To celebrate in true YSL style, Kiana Beauty has teamed up with one of Australia's most profound Parfum reviewers, EauxSillage to GIVE AWAY one 90mL bottle of the new Yves Saint Laurent Libre Eau de Parfum to a lucky winner.
In line with the Australian release, we asked Nicholas Van Der Sluys, founder of EauxSillage to share and present an expert's opinion on the enticing new fragrance.

What does Libre embody?
Libre in French means free in English. This radiant and hypnotic fragrance celebrates the ultimate luxury, freedom.
It is a gender-bending fragrance for women, a twist on traditionally masculine accords and represents the freedom to live everything to excess, to be your authentic self and to express who you are with no constraints.
Who would expect anything less from the couture house who famously played on the tension between masculine and feminine when they re-designed the smoking tuxedo for women?

What are Libre's fragrance notes?
Libre opens with Lavender essence from France, followed by sparkling mandarin orange and blackcurrant.
It has warm and sensual middle notes of Moroccan orange blossom and jasmine before closing with a glowing base of vanilla to complement the luxurious cedarwood and musk.
The merging of Libre's fragrance notes results in an oriental fougere fragrance that makes an uplifting first impression.
How does Libre smell?
It smells sparkly, bold, new and unexpected.
It feels chic to wear, just like a tailored smoking jacket.
It turns heads and starts conversations.
The bottle
Sexy, with accents of gold and black.
A sharp-angled bottle designed to play on the tension between the masculine and feminine forms. The iconic YSL Cassandre, a statement of luxury, is strikingly bent and nailed into the glass like a jewel.
