Nice but not great

Libre Santal Couture by Yves Saint LaurentYves Saint LaurentLibre Santal Couture4.04 ratings

I love the Libre line, and have/had nearly every flanker. This is a nice addition, but not great and feels a bit too minimalist for me. I actually think the lavender could be dialed up a bit to be more in line with the others and add some some freshness. As is, the orange blossom and sandalwood being dominant make this a vaguely generic slightly sweet sandalwood fragrance.

The other flankers all had something unique to them in the line-up; there is nothing particularly interesting about the sandalwood as presented. I actually like the combo of layering this with either Libre Berry Crush or Libre Vanille Couture.

    I haven't smelled anything outside of the original Libre but the notes of the Libre L'Absolu Platine looks really interesting

      Platine is probably my favorite flanker. Really intense lavender, but not too sharp.
