Lavender gone couture. A fougère structure in a gold-collar bottle — honeyed, loud, office-adjacent.

What it inspired

8 inspired-by alternatives

Independent fragrances made to evoke Libre — not the original, and not made by Yves Saint Laurent. Match percentages are desk estimates.

Highest desk score first; where scores tie, houses we work with come first, then the desk's match estimate (best value: match and per-ml saving). Desk scores and match bands are this desk's own estimates — not customer reviews, not lab tests. Sold-out bottles sit last. How we rank

Some shop links are commission links: The D.I. may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. Inspirations are listed top-rated first (the house's own customer reviews, otherwise our desk score); where ratings tie, houses we work with come first.
