While its totally contemporary and standard, almost, it still has a bit of that good ol’ Cacharel queerness. It’s strange to smell this, think I know something like it and then realise I might not because it’s always changing.
At points it’s like Cinéma with her Hollywood glamour, vanilla/citrus class and straight up elegance… and then it turns to citric sugar. A bit too sweet for my liking… but still, quite lovely. Not too long lasting, which I like.
Would probably go really well on top of Sexiest Scent on the Planet.
Probably lasts around 2 hours. Projects for around half that time. Probably wouldn’t pay too much for it. Cloying, sort of… would be nice on a hot or cold day.
Wesinvivatams – :
Starts out very powerful and intense but, like most citrus based scents it does not last. The dry-down is a nice spicy vanilla that is gorgeous and very wearable. If the opening makes you nervous, give it a bit of time to develop. This one is definitely not linear.
Redaarenrynus – :
Been wearing this often and it smells so good especially the drydown. I havent seen it anywhere I hope they relaunch this one. It smells of spicy orange to me …I like.
оля – :
This scent was my signature 6 years back. It made me feel confident and feminine. I always got tons of compliments for it from people on the street – silage was unbelievable.
I was heartbroken when it was discontinued.
VasiliY_Honda – :
This is very beautiful + with interesting development on my skin. First spray is a blast of orange, slightly bitter but at the same time sweet. It then develops into something I can not really dissect. However, the dry down is a very smooth patchouli that is reminiscent of Prada Amber, at least to my nose. Not as powerful but still. I can also understand the references to Miss Dior, Rush or even Angel. They are all somewhat referenced in this fragrance. It also reminds me of a lighter Jimmy Choo Stars. I have no memory of the smell when it launched so I cannot tell if my bottle has gone off or not. I’m very happy to have it and think it’s gorgeous for fall and winter.
Spicy and yummy patchouli, vanilla with a tad of oranges 🙂
lenika – :
I received the fragrance as a gift from my hairdresser(she has a cosmetic shop). Well this perfume didn’t please me at all. I found it boring,sorry to say and too bad 🙁
Sheriff Donbass – :
I got Liberté in a swap, and although I’m glad I got to test it and I don’t dislike it, I think I’m going to pass it on again in my next round of swaps.
It’s an odd one, hard to describe and not very modern, pretty different from most mainstream scents – so I can see why it was discontinued. It’s not bad at all, though; I especially like the opening with its fresh oranges augmented by a little patchouli and spice, a lot of sugar, and something vaguely jammy. Very original and very nice!
This phase only lasts for a couple of minutes before something like pencil shavings starts to come in. That sounds bad, but it’s actually rather pleasant too – although looking at the note list I have no idea where it’s coming from, which raises the suspicion that my bottle might have gone off a little.
But after that, the good part is mostly over in my eyes: very soon, the fragrance starts to fade away. What remains after just an hour or so is a vague shadow of the original sweetness, which would be disappointing in itself, but there’s also this vague murkiness that creeps in, just something off that I don’t really like.
The first couple of times I sampled Liberté I thought I had a winner on my hands because I liked the opening so much, but it seems I don’t love even that phase enough to ignore the disappointing drydown. I think I’ll keep just a little bit to myself for occasional use, but since it’s discontinued there must be someone out there who will give my bottle a better home.
Vitek03166 – :
This was in my test list and I found it om my vacation on Greece. Somehow Liberte reminds me of Gold sugar by Aquolina, because of its wseet and citrusy notes. It’s flirty and yummy and I suppose it’s a great choise for cold weather. It’s a pity it’s discontinued, but for me Gold sugar is a nicer alternative.
tivan1739 – :
I’m so upset that Cacharel doesn’t make this anymore. I keep an empty bottle around just to smell every once in a while. If anyone has a spare bottle, I would love to buy it!

Liberte – Cacharel
Inicialmente digo que não sou fã dos cítricos e, portanto, não tinha sequer curiosidade por este, pensando numa explosão de laranja e só.
Doce engano, pois há alguns anos, entre uma troca de frações das quais Liberte era uma, o conheci, por último, visto que nem pensava nele.
