Free Spirit

Free Spirit from the French brand Elle is a woody scent with a sweet floral side, released in 2021 for women. Everyone who has described it calls it woody, about half find it gourmand and floral, and a minority mention green and musky facets.

The notes are listed together. Tropical fruits and violet leaf open with a juicy sweetness cut by a green, leafy sharpness; the heart brings lily of the valley, narcissus and heliotrope, where lily of the valley is fresh and dewy, narcissus green and slightly hay-like, and heliotrope powdery and almond-sweet; honey adds a sticky warmth; and the base of white woods, woody notes, vetiver and patchouli is dry and earthy.

Longevity and sillage have not been reported. A heliotrope and honey floral over dry woods of this kind suits spring and autumn and everyday daytime wear, and would appeal to someone who likes sweetness kept in check by green and woody notes. It is sold in a 100 ml bottle.
