Performance notes and sources
Libre

An account explicitly identifies the original Libre Eau de Parfum and reports 8–10 hours. The 6–9 hour band is conservative and does not use Intense or Le Parfum reports. Editorial estimate from retrieved accounts; reports vary and no representative consensus was measured. Earlier assessment: Exact EDP has moderate diffusion reports but unresolved timed persistence; EDT/Le Parfum excluded. Editorial estimate from retrieved wearer accounts, not a measured consensus. Performance varies by skin, application and version. Accord ratings were not reassessed.

Léonie recalls Libre's lavender-and-orange-blossom contrast. Blackcurrant adds a fruity edge near the opening, with vanilla, musk and cedar continuing into a similar warm floral drydown.
