With l'Homme Libre, the new version of their (already) classic perfume, YSL revisits the codes of the fresh fougère transforming the original creation, rather sensual and sweet, into something more sparkling and metallic. Following the path of Bleu de Chanel, which brought back on shelves the powerful (and cheap) aromatic metallic DHM notes of the 90's, as seen in Egoiste Platinum and the flood of Hugo Boss fragrances, L'Homme Libre does almost the same with one difference. It has more style and is closer to the violet-basil-soft leather woody freshness of Fahrenheit than to any teen deodorant. Without any overdose of originality (as if freedom stands for conformism) L'Homme libre is actually the descendent of many Creed perfumes, lacking however their strong and sometime discordant harshness.
Opposed to the sweet sensuality of La Nuit de L'Homme, the new creation, L'Homme Libre (Yves Saint Laurent), suggests a powerful trend today - the comeback of the perfumes from the 90's, in a more serene, comfortable version where modern spices like ginger give a sparkle to the cotton sporty transparent facet of the fragrance. You may call it a new … Allure. The CKOne generation is wearing expensive suits and suitcases hoping to define their modern masculinity. They were "unisex" once, today freedom means something very different. You'd be surprised to notice how similar L'Homme Libre (Yves Saint Laurent) is to a perfume from Avon.
