Yves Saint Laurent - L'Homme Libre - Eau de Toilette

[hallway74]

I got a free sample of this from Microsoft and YSL. Anyone else?

[ordealbyfire]

I got a sample of it, and I recommend it... it sort of has a minty smell, which I think makes it perfect for spring/summer. I actually prefer this to La Nuit by YSL.

[Eilisable]

Argh I'm on my mobile - I apologize for that comment. I was saying I wear Prada's Amber Pour Homme also. A few men in my life wear the original YSL. After getting my hands on a sample of this -- I had to get it. It's been about half a day & I've already had people ask me what I'm wearing. I agree with what you said about it being unisex -- I wear a wide range of different scents - but right now, this is one of my new faves! Thanks for this review!

[Eilisable]

I'm a woman & I actually just bought this today. I am a diehard perfumista - the on.y

[IcollectPanini]

I get tons of compliments from men and women on this Cologne. That's how you judge Cologne. I buy Cologne with females in mind.

[IcollectPanini]

Who cares what season it is. If a Cologne smells good the season don't matter!!!!

[1b3j6h]

I might recommend this perfume to someone. It sounds like a really good perfume.

[mohfuzul12]

how long does it last????

[gentsrevs]

@mohfuzul12 It lasts about 8 hours yet I recommend wearing this scent in the summer when the sun can boost it a bit. Now when temperatures are lower it seems to cool down way faster

[teancumrocks]

I think it's a fresher, lighter version of John Varvatos Vintage, just my opinion.

[JuusoTuber]

Hi! My latest fragrance is the new "Hugo Boss Just different". I'm interested in this one as well, but I only got to smell it very briefly at a store. I was wondering if it's similar to the Hugo Boss, maybe even too much?

[gentsrevs]

@JuusoTuber Personally I don't think it it very similar to it so I guess you maybe should really try it before purchasing it. :-)

[charleneee1]

I love this scent! Do you think someone who loves lovesss acqua di gio will love this? Or what would you suggest? :)

thank you!

[gentsrevs]

@charleneee1 Well I think the aqua di gio is a possible alternative to this evne though the pepper is missing in it ... also I could easily think of cool water by davidoff or bvlgari blv

[charleneee1]

@gentsrevs He's so attached to acqua di gio! He needs a change. I'll check out blv! But I think this is a good change :) thanks again!

[her0ism86]

hows the projection and longevity on this?

[gentsrevs]

@her0ism86 On this scent is it "ok" ... honestly I would only wear this fragrance when the sun is shining and the temperature is a bit higher because then this fragrance really shows it's talent.

[gentsrevs]

@her0ism86 This scent last about 8 hours yet I highly recommend wearing it in the summer when the sun can boost the fragrance a bit. It seems to be cooling down way faster now when temperatures are lower

[purpleize051]

i sprayed it on my wrist and after few hours i get a coolwater/GIT vibe

[H4rdstyl30wns]

have you smelled l'homme gingembre? is that summer to? if so which is better

[gentsrevs]

@H4rdstyl30wns I did smell the gingembre yet I missed to buy it. Appearantly the stores here don't have it anymore ... it is a great sommer fragrance yet I personally prefer libre due to it's super vibrant, peppery chraracter.

[bachatuuu]

its rather sweet but green at the same time. sweetness dies down a bit as it gets to the heart. it reminds me of Egoiste Platinum in the opening. However i smell a smoky note in there, not sure what it is. The big disappointment on this one, is that it seems close to the skin.

[inf0isFree]

Thank you very much for a great review, especially that I haven't yet tried it yet !

I also loved your review of Prada Amber Intense, which I own and love. Keep it up!

Greetings from Montreal BTW. Oh and may I ask which of the two ( Prada or Libre) do you prefer? Perhaps too different and both have their places in a fragrance wardrobe? Thanks

[gentsrevs]

@inf0isFree I am very honored that you liked the review so much. Keeps me motivated.

