FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where PERFUME OIL #159 our duplication of LIBRE lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Libre.

The Dupe Spot 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.

It is sold as a perfume oil — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

At $26 it costs 86% 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 The Dupe Spot 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

What it is chasing: lavender, mandarin orange and black currant up top, lavender, orange blossom and jasmine in the middle, madagascar vanilla, musk and cedar underneath — the shape of Yves Saint Laurent Libre.

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.
