YSL Libre Florals and Flames edp review

I am in love with YSL Libre Floral & Flames edp for the spring and summer seasons! Possibly beyond! Although categorized as a fresh floral, this acts as a spicy floral when on the skin. I am in love!

YSL Libre Floral & Flames edp combines fragrance notes of palm-tree flower accord, lily flower accord, vanilla, and orange blossom accord. This creates a warm, spicy floral experience perfect for warm weather; and also moderate temps. Love!

Since this is an eau de parfum formula, YSL Libre Floral & Flames lasts about ten hours on my skin. The spicy scent ends sooner, around six hours, and then you are left with a beautiful warm floral fragrance for the remaining, roughly four hours.

There are a few sizes of the YSL Libre Floral & Flames edp fragrance available, including a travel size you can take on airplanes. Love that! I purchased the one-ounce bottle, which is pictured above.

So, if you are looking for a new spicy floral, this is the one! It will also make a fabulous gift. Love!

Thanks for stopping by!

Top classic perfumes and best selling perfumes

Throughout the decades there have been fragrance trends, hot selling perfume products, and heavily advertised fragrances. Despite this money-making industry and push to make a perfume popular, there are certain fragrance brands, designers, and scents which have withstood the test of time, changing tastes, trends, and lack of heavy advertising. These are the classics and the best-selling fragrances of our time.

Chances are, you have heard of most, if not all, of these perfumes. There are different levels of popular and classic fragrances. We have pure perfume, eau de parfum, eau de toilette, cologne, and eau de cologne. When you sort through these timeless scents, you will also see price points barely over one hundred dollars and others in the hundreds; as if they are trying to be a thousand dollars! This means, there is a classic fragrance in every price point, and for everyone. You won’t have to break the bank to purchase an investment fragrance. Love that!

What I love about these classic perfumes is that they transcend generation. Fragrances which were popular in the 1980s are still popular now, which means the silent gen, boomers, GenX, Millennials, and GenZ are all fans of these timeless perfumes. Isn’t that fabulous? We might not agree on many topics, but we can all agree a beautiful fragrance transcends time and generation.

I showcased my favorite best-selling fragrances in the collage above, but there are many more! Scroll through the shopping widget below to see all the fragrances which are classic, best-selling, and have been around for ages.

What is your favorite classic perfume? I love don’t be shy by Kilian, Chanel no. 5 and everything from Lancome.