Resolvi passá-lo numa manhã ensolarada de inverno e fui trabalhar. O dia estava corrido, quase num prestei atenção nele. Aí saí p/ almoçar, no caminho precisei ir ao Banco. O fato é que nesse momento comecei a sentir um cheiro maravilhoso, até olhava ao lado nas pessoas próximas procurando de onde vinha (dentro do Banco). Era um misto de laranja abaunilhada e um vetiver sedutor de fundo.
Aí cheirei meu pulso e a gola de minha jaqueta e descobri que o cheiro vinha era de mim rs, e era o rejeitado Liberte rs.
Bem, passei o dia sentindo o perfume e pensando em conseguir um pra mim, até que isso acabou acontecendo.
Liberte abre pouco cítrico, nada desses explosivos cheiros de limpadores multiuso a que estamos acostumados rs, depois de 1h ele começa a se revelar uma calda de frutas amarelas/alaranjadas, encantadoramente melada e com rastro de vetiver que faz vc ficar se cheirando o tempo todo.
Resumidamente é isso, uma calda que te traz sensação de conforto e alegria e um rastro de vetiver que aguça os sentidos de quem o sente, é uma sensação muito agradável.
Um atípico cítrico na minha opinião, por fugir do lugar comum na área, e um típico evocador da sensação de bem estar, de felicidade.
Além disso, um verdadeiro coringa, podendo ser usado em qualquer situação, fazendo bonito.
DarkOfTheTosTeR – :
In April and May I feel that I crave for that crispy and fresh orange scent of Liberté and use it almost every day. Then I leave it to rest on the shelf in favor of softer oriental floral fragrance for summer
To me Liberte is a celebration of spring.
Limuriks – :
Līberte is a clean, sweet, floral orange with a slightly heady, spicy character and hints of the nineties. There’s something slightly masculine and animalic in it, but it’s very womanly overall. I have several orange scents and it is unlike any of them. I really, really like this!
nem0 – :
Liberté is a simple but good fruity, orange scent, nice in the winter, when it’s cold and windy.
It stays quite a while.
seregamon – :
Wow, such beauty! Much delicious! Marmalade and those beautiful spices! Sugar is surprisingly tasty as well. I wear Liberte and I feel like i’m in a beach, lying on sands and drinking my cocktail.
Makes me happy and feels me lively!
Dissease – :
Powerfull for the first 5 minutes and then, it becomes creamy, musky, almost like baby powder. Not enouht orange but a Nice Sweet undertone. It IS very délicate on me, but i AM ready for something else !
Monk89 – :
A perfume with a lot of depth! At least on me. This nice fragrance opens up with the most freshest orange scent I have ever smelled in a fragrance. It has just the right kind of sweetness to not be cloying. After about 30 minutes on my skin, it warms down into a very rich and smoky vanilla. The sweetness has died down a little bit but it quietly lingers. A very well done fragrance.
bulletlaym – :
Very sweet, effervescent citrus with bright, sparkling patchouli underneath. There is also a gourmand quality provided by honey, vanilla, sugar, and spices. Although the note pyramid of Liberte shows a lot of floral notes, in reality there’s only enough florals to round out the composition and provide structure (the only floral note I really perceive is frangipani). Usually citrus top notes are notoriously short lived, but the patchouli-gourmand-floral base helps to stretch out the citrus top notes as long as possible. The composition of Liberte is deceptively simple upon first sniff, but after you spend some time with this fragrance you can see how much thought was put into it.
According to the Cacharel website, Liberte is no longer in production. However, you can find it online inexpensively, and it is definitely worth the price. The bottle is very pretty as well. If you are a fan of the discontinued and very expensive Ultrared Man by Paco Rabanne, this is very similar and could easily be worn by a man. Liberte is friendly, optimistic, sociable, and easy to love.
Ynga95 – :
Sweet orange pathouli. Powerful. Very strong. Love it.
torch1975 – :
patchouli leggermente caldo e arancia. perfetto per i primi giorni di pioggia autunnali
marseles – :
A nice, everyday soft spicy scent.
