyway. I would not want to overspray because that would burn my nostrils. Outstanding projection, sillage, and longevity

This is OMG to die for. I couldn’t stop smelling my hand after testing it. It smelt so edible I was obsessed. Vanilla spice and all things nice. Its soooooo good and I haven’t been so impressed with something for a while like this. It’s a little too pricey but I’ve spent more on things that haven’t lasted as long so I guess worth it in the long run. Will be buying a full bottle and can see myself wearing this for years to come.

I have to say, unlike the original Libre, I don't hate this. It definitely has a stronger cool vanilla note. I think it's quite pleasant, but I wouldn't purchase.

This is my first ever review on a perfume and that says a lot coming from a 35yo perfume lover. Not normally a scent I’d go for but I smelled it on a card at Macys and thought it smelled like sugar and bourbon or some kind of sweet, thick caramelized liquor. I sprayed it on my arm and left. When I say I was addicted, I COULD NOT STOP SMELLING MY ARM ALL DAY AND NIGHT. I even slept with my arm near my face so I could smell it. What kind of sorcery is this?!

So I dove into reviews and while some loved it, many thought it was too mature or headache inducing and preferred the previous versions. I went in again and tried it. SAME EFFECT.

Instead of going home, I went back to buy the 3oz. It’s like this perfume is a siren and she lured me back into her snare! Anymore than 3 sprays of this powerhouse would be too much. I get headaches easily and I can see how this one could have that effect if sprayed liberally. Most people have said it’s not a summer perfume but today was 90 degrees here in CA and this stuff reduces to a sticky, sweet, delicious vanilla caramel liquor filled cupcake with a citrus cream frosting and stems of lavender and jasmine on top. Sex and power in a bottle. I feel like a sexy boss babe. I feel like this is the perfect hot, sweaty, sticky sweet smell I want to have in the summer and the floral, citrus and cozy vanilla I want in the winter. I’m a fan.

I was choosing from Libre edp and Intense, eventually chose to buy Intense mostly because of more positive reviews and now I kinda regret it... It feels heavier and deeper but unfortunately not as complex, fruity and light in general which I really liked in the original. I like the Intense, for me they're still very similar but i'd advise to take time and choose the right one for you.

This is DIVINE. I already loved the Libre EDT but this one has more vanilla so it's right up my alley!

A very innovative scent. We don’t typically see vanilla and lavender perfumes. It’s a beast, lasts a very long time and to sensitive people, it is very headache inducing. I can only spray this sometimes because it can be too much for everyday. My boyfriend is sensitive to smell and hates this as it instantly gives him a headache. I like the intense more than the original as it’s more vanilla. Well done scent and not typical.

I strongly get the lavender note from the beginning till the end. Vanilla note is less prominent on my skin. This is a very fresh lavender scent . I bought this because of the hype and I don’t really get it. Won’t be purchasing this again!

I LOVE this! Honestly, the lavender note smells off on my skin, but I love the sillage so much I would just spray my clothing! This is vanilla-lavender goodness with sweet white flowers. It is sexy and classy at the same time. The longetivity is great, it lasts a whole day, projection is moderate and I get nice whiffs from my shirt several hours after I sprayed it. Now, call me crazy but I find a little similarity with l'interdit rouge (Givenchy) in the air... from the sweet white flowers but they are different regardless.
Gorgeous!

Lavender is not good in this one

The loudest, most opinionated person at the party who goes home early to finish the novel they are reading. You won't win an argument with them but try to do so just to spend more time together. While their brashness can be irritating at times, you frequently are drawn to them and think of them fondly after they've gone.

This is sensual and classy. I love the root beer in the opening. It has a spicy vanilla aspect that still allows the gorgeous dna to shine through. I agree with other reviewers that this is a bit of a boss scent. It feels fancy to me - not something I reach for daily or when casually dressed. I also think this would be fine on a guy. It’s not overly flowery or feminine. I love the regular Libre EDP and the Libre EDT as well. They seem more feminine leaning. The EDT will be beautiful in warmer weather IMO. More floral. I highly recommend the discovery set from Sephora if you’re curious. Each vial is 10 ml. Lovely gift from my sweet daughter. ❤️❤️❤️

Do yourself a favor and just buy Dossier’s dupe for By Killian Love Don’t be Shy, in Floral Marshmallow, or get Bazooka bubblegum fragrance oil off Amazon.

This is not a grown up, sophisticated, or rich fragrance. It’s fun and playful, and smells like yummy Bazooka bubblegum. Nothing unique or distinct about it. It’s hyped up because it’s YSL and you’re mostly buying the name. One good thing is that it lasts ‘til the next morning, and then some. Some scents that smell almost identical:
