The base settles into Madagascar vanilla, musk,\u003cbr\u003eand cedar warm, smooth, and long-lasting. The result\u003cbr\u003eis a fragrance that feels both bold and soft at once.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reason Libre is famous is also the reason it was\u003cbr\u003econtroversial when it launched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLavender is a traditionally masculine note.
