Orange blossom lovers, please get your nose on this beautiful creation. It’s floral but also fluffy at the same time, the marshmallow note is so lovely in this, balanced with the civet to add more depth and dare i say mystery. I’d suggest you test on skin though because LDBS is very dependent on your skin chemistry. My only issue with this is the longevity & siliage. It is super frustrating loving a scent that just won’t last! I even bought the newly released body cream and shower gel which smell exactly like the perfume (yay) but it just won’t fricken last. I don’t think i’ll be repurchasing a third bottle though just because it’s so expensive & you will always need to overspray. Lastly due to the civet being in here, it is in my humble opinion super hard to dupe. I bought Fakhama by Maison Asrar while it is lovely & honestly pretty close…. it’s still missing the “it” factor of LDBS.

I don’t usually like fruity fragrances at all as i feel they can turn quite sour or synthetic on me but Leisure in Paradise turned me into a believer. This fragrance is so creamy, i would like to describe it as a a fruit smoothie with a ton of cream on top. I’ve noticed though on my skin the creamy laconic notes pop out more & on clothes i get more of the fruits. I love her! I’m on my second bottle which is rare for me as an avid perfume collector. This is the perfect gourmand fragrance for summer.

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.
