Introducing Libre Santal Couture, YSL Beauty’s new limited-edition eau de parfum. The first floral-woody scent in the Libre collection, centered around an exclusive warm sandalwood. 

The fragrance is crafted with the quintessence of nature’s preciousness to create a one-of-a-kind twist on Libre’s floral signature scent.

YSL Beauty introduces its next limited-edition eau de parfum. 

Inspired by the YSL wardrobe, the Libre Santal Couture bottle brings a runway aesthetic: sleek, brown, with a modern edge à la YSL. The new bottle echoes the sculptural, woody facets of sandalwood and the elemental tones of nature.  

The iconic Cassandre envelops the glossy brown bottle in sleek gold. Bent to follow the sharp angle of the bottle’s edges, it represents an object of timeless luxury. Classic symmetry gets reinvented as a daring open side creates an asymmetric silhouette.  

This commitment to a more sustainable future extends beyond the gardens to YSL Beauty’s drive towards refillable fragrances.

 Selected fragrances within the Libre range are available in a refillable format, a conscious design that allows consumers to save 58% glass, 59% plastic, and 42% paper when opting for a refill over a new bottle. 

Anne Flipo and Carlos Benaïm, Libre Master Perfumers, said:

“Libre has always been about subverting a classic fougère into a feminine fragrance. With Santal Couture, the challenge was to turn a masculine woody facet into a feminine signature. We worked on enveloping the sensual facets of the sandalwood with the feminine heart of Libre. The result is intensely velvety, sensual, and addictive.”

Fragrance notes include lavender, orange blossom, and sandalwood. 

In a new campaign, Global Ambassador Dua Lipa embodies her full power in nature. 

Dua Lipa, YSL Beauty Global Ambassador, commented:

“Shooting this campaign in the South African desert felt like the perfect visual representation for the new Libre Santal Couture – it’s warm, primal, and undoubtedly strong. Steady as the earth beneath you. That’s the kind of frequency this new chapter of Libre exudes, and it’s my latest obsession.”
