Why we love this deal
With the holiday celebrations that you’ve been so eagerly preparing for only a few short days away, we’re sure that shopping time has been kicked up in high gear. The folks who shop early have been done for weeks, but for the last-minute go-getters, there’s still a few folks to secure presents for and cross off the list. And although this close to December 25, it’s a toss up on whether someone will actually get here in time if you order it right now, the holiday sales are still going stronger than ever, which means you can still score everything from electronics and accessories to cozy sweat sets and beauty products — even if it doesn’t make it in time to go under the tree. Even if you have crossed everyone off your list, with such great prices, there is still an argument to be made for a few additional purchases to be added to your cart right now. One of our favorite sales? Macy’s marked down fragrance and beauty sets that make it easy to look good and smell great.
For a limited time, the Yves Saint Laurent Libre Eau de Parfum Fragrance and Travel Spray Set is available at the large department store chain for 20% off, meaning you can get a bottle and travel spray both for only $92 — when together, they’d usually cost $115.

Why do shoppers love it?
Some folks will argue that accessories like jewelry or a purse are the finishing touches to an outfit, but we think that no ensemble is complete without a spritz or two of some sweet smelling perfume or cologne. It’s such a small addition that leaves you smelling fresh all day long, and in a day and age where everyone is searching for their signature scent, you want to make sure that perfume you wear isn’t something that everyone around you is also wearing.
Enter the Yves Saint Laurent Libre fragrance. Created by the iconic French design house, this scent is described as an “elegant, sophisticated, and long-lasting scent” that perfectly blends floral and woody notes for a spicy but sweet smell. It is part of the warm floral fragrance family, and has notes of Moroccan orange blossom, French lavender essence, and musk accord with a hint of vanilla bourbon. The orange blossom gives the scent a sensual and feminine feel, the lavender adds notes of freshness, and the vanilla bourbon adds a sultry, rich element that makes this perfume the perfect middle ground for shoppers who want the combination of spicy and sweet.
As a gift set, you not only get a one ounce bottle of the YSL scent with your purchase, perfect for storing on or in a dresser, but you also receive a smaller 0.33 ounce travel spray that makes it easy to smell great wherever you go and is perfect for touch ups when you’re out and about. Both the mini bottle and travel spray have a gold design, emblazoned with the YSL logo, and a black cap area that provides contrast to the golden shine on both.

Shoppers say they “get loads of compliments” whenever they wear this. Although it has spice and sweet notes, it is a very soft fragrance, and shoppers find that it lasts very long even with only a few spritzes on the body and their clothes. The two sizes are perfect for home and travel, and it’s easy to finish both bottles up before the scent sours or goes bad. Shoppers even find the packing quite luxurious, and say the scent is perfect but “not overpowering.”
