Blossom Perfumery 012 Libra is an Eau de Parfum. 012 Libra opens with Mandarin, Petitgrain, Lavender, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Vanilla, and Ambergris. Blossom Perfumery's 012 Libra carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

No. 012 chases YSL Libre's signature lavender-orange blossom contrast, opening close to the original before the vanilla-musk base flattens out faster and louder. The bold femininity is there, but Libre's slow-burning warmth and tenacity are traded for a cheaper, shorter-lived version of the same idea.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

No. 012 draws directly on Libre's defining tension between crisp French lavender and warm Moroccan orange blossom, and the opening is a fair likeness: bright mandarin and lavender with a dash of black currant. The heart brings orange blossom and jasmine forward quickly rather than letting them unfurl gradually the way Libre does, and the base of vanilla, musk, cedar and ambergris reads sweeter and simpler than the original's more nuanced amber-musk accord. Where Libre builds a slow, smouldering warmth that lasts most of a day, No. 012 runs hotter and louder for the first two hours then settles into a soft, generic vanilla-musk that fades within five or six hours. It is a recognisable homage to Libre's lavender-floral-vanilla structure rather than a precise clone, best suited to anyone wanting the gist of the scent for a fraction of the cost rather than a genuine substitute for the real thing.
