It&#8217;s sweet and comforting, but not cloying, and would be just as good for a holiday party as a chill night in by the fire. The orange blossom and lavender add a nice brightness that keeps it from being sticky sweet, rounding out the formula to be delicious and wearable. It will be a staple all winter long.&#8221; <em>\u2014Bella Cacciatore, senior news editor<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"loc article-post-content\">\n<div id=\"beauty-breadcrumbs--chips_1-0\" class=\"comp beauty-breadcrumbs--chips mntl-universal-breadcrumbs--chips mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"mntl-breadcrumbs__read-more_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-breadcrumbs__read-more mntl-text-block text-title-100\">Read more:<\/div>\n<ul id=\"mntl-universal-breadcrumbs_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-universal-breadcrumbs mntl-block text-label-300 breadcrumbs\" data-tracking-container=\"true\">\n<li id=\"mntl-breadcrumbs__item_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-breadcrumbs__item mntl-block\"><span class=\"link__wrapper\">Fragrance<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p> Source URL: https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/ysl-libre-vanille-couture-review-11855722<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you click on links we provide, we may receive compensation.
