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.
Inspired By Libre keeps a soft lavender note but loses the tension between herbal lavender and sweet vanilla-orange blossom that makes YSL's original feel modern; here the vanilla wins early and the composition reads simply sweet-floral.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Citrus and lavender feel bright in spring and early summer, and the vanilla and white flowers add the warmth that carries it through autumn.
Occasions
Assertive but moderate in reach, it works for the office, casual outings and dates, and is elegant enough for semi-formal events.
Seasons
A lavender-vanilla floral that works across most of the year without a strong seasonal pull either way.

Warm and elegant enough for the office and easily dressed up for dates, without a bold enough profile for big formal events.
