Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Caracas Eau de Parfum

A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Jo Malone Myrrh & Tonka (2016) - lavender, myrrh and tonka bean translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

Our Verdict - Libre Vanille Couture Eau de Parfum

No. 302 is The Essence Vault's reading of YSL's hardest-to-find 2025 release - the boozy, vanilla-amplified evening sibling to Libre that wearers have been queueing for since launch. EV's take chases the rum-orange-blossom-vanilla axis rather than reproducing the original's full lavender complexity.

Libre Vanille Couture Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

A rum-vanilla-orange-blossom gourmand sits naturally in colder months; the boozy weight tips over in summer heat but spring evenings are still comfortable.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Date-night and evening-formal are the natural homes - the indulgent vanilla close reads intimate rather than professional, so office is best at minimal dosage.