женек – :
The top notes are so citrusy it’s incredible. Anything but tame and lame. I get the brightest bright orange with neon yellow and green colors in my imagination. The initial blast was really exciting and got my attention. I wish the top notes lasted forever.
The middle I can really smell the patchouli already peeking out a tiny bit and prominent gardenia/white floral note. There is the sugar, marmalade, honey combo in the middle too with the florals ad I’m sure it just sounds crazy. Honestly though it just smells like sweet sticky jam with the white floral boquet. Oddly it’s sort of reminding me halloween kiss by Jesus Del Polzo. Just in the way the top was fruity and now I’m getting strong white florals mixed with candy.
The spicy patch, vetiver, and vanilla dry down is very nice. I agree with whoever says there’s a doppler ganger effect where you start smelling citrus again in the dry down! I definetly love this fragrance the first 60 seconds in the top notes and then in the dry down where you get all 3 layers about 5-10 minutes later. This really is a fast setting fragrance.
Surprisingly the scent isn’t super strong or heavy, it’s light for having a ton of stronger looking notes. Casual in a way but not boring!
treder – :
Very intense and sweet fruit with spices. It is not a light/cheap smell of citrus. Love it!
virus0209 – :
ForrealMe2 described this well. Liquorice scent is quote prominent from the first spray right into dry down together with orange and vanilla. It’s not too sweet and will not offend anyone if you wear it for work.
I like this, but not enough to put it on my favourites list. Lasts only a few hours on my skin, hopefully will last longer in warmer weather.
samFellaGaf – :
últimamente no lo encuentro! tiene algo especial!
alenka5151 – :
sample review:
Even though this one has quite some notes, this doesn’t develop on me through stages.
It’s a vanilla sweet orangy scent from opening till dry-down. It’s a really nice scent actually, especially if you’re into sweet gourmands 🙂
The only downside is that it doesn’t last on me. I can smell it for about an hour before it vanishes into nothing…
geka123789 – :
OH Cacharel you make wonderful fragrances i adore your Amor Amor always..but this one does not suit me..it is a lovely fragrance for those who like licorice..i believe the marmalade makes this smell like a Licorice spicy citrus vanilla with a musk in it that partially makes it smell like a more masculine fragrance which i don’t usually mind if the notes are what i like like i like it in Crystal Noir…the citrus/orange vanilla comes in later in the dry down but Licorice takes the leading role for awhile..i hate waiting for dry downs and expect the top and mids to smell like what i want especially along with the base…i feel like i will never use this and will have to swap this one..such a shame..i could wait for the drydown but then whats the point to a perfume if you can’t enjoy it from beginning to end..?If you adore Licorice,orange and vanilla on the bit masculine side you will love this but don’t go looking for this if all you want is orange and vanilla cake type scent this wont do it except alittle bit in the drydown..but overall a good fragrance for what it is..a bit on the lighter side when it comes to long lasting sillage but it is very sweet..so kinda on average to above average
WECETREAMEDAM – :
Not so citrusy on me – more like a fresh sugar sweetness, beautiful gourmand. For those, who are suckers for sweet fragrances, this is a perfect one for summer! There is something unique about this perfume, but the notes are so well-balanced, I can’t tell what makes it special.
Not heavy, not cloying, not one of those agressive fragrances, more like a sweet, youthful, classy one. Sillage is good, so as longetivity. Love it!
neneilliasoup – :
This came out in 2007? How did I not know that? This also, is another creation from “Cacharel”…again…how did I not know that? This has become so hard to find now, that today, I was only able to buy my fourth bottle of this since I first purchased it in 2010! Stores just do not carry this anymore and it’s not even discontinued, so as soon as I saw it, I nearly jumped out of my skin with excitement, and then again when I noticed for the first time, what company it’s actually made from!
