L'Homme Libre is a spicy, woody fragrance from the French house Yves Saint Laurent, composed by Olivier Polge and Carlos Benaïm and released in 2011. Spice and wood lead equally, with green, herbal, leather and citrus sides.
Bergamot, basil, violet leaf and star anise open with a bright, green and slightly aniseed freshness. The heart brings pink pepper and nutmeg, which give a sparkling and warm spice. In the base, patchouli adds an earthy depth and vetiver a dry, slightly smoky woodiness.
Wearers are split between moderate and long-lasting longevity, and most report moderate sillage. It is voted for spring and summer and mostly for daytime. This masculine scent suits the office and everyday wear, and someone who likes a fresh, green and spicy woody scent that feels clean and easy, rather than a sweet or heavy fragrance.
