βFeminine (ish) lavendar. Not a Libre clone to me, which in my book is a good thing. They share sweet lavender note but that is basically it, the foundation is entirely different. This smells more natural, more feminine, rounded and complex than Libre to me (or ambroxan or whatnot spoilt Libre for me, who knows). And well. even if price and juice were similar (which is not, by far), I'd prob pick this one for the bottle hehe. Very cute.Still not the perfection of lavender am looking for but closest so far (why men get this note and womens frags so rarely?)β
βI tried this on today and really liked it. It didn't remind me of Libre at all. Only after I've read some reviews that mention its resemblance to Libre did I find some similarity but only in dry down, in my 3rd hour or so...I actually like this perfume better. Libre has something that bothers me..I like it altogether but some sweetness keeps coming forward just a little bit too much for my liking. This one has more freshness and I prefer that.I will have to test it again just to make sure, but I think this could be my new favorite.β
βTo me, this perfume is a fusion of Libre and Paradiso Assoluto, but with a slightly more citrusy touch. It has great longevity and is overall a very good choice if you like this kind of DNA.β