“Cacharel” have always been the most innovative, one-of-a-kind, original, unique and ground-breaking perfume makers since they first started in the industry! Although a lot of their perfumes have become discontinued, due to their, “In-your-face, over-powering, take me or leave me” attitude…”Cacharel” have always stood their ground and demanded their perfumes be as far from “Commercial” and “Mainstream” as possible. And for that, I respect and love them more than any other perfume company because that is the reason their perfumes are always so fantastic and the best perfume company to turn to in order to a find a signature scent that makes you stand out from everyone else!
If there’s one thing I hate in a perfume, it’s citrus…and again, something I did not know until today when coming onto “Fragrantica” to write this review, is that there is citrus in this scent, and as I said, this is my fourth bottle…how did I not know that! The citrus is blended so well with every other note in this perfume, that it has created it’s own unique scent! I can’t even smell citrus and find that because people are told there’s a citrus scent present, that “The placebo effect” kicks in and you end up smelling nothing but citrus! So seeming I’ve worn three full bottles of this and never smelt citrus until today…that’s a big sign that this is not your normal “Summer, citrus, beach-bum” perfume!
Every time I’ve worn this, I’ve literally stopped people in their track…both men and women have just stopped, right in-front of me rather than walk around, because this is another “MOVE OUTTA MY WAY” fragrance that sails around you like a bubble of fireworks! I’ve seen men and women both stop and watch me as I walk past them, with a slight dazed look on their face because they have been slapped by this!
If this was launched in the 80’s it would now be known as a classic 80’s summer perfume!
“The original summer perfume” I should say!
I feel it’s late release in only 2007 has made it the most undiscovered and over-looked summer/citrus/beach scents ever made! Especially because so many companies now have their own version and people have been buying them since the late 90’s, that this would have been seen as a “Wannabe” when it came out!
This is as strong as a pure EDP on first contact. But after that first burst, it stays around you like a soft toilette, which still has that extra punch to say hello to every person you walk past before you’re even able to…hence why people are immediately hit by this when they make contact! But there’s nothing bad about this because this citrus, orange, sweet patchouli and vanilla perfume is DELICIOUS and smells nothing like any other so-called “Citrus scent” because every note is finely blended and crafted together to create one, simple, unique, happy, youthful, fun smell! And I’d say the added notes of “Mixed florals” is the master behind that!
This is such a happy perfume that people can’t help but smell this when it’s on you and have to search for the source of it’s origins, that their eyes just follow you!
Good for both dry and moist skin types and lasts up to 4/6 hours on both!
This is also very unisex too and smells perfect on both males and females…very sexy indeed!
Total day-time perfume!
Can’t express enough, the quality of this perfume and the signature scent this will be for any person, and how only four or five notes have been used to make such a simple, yet effective and stand-alone creation!
Yet again, another fantastic but over-looked perfume from the always projective company “Cacharel”!
ZHosTik – :
The quirky bottle first caught my eye, and when I smelt it I instantly fell in love. I got many compliments on when I wore it, with many asking if I was wearing Chanel. A gorgeous, youthful scent.
ant – :
Refreshing patchouli dipped in sweet orange juice. Soft on skin with vanilla-amber hint. It’s very lovely and definitely not mainstream composition (even though it might have something in common with Angel). Sadly it doesn’t last on me. I was respraying like crazy but it’s just gone in half an hour.
vega35ac – :
With the first spray I started smiling, it reminds me of a sparkly orange soda I drank as a child. Dries down to a warm vanilla/patchouli, I like it. :0)
jorik051 – :
Beautiful, soft opening, orange and ambery sweetness.
To be continued………………..
AcoolA – :
The citrus in this is sugary, but bright. The patchouli and bitter orange keep it from going in a creamsicle direction. Nothing to write home about if you don’t absolutely love orange.
68stas93 – :
I love this perfume.
Afistfulofeuros – :
Orange and Patchouli all the way. Boring for me, perhaps because I have tried so many varieties of other orange dominant perfumes. I do love both orange and Patchouli, but these two notes seem to remain flat on me. I don’t get anything more. But my husband really likes this perfume on me. He is a Patchouli junkie.
Fleh2456731 – :
Liberté… angels are free…For me Liberté is very similar to angel by Thierry Mugler, but nicer.
