Libertine Perfume Guarantee

The Tobacco, Vanilla, Rum and Cinnamon harmony of this fragrance is spellbinding. It tantalises the most discerning senses by playing off each of its facets - Leather, animal and the woody note of Vanilla - one by one. Recklessly bold... and stirring. Deeply buried emotions and passions take over. The fragrance lifts the veil on the unsayable. This passionate perfume has the power to plunge its wearer into that altered state where nothing is too daring because there are no risks left.

MY FAVOURITE BLIND BUY!! An absolute beast!

This was another blind buy from libertine parfumerie and I have no regrets!!!! The notes are exactly what I’ve been searching for for myself!! It’s sweet, spicy, boozy with the tobacco notes. Although it’s currently summer and this scent would be more suitable for the autumn or winter seasons, I’ve been wearing this everyday. I went to the shops yesterday; this very nice young lady kept complimenting me on how great I smell and wanted to know what fragrance I was wearing. The projection is strong; the nice lady mentioned as soon as I walked into the store she was intrigued by my scent trail. I am absolutely obsessed!!!! This will definitely be my new favourite signature scent and I will keep buying more side effect. Thank you so so much to the Libertine team for always putting a lot of care and effort into packaging my orders.

Bold, masculine signature scent material

A quality, bold, pure and unadulterated rum, cinnamon, tobacco and vanilla scent. Woody sweet, unisex with a masculine lean. Signature scent material. If you love these notes, you’ll love this fragrance.
