YSL Libre Berry Crush took the famous lavender-and-orange-blossom Libre signature and gave it a juicy raspberry twist, wrapped in creamy coconut and vanilla. It is a fruity-floral favourite, but it is not cheap: the 50ml Eau de Parfum has an RRP of around £112 in the UK, and was listed at £86.99 at one UK retailer when we checked.
What does YSL Libre Berry Crush actually smell like?

- Heart: lavender, orange flower from Morocco and a solar coconut accord
- Base: vanilla, dry amber accord and musks
Why people look for a Libre Berry Crush dupe
Sweet, fruity-floral scents are everyday favourites, and people wear them often. At close to £90 to £112 for 50ml, that gets expensive fast. An affordable alternative lets you enjoy the same style of scent for far less, and a 5ml sample is a low-risk way to try it.
Introducing Rasberry Crush — Insp by YSL Libre Berry Crush
Rasberry Crush by D&E Fragrances is an Extrait de Parfum priced at £44.95 for 50ml, £34.99 for 30ml, £19.99 for 15ml or the 12ml oil roller, and £14.99 for a 5ml sample. The direction is juicy raspberry over soft florals, with a warm, creamy vanilla-amber base. It suits daytime, brunch and casual evenings, and it is a good pick if you like sweet, fruity-floral scents.
Being upfront about the comparison
No "inspired by" fragrance is an exact clone or replica of the original. Rasberry Crush is our own composition in the same style, so expect a similar mood rather than an identical match. Skin chemistry also changes how every scent wears.
Longevity and projection
As an Extrait de Parfum, it has a higher fragrance concentration than most Eau de Parfum sprays, so many people find it lasts well and sits close to the skin without being overpowering. Results vary with skin type, climate and how you apply it. Two to four sprays on moisturised skin is a good starting point.
The verdict
If you love the raspberry-lavender-vanilla style of Libre Berry Crush but not the price, Rasberry Crush is well worth a try, especially starting with the 5ml sample at £14.99.
