You can’t take a trip without the perfect scent, like YSL Beauty LIBRE Santal, the collection’s first floral woody fragrance, built around an exclusive warm sandalwood accord that adds new depth and sensuality to LIBRE’s iconic floral signature. “LIBRE has always been about subverting a classic fougère into a feminine fragrance. With Santal Couture, the challenge was to turn a masculine woody facet into a feminine signature. We worked on enveloping the sensual facets of the sandalwood with the feminine heart of LIBRE. The result is intensely velvety, sensual, and addictive,” LIBRE Master Perfumers Anne Flipo and Carlos Benaïm shared.