Personally I'd prefer the Prada, simply because it's the more classic smell. I find libre is too set to be a summer fragrance

[inf0isFree]

@gentsrevs Thanks for your swift reply. I'm glad you answered Prada haha.....can't wait to try Libre though.

[inf0isFree]

Thank you very much for a great review, especially that I haven't yet tried it yet !

[TheCompanies]

Out of sheer curiousity, which is your favorite version of L'Homme?

[gentsrevs]

@TheCompanies personally I'd go for the la nuit de l'homme, le parfum

[gentsrevs]

@3400josepepe I'd most definetely go for the Libre ... it's much more vibrant in the sun ...

[sweetestpea72]

I will give you full marks for your review.well done.will try it and see but am not sure I will be buying it as I got way too many of such scents anyway but will be checking out more of your reviews.On Fragrantica it is listed as Woody Spicy but am not sure that concurs with your assessment.there must be a mistake somewhere.

If anyone dislikes your video it must be the scent they dislike and not your review.will be in touch.thanks

[gentsrevs]

@sweetestpea72 many many thanks for the nice words. I wouldn't disagree about the woodiness of this fragrance even though I find it never loses it's clear and aquatic base.

[professerht]

Hmm didnt know this came out think ill look for it in town to have a sniff

[topgear1138]

Saw this scent in a store today for the first time. Very nice fragrance and it would look great next to the normal L'Homme and La Nuit.

[TheHehehaha3]

Thnx maain really helpfull:D

[TheHehehaha3]

Allright, tomorrow i will go to Douglas en sniff Bvlgari Aqva, Dior Homme Sport en L'Homme Libre, do you think i should smell another one?

[gentsrevs]

@TheHehehaha3 If you don't own it yet definetely give Dior Homme Intense a try.

[TheHehehaha3]

With whitch fragrance would you compare this? and what about introducing a rating system

[gentsrevs]

@TheHehehaha3 Difficult question because I find this fragrance reminds me of all the standard aquatic and fresh one's such as aqua di gio, cool water, splash and aqva yet it's really something on it's own. For when you like one of the before mentioned scents at least give it a sniff, it'll be worth it.

I don't really want to rate fragrances as they all are sth. on their own. I could only give notes for quality, durability and bottle.

[dracdoc]

Excellent! I was going to buy it anyway, but now I have something to look forward to. Only downer is that its towards fall and I may not get to wear this for half a year.

[gentsrevs]

@dracdoc I am looking forward to your review then :-) ... true, I wish there would be some more summer to really enjoy this vibrant and active piece a bit more

[attackattack100]

wow ive never seen this ysl cologne before. do you mind telling me where you got it?

[gentsrevs]

@attackattack100 Hey! ... Got that scent from douglas (did an unboxing review of my package aswell)

This fragrance is brand new and got release within the last week so don't worry if you haven't seen it so far

[erichvons]

I just got it :) but its a bit late if its supposed to be user in summer time only...

Btw I got a Nuit de l'Homme to, I found really amazing !

[gentsrevs]

@erichvons Superb good to hear that the L'homme range of products gets more and more fans :-)

Well I just found it to be a summer time only fragrance. Sure you won't do anything wrong wearing this for others seasons too but for me I need some sun on the skin to wear this scent :-)

[DistinguishedGent1]

You love YSL fragrances, as do I. Great review man.

[gentsrevs]

@DistinguishedGent1 Thank you a lot ... yeah somehow all the ysl scents really fit something that I want in a scent :-)

[Atmosphereification]

Interesting. Will def. try it out when I can get my hands on it. Thanks for the review.

[gentsrevs]

@Atmosphereification Leave a comment on what you think of it afterwards. So far I really adore that scent

[Kruemel952]

Great review! :)

Definitely need to get my hands on this or manage to get a decant somehow sounds very interesting! :)

[gentsrevs]

@Kruemel952 Thank you :-)

Whenver you did try it leave a comment and report what you got out of it please
