Which Should You Buy?
A bold lavender-and-white-floral with plenty of lasting power. Mandarin and blackcurrant brighten the start, and vanilla and ambergris keep it warm to the end. Easy to smell from across a table.
No 40 gets YSL Libre's lavender-orange blossom contrast close at the opening, but the Madagascar vanilla base is thinner and sweeter here, missing the dry, masculine-lavender tension that makes the original so distinctive.
