The large-scale campaign was shot in the South African desert under the direction of Romain Wygas. The visual concept is built around a warm sandalwood accord, adding even greater depth and sensuality to Libre's signature floral profile. Dua Lipa embodies the spirit of the free and daring Libre woman, with her own cover of Aretha Franklin's famous hit "Think" serving as the musical backdrop.
