Libre Vanille Couture

Sweet, vanilla, white floral, lavender, citrusy, boozy, rum, luminous, feminine, sensual, seductive, sexy, charming, whimsical, dreamy, delightful, alluring, tempting, intoxicating, addictive, intriguing, inviting, cozy, comforting On me this opens floral with aromatic lavender and sweet orange blossom. The heart blooms with rich bourbon vanilla and boozy rum which melts into a smooth and sensual vanilla caviar at the base that’s tinged with the lavender and orange blossom. This is absolutely gorgeous! This is what the OG Libre should have been! It’s less sharp and much smoother with the additional vanilla. This Vanilla Couture, Le Parfum, and the new Berry Crush are my favorites of the whole line! I expected that this would be my favorite alongside Le Parfum, but Berry Crush surprised me as I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it’s gorgeous too! Vanilla Couture obviously shares similarities with the others in the Libre line. I also am reminded of Burberry Goddess which to me is a less floral, and more fresh spicy vanilla.

The apple has fallen far from the tree. The fragrance is silky-smooth, wrapped in creamy vanilla. It feels warm, cozy, and comforting. Lavender is only subtly perceptible, perhaps as much through expectation as through presence. The rum accords are equally smoothed out, lending the composition a touch of weight and depth. Like the original, it offers long-lasting performance, yet wears far more intimately. It could easily stand on its own as a new creation rather than a flanker of Libre.

I’m not a big fan of the original or intense as they pull extremely masculine & screechy on me. I know it was a me problem because when my friends wear it, it smells divine on them. Took the risk & ordered it as there are not much bottles left floating around. It was a love at first spray for me. Finally a Libre that smells good on me! The lavender is not screechy, it’s sweet, so yummy but not in the gourmand sense. It smells so feminine & fresh but with a sweetness that ties everything so perfectly together. It still has the Libre dna but much more refined in my opinion. This is very mass appealing & i totally get the hype. Sometimes though i do notice it gets a TOUCH of masculine on me but not to the point of concern honestly. Smells so so good when it warms up on skin, i find it way more special & intriguing. I have also recently fell in love the Le Parfum after this gem.
