The Maker Libertine is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021. Libertine opens with Pomelo, Lemon Zest, and Starfruit, settles into a heart of Hibiscus, Mandarin Leaf, and Ginger, and dries down to a base of Virginia Cedarwood, Vetiver, and Ambergris. The Maker's Libertine carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This zesty citrus number is bright and uplifting, though it divides opinion. Some find its sharpness too much, verging on cleaning product vibes, while others adore its unique, natural pomelo zing and subtle woody dry down. Definitely a 'try before you buy' to see which camp you fall into.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh, clean, and energetic profile makes it perfect for casual daytime wear and even sport, as it's not overpowering. Moderate longevity and sillage mean it's unlikely to offend in an office setting, but it might be too informal and bright for a romantic date or a serious formal event.

About

Libertine bursts open with a vibrant, authentic citrus cocktail of pomelo, lemon zest, and a touch of sweet starfruit, giving it an immediate sunny disposition. As it settles, a refreshing whisper of ginger and mandarin leaf emerges, adding a green, slightly spicy complexity, while delicate hibiscus softens the edges. The base grounds the sparkle with warm Virginia cedarwood, earthy vetiver, and a hint of smooth ambergris, providing a natural, woody finish that keeps the citrus from flying away.
