FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Velora scores 7.5 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Libre.

Mod Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Libre's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

At $35 it costs 81% less than Libre.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Mod Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

Yves Saint Laurent Libre is lavender, mandarin orange and black currant at first, lavender, orange blossom and jasmine at its heart and madagascar vanilla, musk and cedar at the end. Mod Fragrances set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • lavender
  • mandarin orange
  • black currant

Heart

  • lavender
  • orange blossom
  • jasmine

Base

  • madagascar vanilla
  • musk
  • cedar
For the one who refuses to be tamed, craving a bold lavender-and-vanilla contrast that feels cool, sophisticated and unmistakably, freely feminine.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
