“This is exactly what I mean when i say summer fragrance. Flowery, fruity, fresh. I can see the sun shining on me when I smell it. It's fresh, it's elegant, much better than the original Libre. I can smell some patchouli in there, which is surprising but incredible. It doesn't really smell like vanilla that much, though. This is going to be my summer signature perfume definitely.”
“This is currently my all-time favourite. It smells very luxurious and elegant. It’s also my most complimented perfume. 1-2 sprays are definitely enough, because it lasts very long and has silage, for that reason, the bottle also lasts forever! Compared to the OG YSL Libre, the floral scents are more toned down and vanilla shines through. Absolutely love it and a must have for every vanilla girl!”
“I really like this one! Although I don’t smell loads of vanilla, which is one of my favourite notes, the blend with the citric notes is really nice. It reminds me of summer, of those lovely smelling sunscreens.Although I’ve used it during the summer, I think it’s a really nice scent for the colder months too.It’s a very elegant fragrance, without being too serious or mature.The longevity is good and I’d say the same about projection.”

Tharwah Gold has slightly less sillage and longevity than Libre Intense, with a more muted base projection. The heart notes are nearly identical, but the original's base feels more complex and creamy due to superior quality ingredients.

Sillage
The clone delivers adequate longevity (5-6 hours vs. original's 7-8 hours) but lacks nuance in the floral accord and cedar warmth in the dry-down. Sillage is slightly more linear and less evolving compared to the original's dynamic progression.

Sillage
The clone delivers similar notes but with noticeably reduced longevity and sillage compared to YSL's more robust formulation. The tuberose and jasmine bloom less prominently in the heart, and the base drydown feels less luxurious and creamy.
