The Scoop
Leonie by Maison Alhambra captures the bright, citrus-forward character of Libre with a similar aldehydic freshness and comparable base structure. The heart note warmth is reasonably close, though the hedione's creamy sweetness may feel slightly softer in the clone. Overall, it's a respectable recreation that maintains the original's essence.
Key Differences
The clone may lack some of the original's projection and longevity, with the aldehydic top notes potentially fading quicker. The cedar and vetiver base notes may appear less defined or slightly less woody compared to YSL's refined composition.

What wearers say
“A really amazing clone of YSL's Libre for under $20? Say less.I really love this and I think it's very similar to the OG. Doesn't last as long but I think it's worth the hype.”
“I want to gate keep this perfume. The projection is just amazing. When I sprayed it for the first time, I did not catch the ysl scent, but after a few seconds, it really smelled like YSL LIBRE. I washed my hands 4 times and the smell still lingered. I am amazed with this perfume. Maison Alhambra did it again. I first bought the dupe of versace versense from Maison alhambra and it was 99.90% similar. I can say that if you can’t afford ysl libre, buy this instead. It’s 95% similar. I can’t wait to try their Chants tenderina.”
“I own YSL Libre intense, and was hoping to find a cheaper dupe that I could wear often without worrying about money. This is an admirable dupe indeed, but did y’all know that there’s a Léonie intense too??? I’ll need to check that one out asap.”
