I tried Black Orchid Reserve for the first time and I'm sold. This beautiful sophisticated scent starts with strong sweet florals notes and settles into beautifully crafted woody earthy notes. The overall feel of this scent is mysterious and unique, lux and elegant, bold and sexy. The projecting is strong , only one - two squirt s needed for the entire day. You can never go wrong with this scent a Gigi · ulta.com

I have been buying YSL Libre for years and I refuse to switch. There is truly nothing else on the market that compares to this scent. It’s the perfect balance of fresh and sexy, and I can’t go anywhere without someone asking me what I’m wearing. If you want a 'compliment magnet' that lasts all day, this is it. Worth every single penny! Also it just makes you feel confident and smelling delicious a Dilcia · Yves Saint Laurent
