About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Eau Libertée Intense (1975) is a unisex Citrus Aromatic composed by Mich. Its listed pyramid places petitgrain, vetiver, aldehydes, bergamot, neroli, hedione, cedar, and musk together in the top—an unusually dense opening that reads as a bright, green citrus with a soapy aldehydic shimmer and a dry woody hum from the start. Expect a linear, old-school structure rather than a tiered drydown; the citrus and woody facets dominate, with aromatic and fresh-green accents close behind.
Collectors who enjoy vintage citrus aromatics—think classic colognes with a bitter-green edge—will find this compelling. It suits wearers who prefer crisp, unisex freshness over sweetness, and works well in warm weather or as a daytime signature. Because the composition leans on petitgrain, vetiver, and cedar, it can feel austere on some skin; those who dislike sharp green openings may find it bracing. The aldehydes and musk soften the finish just enough to keep it wearable, but this is a scent for someone who wants structure, not comfort.
中文簡介
Eau Libertée Intense(1975)係 Yves-Saint-Laurent 出嘅中性柑橘芳香調,由 Mich 調配。香調表將 petitgrain、vetiver、醛、佛手柑、neroli、hedione、雪松同麝香全部放喺前調,所以一開出就係明亮帶綠嘅柑橘,有醛嘅皂感光澤,同時滲住乾木底蘊。結構偏向線性、舊派,唔係層層遞進嘅三調;柑橘同木質主導,芳香同清新綠意緊隨其後。
適合鍾意經典柑橘古龍、追求苦綠邊緣嘅收藏家。氣質清爽中性,唔甜,啱暖天或日間用。因為 petitgrain、vetiver 同雪松比重高,部分人會覺得偏嚴肅;唔鍾意尖銳綠調開場嘅話要留意。醛同麝香令收尾柔和少少,但整體仍係重結構多過重舒適。
