YSL Libre Berry Crush is one of the newest additions to the Libre lineup, quietly arriving in late 2025 as a fruity twist on the brand’s signature scent type. A

As with many Libre flankers, it promises something familiar with a fresh angle, this time leaning into juicy berry notes and a softer, sweeter edge.

In this review, we’ll take a closer look at Libre Berry Crush from all angles, including the packaging and bottle design, how the scent actually smells on skin, how it wears over time, and how the price stacks up within the Libre family. Whether you’re already a Libre fan or just curious about this new release, here’s what to know before deciding if Berry Crush is worth your attention.

Libre Berry Crush Review: About 

YSL Libre Berry Crush launched in late 2025 as the latest flanker in Yves Saint Laurent’s highly successful Libre fragrance line. You've probably seen these flankers at Sephora where they are pretty popular.

Rather than reinventing the wheel, Berry Crush builds on the recognizable Libre DNA while introducing a fruit-forward twist designed to feel brighter and more playful than the original.

Where It Fits in the Libre Line

Libre Berry Crush is part of the broader Libre series, which includes multiple interpretations of the original scent. Like other flankers in the line, Berry Crush is positioned as a variation on a familiar theme, aimed at fans of Libre who are curious about a slightly different mood or direction rather than a completely new identity.

Perfumer (The Nose)

At the time of writing, the perfumer behind Libre Berry Crush has not been publicly disclosed. The original Libre fragrance was created by Anne Flipo and Carlos Benaïm, and many flankers in the series stay closely tied to that foundational composition.

Whether Berry Crush was crafted by the same noses or developed by a different perfumer has not been officially confirmed.

Packaging & Bottle Design

Visually, Libre Berry Crush stays true to the iconic Libre bottle design. The sharp, structured silhouette, oversized gold YSL logo, and asymmetrical black cap remain intact. The key difference is in the color treatment, which leans into a richer, berry-tinted hue that signals the fragrance’s fruitier direction while still feeling unmistakably Libre.

Overall, the packaging feels consistent with the rest of the line: bold, recognizable, and clearly positioned as a flanker rather than a departure.

What Does Berry Crush Smell Like?

Its described as a fruity floral eau de parfum that blends juicy raspberry with floral and creamy elements for a vibrant yet familiar scent profile.

Fragrance Notes Breakdown

According to official listings and fragrance databases, the key notes include:

• Top: Raspberry, Mandarin – a juicy, slightly tangy opening that immediately signals fruitiness rather than sweetness.

• Middle: Orange Blossom, Lavender – these give it a floral backbone that ties it to the classic Libre DNA while softening the fruitiness with a more aromatic, elegant character.

• Base: Bourbon Vanilla, Musk, Coconut – warm, creamy, and slightly sweet, rounding out the fragrance so it doesn’t remain purely bright or tart.

How It Actually Smells

On paper, Berry Crush promises a fresh burst of raspberry crushed into the Libre lineage, making it feel juicy and vibrant at first.

When sprayed, many testers notice a fruity opening that leans more tart than candy-like, with the raspberry and mandarin giving a fresh, almost zesty start before transitioning. 

As the scent evolves, the floral notes begin to emerge. Lavender and orange blossom softens the sharp fruitiness and brings in that classic Libre floral personality. This keeps the fragrance feeling structured and familiar rather than just a simple fruit bomb.

By the time the base settles, vanilla, musk, and hints of coconut lend warmth and a bit of smoothness that keeps the scent from feeling flat. The coconut often reads as a creamy backing rather than a tropical punch, and helps bridge the fruity and floral elements together.
