As a great fan of Anglomania I was anxious to try this "doppelganger" which I find totally unlike A!! Where A. is robust and swoopy - exuberant to the point of exhaustion - Libertine is sprightly and almost refined. Citrusy and lightly floral (viburnum is a lovely scent) with a modern twist...you'll never mistake it for something else.

Good. Elegant. Somewhat masculine. It smells of guelder-rose essence oil(Viburnum opulus). Similar to Romance by Ralph Lauren, but without the rose.
Romance - roses = Libertine.

Definitely a crying shame that they stopped it because it was the only tolerable one. I love her clothes and have always been let down by her fragrances-will always regret not buying it but have a bottle of shower gel I have stopped using so I will always have the scent. It's like a citrus in an alternative, funky-Brit universe. Mood-boosting and very sexy it's summery with a strange silky spike of sexy aldehyde in the middle. They blantantly brought out Anglomania to try and placate Libertine lovers, but it's like your spouse or child coming home one day with permanently different coloured eyes.

Dear God, "Libertine" is such a tresure for me. It's almost impossible to get it now, but I am trying hard and I grab every bottle possible - just to be sure I have my "L" always "in stock".
It's such a pretty chypre-fruity fragrance, not offensive in any way, not "in your face", never agressive or boring...just moss, patchouli, yellow fruits melting on your neck. Delicious, heavenly and totally out of this world. Few days ago some guy was standing behind my back, in a library and it was all abot this "mhmmmmhmmm..." sound filling his nose ang lungs. Yes, Libertine is an intoxicating, golden beauty!

My favourite fragrance of all time with the most perfect name! It's sparkling, fun, flirtatious and just so damn sexy! Like Vivienne Westwoods first perfume 'Boudoir' it is based around her favourite flower 'Viburnum'. Great for nights out or just for every day wear. If i could give it two thumbs up i would!

I'm very picky about perfumes and I rarely find one that I like much less love. I tested Libertine on a whim and loved it! It was perfect for me. Not fruity or too floral, not powdery or sugary smelling and not too soft. I loved it so much I bought some for my mom too. I'm disappointed that it was discontinued and I'm now having to find something new to wear.
