Liberte (for women)

sjanira

This is my type of fragrance. I cannot stop smelling my wrist right now!! Someone gave me a sample of this and I'm so glad she did. It's one of the most delicious scents in my collection.

I guess I would rename this one "Orange Sugar" as that is what it basically is...at least at first sniff. Not that orange sugar is a bad thing because it is not, in fact it's quite pleasant.

This does evolve and move past the sweet stuff. The addition of patchouli and spices are well worth the wait and blow away the initial sugar high. It's still sweet but the spice adds a burst of flavor and the patchouli makes it a tad herbal. More spicy orange compote than caramel candy.

I was not disappointed and will wear it this summer. PLUS, the TJMaxx price tag makes it easy to spritz my heart out.

The top note is like spicy dried orange peel, i can sense a strong green herbalness, but then it quickly fades to a sugary lemon almond scent.
The drydown reminds me a bit of les belles almond amour by nina ricci.
This perfume is not that long lasting, its nice but its not fantastic.

Annica

A very nice fragrance. The basenote is fantastic. I love this perfume.

My immediate thoughts when I tried this perfume were, "it smells just like an orange flavoured icypole".

As you may have guessed, Liberte is a very sweet and orangey scent. It's not what I would describe as a sexy fragrance, however it is very comforting, casual and warm.

The citrus notes are quite intense when you first spray Liberte, but it mellows into a soft and sugary orange with the sweet and tropical note of frangipani.
The drydown is quite spicy, but that is to be expected when you look at the notes listed.

The overall scent is quite luminous and fresh. When I smell this and look at the bottle, for some strange reason it reminds me of beach parties. Perhaps this is because Liberte is a celebration in a bottle.

I have a very high opinion of Cacharel and their fragrances, and this scent certainly did not disappoint.

I tested Liberte out several times on paper during the winter to see what it was like. All I could smell was a patchouli similar to Angels so I never tried it on despite loving the other notes. I found this for $8 so I decided to give it a shot and buy it.

Let me just say WOW! Of all the perfumes ive tried so far this one you HAVE to wear to get the effect! My bestfriend was right! I do get a Lolita Lempicka type smell. It does smell of patchouli but with more going on than it did on paper. I get lots of frangipani flower and sweetness from the fruits and sugar cane. The dry down is smokey, sweet and warm from the patchouli, vanilla and vetiver. It has great lasting power. I can see this being good for winter or summer cause its warm yet citrusy.

My interpretation of the bottle, after smelling the fragrance, is as follows:
-a white base, with tons of sugar and heavy white florals
-the yellow middle:an attempt of citrus juice, but turned to a sticky syrup when has contact with the sugar
-the top: incandescent fruit peel
-the metallic ornament on the cap: like a seal on a package, protecting the sickeningly sweet content of any influences(like skin pH or weather or something, anything, that could give flexibility to this fragrance). Also, it's like a carnivorous flower:once you're into this by spraying, it stops smelling only after you're dead with so much burning jam.
But that's only my opinion, and I see that there are some of you who actually think that "Liberte" is fit for summer...

My next buy on the list of desired fragrances.
Had a shop assistant convince me to spray some on my skin and let it wear off a bit.
I simply fell in love with a completely new set ot sensations-very delicate trace of whatever fruit you may expect, the dominance of the sweetness of sugar cane (I presume) wears off to give in to the loveable scent of vanilla and spices with a only trace of patchouli....
Makes me want bite my wrist off :)
A must-have fragrance for spring and...autumn...

I just bought this today. Oh, heaven! I love the sweet citrus topnotes that are tempered just a bit- perhaps its the sugar- so that they smell juicy and peachy instead of sharp. The floral comes out a minute later- just a little sweet and exotic. Finally, a warm, rich vanilla emerges that ties this all together. I will happily add this one to my rotation.

Pretty close to perfection. Has the lovely refreshing and at the same time naughtily bitter citrus thing going on, very much like CK Truth and on the other hand has this fiery, but not overly spicy, delicious T.M. Angel side to it. Stays fresh on my skin all through the day until fades to tempting chocolate by the night. Usually I have a strange reaction with otherwise lovely fragrances with prominent citrus notes- they make my stomach growl (e.g. CK Truth, Versace Bright Crystal etc), but that doesn't happen with this one. Great for winter, but I wouldn't rule it out in summer either...Like the naughtier sister of Armand Basi's Red. To MandyCat: I'd say Lolita is much more sugary sweet with less citrus to balance it out nicely.

Ester

Really nice scent - fresh, sweet and optimistic. For casual use.

Juliette has a gun

I've worn this for a while, a remarkable caramello-toffee note or whatever, very warm and pleasant. Like a bar of chocolate with orange peel in it. Quite surprising!

rheea oana

I read that this fragrance represents what the daughter of the Anais Anais woman should wear!!A more modern up to date frgagrance for the free spirited, carefree amazon woman of today!!!
Ok...I hear you...but it sounds a bit pompous to me!

Liberte in my humble opinion is an unsophisticated fragrance for all types of corageous women...
On what I agree is that it is a chic bohemian...The neo-clasic, romantic, baroque,gothic air of the bohemian gypsy artist fused with the parisienne chic style!

This is emphasized by the composion: the fragrance starts with a bitter orange feel that is coverting into an fusion, a merging of sugary-honey flowers...
The base notes does bare the mark of a Olivier Polge fragrance,it's similar to Burberry's The Beat dry down but without the iris..just a smooth balmy scent composed of that familiar vetiver-patchouli-vanilla scent!
A major diference is that bitter orange sensation that persists in the dry down giving a more invigorating zingy note in the end that is truly the essence of Liberte!!

I just want this one SO MUCH! I always put it on when I find testers in stores. I think it smells different to Ralph Rocks. Ralph is too acidic smelling to me where as Liberte is soft and wears into the vanilla after not too long. It's orangey without being too zesty.

angelahta

Very sweet fragrance, but not long lasting for me. The orange here is delicate, totally different from Ralph Rocks.

Taliera

Smells like Ralph Rocks because of the citrus notes, but more mature. A nice fragrance - although I wouldn't buy it since I already have Ralph Rocks.

Nadja

So strong and sensual in the same time...Amazing one...
Long lasting for me...

wildflower

Very easy to wear. Not very long lasting, but I find it very nice. Vanilla in the base smooths the fragrance very pleasantly. Its similar to Guccis rush and Miss dior cherie, but not as sharp and crispy as the other two.

amanda

its not my favourite, doesent smell bad, but fades away very fast, and doesent have time to grow out, and show all notes. its quite simple.