Cacharel build great parfums in general, so it’s no the exception. Just i hoped somethin’ different. Anyway, moderate long lasting, nice cap, nice colors in the bottle. 2 & 1/2 stars. Try it, every skin is a world.
SURF – :
Gorgeous!!! Beautiful orange and patchouli (the way it should be, soft and incense like, not overbearing or repulsive). I bought this dirt cheap, put it aside, and I tried it today. Wow! It dries down to a soft lovely scent that’s a pleasure to wear. Perfect anytime, anywhere.
rin_777 – :
I’m so happy- I got this for £6 on Ebay and I love it! This scent transports me back to my childhood in the 70’s ,it reminds me of how shops smelled back then-like incense,hippies and those sandalwood balls you used to put in your clothing drawer. It is spicy and exotic, warm and evocative. Contrary to other reviewers I cannot detect oranges or marmalade at all,for me I get mainly the patchouli,vanilla,sugar & spices with only a very small hint of bergamot. The retro packaging and bottle are spot on. It is quite a masculine scent,like Vivienne Westwood’s Let it Rock-another of my favourites. It could be a unisex fragrance, as it is not girly in the slightest,other than the sweet notes. Unique and wonderful-if you like something retro and a bit different,it is definitely worth trying as it can be bought very cheaply at the moment.
hunyadipatrik – :
Well, this one surprised me. I bought it only because I found it very very cheap, even though I already knew the scent and did not like it that much. It does smell of dark (patchouly) orange marmalade and I used to find it too sweet, even though its sweetness is not linear, it does have a sour twist, and a bit sticky, gravity heavy. Well, when I wore it, I kept getting whiffs of a really marvellous scent, not too sweet at all, even if a bit gourmand. Well, great surprise. It ended up being a keeper.
орчанин35 – :
I like this perfume all right, but it’s quite a simple fragrance. On me it smells like oranges and caramel. I did read somewhere that Cacharel tried to capture the smell of a particular type of French cake in this perfume. So if that’s what they wanted they probably succeeded. I get a bit of patchouli but not enough to overcome the dessert notes. I like the smell of oranges so in that way I can still enjoy wearing this. But it’s a bit of a disappointing smell in that I would have liked it to be more complex, less sweet and more referring to the image of the strong, free woman (not a home cook ;)).

FranzMin – :
I like this a lot. I didn’t think I would, given that it has a moderate presence of patch and I usually go BOO, HISS at it. This is a powdery marmalade patch. I think I will love it come fall and winter. I’ll probably spray it on a scarf to make it last longer. Mmm!
santailer – :
Sort of amber-y orange-y. Nice!
Michelll2000 – :
One of my colleague in the office used to wear it, was sooo yammy: very sweet orange marmalade. Sweet but not in the girly way but in some dark spicy way.
Very piquant!
So I bought it blindly… Unfortunately it doesn’t fit to my chemistry, on me the patchouliy is so strong(gave me a headache). I wish I can enjoy more sweet&spicy orange and less patchouli!
vetal-forever – :
I love this fragrance … I agree with some of the other fans of this perfume that with the initial spray it definitely has some similarities to Elixir des Merveilles by hermes but not the same depth. Its a gorgeous beachy summer fragrance, dont get the citrus, as I dont like that in a perfume, but you get lovely warm sugary chocolate orange. My bottle was a blind buy on ebay and I will be ordering another ou bottle… go buy it girls you will love it!!
albert01 – :
A friend of mine was traveling and brought this for me in a bottle of 30ml and was one of my first perfumes. I love the smell, it is floral, sweet and yet citrus. What I most feel about this scent is orange, lemon and patchouli. It is a fragrance for all ages, its not very strong, in fact its very refreshing. Its not a scent that attracts attention, as the strong ones, it’s a perfume for those who are cute, mysterious, with less prominent personalities, women who are remarkable and sexy. Its a versatile fragrance because it can be used both day and night. I use to go to work, lunches and college, and I dont use it for parties and evening appointments. It can be used in all seasons, but I use it mostly in summer and spring. On my skin it does not last much, on average 4 hours (this is the only weak point). The smell remains the same, these first four hours, and for the rest of the day it becomes just like a “memory” that you wore it that day, very soft and subtle. The bottle is very sweet, is a flower, I found it very delicate and sophisticated, like the fragrance. The flower-shaped bottle and the orange color say it all: citrus and floral. One of the best mixes of Cacharel, I love it.
