Since its debut in 2019, LIBRE has embodied a bold exploration of freedom and femininity, each iteration adding a new dimension, from the iconic floral fougere intensity of the Eau de Parfum to the sun-kissed warmth of Flowers & Flames. Now, LIBRE L'Eau Nue introduces an innovative alcohol-free formula, capturing the essence of a sun-drenched Mediterranean summer. The First Alcohol-Free LIBRE Fragrance Yves Saint Laurent Beauty is proud to introduce LIBRE L'Eau Nue, the new alcohol-free fragrance. Summer freedom in a scent, for your skin. The beauty of Mediterranean nature encapsulated in a bottle. Pulpy citruses, a sultry orange blossom. The scent of an endless summer day lasting all day long on your skin. Beyond a perfume, LIBRE L'Eau Nue is a breakthrough caring fragrance that enhances the skin thanks to its oil-in-water formula. A radiant glow. A softer touch. A blissful sensorial experience. Highly concentrated in this new alcohol-free formula, the pulp and zest of green mandarin and bergamot from Calabria give L'Eau Nue its invigorating top notes. Starring in L'Eau Nue as never before, LIBRE's signature orange blossom unleashes its full, raw power from the first spray until the end of the day. Captured in YSL's Ourika Community Gardens in Morocco, an exclusive Ourika orange blossom accord conjures the sun-kissed fragrance of the flowers in the air. 'LIBRE L'Eau nue is an exclusive exercise on LIBRE. We were lucky to compose with an alcohol-free base, an oil-in-water formula that reveals unique and exclusive olfactory properties, with ingredients that feel hand-picked. It is a flash of freshness wrapped in a juicy, sensual, sun-gorged note. An addictive fragrance you'll keep wanting to reapply.' — Anne Flipo and Carlos Benaïm, Master Perfumers of LIBRE. IFF. L'Eau Nue is more than a fragrance. Developed over two years with more than 60 formulas tested, this new incarnation of LIBRE is a true tour-de-force achieved by Master Perfumers Anne Flipo and Carlos Benaïm, alongside YSL Beauty laboratories. Enriched for the first time with the exclusive vegetal extract of Moroccan orange blossom from YSL's Ourika Community Garden, l'Eau Nue uniquely encapsulates the glowing and smoothing essence of LIBRE's iconic flower.

The Design: A Radical Gold & White Statement With LIBRE L'Eau Nue, the It-couture bottle designed by Suzanne Dalton turns radiant white to reflect the purity of the water-based fragrance within. A smooth, opaque white ceramic finish protects the precious formula and captures the summer light. Bent to follow the sharp angle of the bottle and nailed to the glass – a prowess of engineering – the golden YSL Cassandre evokes the beaming light of the sun. In another light-catching detail, a precision-cut glass V underlines the décolletage of the Y. Cutting deep into the glass of the geometric bottle, it is as trim and streamlined as a tailored Saint Laurent tuxedo jacket. Adding a touch of couture asymmetry, the slanted black cap that crowns the bottle accents the sleek golden chain wound around its neck. Because the YSL woman feels free to wear chains. As long as they're as golden as the summer sun. Anyway, she can break them whenever she wants. Visit YSL Beauty's official website for more details.

Scent of the summer: YSL Beauty's first-ever alcohol-free fragrance, LIBRE L'eau Nue, makes a spectacular splash
More than just a fragrance, but rather, a sensation. These are the words that come to mind upon experiencing the LIBRE L'eau Nue for the first time; a distinct moment in time that plays out within one of the many villas located on the sprawling grounds of Anantara Desaru Coast. In a generously air-conditioned room, I lift the blotter to my nose and am enveloped instantly in a pleasant wave of heat. Succulent green mandarin and bergamot comes through first, bringing with it a jolt of vibrancy. Then, a gentle descent into sultry orange blossom. Its ambery warmth feels all-encompassing, leaving a distinct impression of sun-warmed skin and intimacy. 'LIBRE L'eau Nue is an exclusive exercise on LIBRE. We were lucky to compose with an alcohol-free base, an oil-in-water formula that reveals unique and exclusive olfactory properties, with ingredients that feel hand-picked,' elucidates Anne Flipo and Carlos Benaïm, the master perfumers behind the brand's exciting new scent. 'It is a flash of freshness wrapped in a juicy, sensual, sun-gorged note. An addictive fragrance you'll keep wanting to reapply.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by YSL Beauty Official (@yslbeauty) Indeed, compelling is the best way to describe the LIBRE L'eau Nue. Its release marks a new frontier within YSL Beauty's aromatic arsenal, boasting a never-before-explored formula as well as a revamped bottle design that reflects this impressive milestone. A boon for your complexion and tresses It's safe to say that there are plenty of reasons as to why a brand would want to delve into alcohol-free scents. In the case of YSL Beauty, it was primarily to meet the needs of consumers with sensitivities to alcohol. However, the maison didn't stop there—instead, inspired by Moroccan skin rituals, they decided on producing a perfume that would sink into the skin like a serum, granting unparalleled radiance and shine to both the hair and body. Delightfully lightweight and long-lasting, its spritz radius might be shorter than its alcoholic counterparts but is nowhere lacking in potency. For optimal application, hold it close against the pulse points and press down gently. Its dry-down leaves behind a practically imperceptible sheen that dissipates within seconds, and without any residual tackiness. For those seeking a particularly indulgent time, knead the lightweight solution in as you would a massage oil. Skin is left feeling soft, supple, and well-scented—a must-have for a sweltering day out.

This exquisite creation by Susan Dalton comes in an opaque white vessel that shields the invaluable formula from heat damage. Its gold detailing, however, captures and reflects light beautifully, revealing a precision-cut glass V that underlines the décolletage of the YSL logo. Embedded deep within the glass of the bottle, 'it is as trim and streamlined as a tailored Saint Laurent tuxedo jacket.' Summer lovin' To embody the vigour and passionate qualities of the LIBRE L'eau Nue is YSL Beauty brand ambassador, Dua Lipa. In an official campaign video, the accomplished songbird is lensed diving into the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean landscape, skin glistening under the light—in part due to exertion and, naturally, the LIBRE L'eau Nue.
