Yazhini ManimudiYves Saint Laurent Libre has enjoyed a variety of flankers ever since the successful creation of the original Libre in 2019. Since then, we’ve had varied concentrations, Libre scented products like lotions and hair perfume. The most recent flanker in 2025 was the limited edition Vanille Couture. The newest is Berry Crush, a fruity reinterpretation of the popular Libre DNA. Dua Lipa continues as the celebrity face of Libre.

Libre has a reputation among some of being heavy and not too easy to wear, especially for a younger crowd. Lighter concentrations like the eau de toilette and trend adjacent flankers like the light gourmand Vanille Couture feel like attempts at tapping a younger market. Berry Crush feels like another one of those market expansion tactics with the bright and juicy raspberry.
The orange blossom- lavender pairing that Libre is known for continues on in Berry Crush. They use Diva Lavender, a variety YSL call the warmest, most balsamic quality of the ingredient all the way from Provence, France.
Berry Crush is by far the sweetest Libre with the raspberry and coconut combination. The vanilla and coconut together create a creaminess that brings the feeling of a serving of Raspberry Fool. Unlike Vanille Couture, this one’s going into the Libre Lineup to stay. So, there is no hurry to go get a bottle at once when it is released here in the UAE.
YSL Libre Berry Crush is available in 10ml, 30ml, 50ml, and 90ml bottles. It is currently available to be purchased from Nordstrom for customers in the UAE. The 90ml bottle is AED 680 before shipping fees. It is expected to be available in the UAE in more locations in 2026. Stay updated on the latest perfume release on Perfume Mag.