SCENT – 9/10
LASTING – 6/10
BOTTLE – 10/10
vanino61 – :
This perfume is truly unexpectedly delicious. Fresh-orangie-summery, it also at times calls for thoughts of home made desserts, dried orande skins milled into cedrat, while patchouli makes it lasting close to body scent. I can understand that it’s compared to L de Lolita, as it has sweetness but saltiness, reminding of salty sea summer winds, and freshness of sun-lit morning, what is also suggested by the bottle cover and ads of the girl with sun-kissed hair and crisp white shirt. It has immediatly created holiday summer mood. Orange box that mock-seals like an envelope is also very delicate and has luxury feel, nothing of cheap paper of some mass marketed perfumes. Overall,plus plus plus. Long forgotten feel of such brothers like Energising by Sheseido, Lumiere by Rochas, even Au Masculin Lempicka and Happy Clinique. A happy perfume.
TirteroDY – :
This perfume is an unexpected LOVE for me. Impulse bought after sniffing once.
What opens as a sparkling citrusy orange smell that is light fresh and invigorating soon turns into a very sexy scent. Which reminds me also of Jimmy Choo (As said by Bobbyferrant). It’s smells like Jimmy Choo minus the toffee note and replaced with orange. It’s also reminiscent of the sexy woodsiness of Calvin Klein’s Euphoria. It has that same woody tone except this is alot more citrus and vanilla.
A love child of JC and CK with an orange spark. This is really really lovely for the price and I didn’t expect to like it so much.
Well done Cacharel.
schapowalow83 – :
At first I didn’t care for this scent,but the more I wear it the more I like it..This might seem weird,this smells to me like Angel with a twist of orange.I like wearing this on my pulse points,and wearing Beyonce’s Heat Rush on my body,especially the shimmer spray.
PymnInolley – :
I bought this at very low price on line.I like it very much.Easy to wear ,perfect for everyday fragrance.In my opinion ,the combination orange – patchouli is very succeeded here ,at first it’s strong sweet orange patchouli ,then the drydown is lovely and pleasant with vanilla.Unfortunately ,it’s not long lasting on my skin.
erurlertyd – :
Still on my wrist, forever in my mind. Tricky one, flirty and surprising. Opening is so much lighter and more sparkling than calming and warm ending. If that’s liberty – i wanna be free 🙂
pspformattedhentai – :
jury, for me, is still not out on this one. This is because I have not sprayed it on my skin yet.
On first sniff and sprayed on clothing it smells too sweet for my taste. But eventhough I am not a big fan of sugary/sweet perfumes I have to admit that this one intriguis me in some mysterious way… I can’t quite put my finger on it…
Something in this perfume appeals to me so I will give it a chance and try it…
sergey_sport – :
Theres something about this that reminds me of Jimmy Choo edp, but more citrus, brighter & syrupy. It has that similar texture to it that JC edp has, which i love..but its more free-spirited, summery, casual & day appropriate.
Dima128 – :
Burnt citrusy caramel.
казанцев – :
I really like this one. At first a burst of citrus sweetness hits you in the face; very sunny and fresh…then as it dries, you are left with a spicy cookie scent…delicious!
aragorns – :
The initial spray on me was surprisingly warm, full bodied and strong… yes, sweet but with lots of patchouli (I tend to detect the faintest patchouli). Then I started getting some sugary citrus notes and that toasty honey, yet it’s not simply fruity, it’s actually sophisticated. As it dried down it maintained its sweet disposition and the beautiful blend of all the orange and spicy notes is so comforting like a warm embrace. I’ve just changed my rating for this fragrance from “like” to “love”!
Kibemubmittor – :
Delightful and bright fragrance!
Liberte smells sweet and very citrusy orange beautified with the exotic frangipani floral note. A little bit candied and very sugary fragrance.
I like this fragrance in the beginning, because it smells really radiant, but unfortunately soon it starts to smell mostly like a burned sugar.
I rather like this fragrance than don’t. Only I wish it was more like in the beginning of its opening and the lasting power was better.
max4743 – :
I can’t decribe how much i love this fragrance !!!
Make me feel wonderfull …citrus, vanilla, powdery and comfort begin to the and.
I need amout of botlle this…
Loooooooove!!!
Grebosa – :
Love this perfume a lot, this is a perfume I wear just for myself when I want to feel confident and enjoy my day! It’s not too fruity with the patchouli in it, I feel it is quite unique. I would wear it any season, it definitely brightens your day in winter. I’m very happy I blind bought 3 bottles of it (for a very cheap price). Was going to give them away for presents but am keeping them all for myself – this one is a keeper! 🙂
Aerohopleneridjj – :
My mother bought this scent, but she couldn’t really wear it. She passed it on to me… And on me it smells like citrus and sunshine …. just so lovely… It’s a scent I would wear in the summer. The fragrance is very sweet and feminine, energic and beautiful… I love wearing this perfume, and to me it is the smell of summer.
innothisa – :
it smells very much like EUPHORIA,just sweeter.it’s got lots of patchouli,but it’s not annoying to my nose like some of patchouli dominant perfumes.it starts with a blast of fruits,patchouli and sugar and ends up with patchouli and flowers.at the dry down,it gets close to Miss Dior Cherie too.it’s not very oranges and citruses dominant as I expected it to be from the notes and juice color.
I think it’s a playful fragrance for both young and elder ladies.I wish I could still find it in stores,but as it’s disappeared one should go for it’s newer alternatives.
accovaZek – :
This has a bit for everyone, and the notes show up like dancers in a chorus -line.
A delicious orange with lemon zest is the first thing I smell, followed by a seductive frangipani wrapped in honey that was flavored with vanilla and held over patchouli smoke. Sounds gourmand but doesn’t feel like it in the dry down.
It’s very warm, sensual and fresh at the same time. Not too much of one thing, but -on my skin- a wonderful mix of all the above that smells really sexy on my skin. Silage is: “yes, that yummy smell is ME! Good eh?”. Longevity: 5-6 hours if you also put some on your clothes. A keeper!
DOZ – :
I received two samples of this and I’ve used it twice. I really like it. It starts with a bit of citrus and then BOOM the sweet orange. The orange is followed by the patchouli. The patchouli is rich and sweet. To me, this scent has a sophisticated feel to it. It’s luxurious. It’s for a confident woman. I plan to purchase this the first good deal I find. 🙂
jonnoj – :
I usually don’t like sweet perfumes, but this one is different. It is warm and sensual, but not too overpowering. And my boyfried says it turns him on… a lot 😀
It is such a shame this one was discontinued… sigh
Plan x – :
It could be written on a bottle: For patchouli lovers only!
Fortunately, I love it, as i love sweet oranges.
One of those perfumes I recognise on strangers passing by.
It’s a beautiful classic to me.
At first I was even affraid to test it because I thought it’s too “marmelade”, and no, it’s not, it’s not even gourmand to me.
It’s not classy and nor sophisticated, it’s loud and proud a 90’s scent.

I have this if anyone wants to trade. It’s not for me. I have been spoiled by my Joe Malone Orange Blossom Cologne and my Prada Infusion d’Oranger. Liberte is to light for me.
Write me if you want to trade! Make some suggested trades!

This is an interesting scent. It has that funny awkward, dissonant note of Mugler’s Angel that catches in my nose, surrounded by a lovely fried citrus smell.
It’s now 5 hours and I’m left with a still vibrant sugary scent and maybe vanilla?
I had 2 lovely compliments on my perfume though tonight.
Pursuant: Woke up this morning to a delicious dry down quite linear from where it was pre-sleep.
Longevity-Excellent
Sillage-Excellent
Scent-Good, people around me loved it more than I
