Liberty
Liberty is a crisp floral aquatic with a distinctly marine character. Sea notes and citrus open it with a salty, breezy freshness, then orchid, jasmine and soft florals bring a smoother, more feminine dry-down. It feels made for warm daytime wear, especially if you prefer clean oceanic scents over heavy sweetness. The overall effect is fresh, airy and clearly summer-leaning.

Wear seems to land between moderate and long lasting, with projection in the intimate to moderate range. In practice, that suggests a fresh scent that can stay noticeable without becoming forceful. It is likely to feel most at home in warm weather, where airy marine florals usually wear best.
Notes Pyramid

Liberty opens with a salty marine rush backed by bergamot, mandarin and blood grapefruit. As it develops, orchid, jasmine and raspberry bloom soften the sharpness, and the base brings mimosa, magnolia, lily and light woods. The overall impression is fresh, floral, airy and distinctly oceanic rather than sweet.
Main Accords
10 MAPPEDThe accords suggest a fragrance built around floral and marine facets first, with citrus adding brightness and powdery yellow florals smoothing the base. The salty aquatic side is important here, so the scent likely feels breezy and coastal rather than watery in a generic way. The fruity sweetness looks light, more of a soft accent than a central theme.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Liberty Review”
Liberty by Bitty Bettys is the kind of floral aquatic that tells you what it is very quickly. The opening looks bright on paper, with bergamot, mandarin orange and blood grapefruit, but the stronger impression is marine. It has that breezy, salty, ocean-air effect that makes the fragrance feel fresh and summery from the start.
What stands out most is how clearly aquatic it seems to wear. The available review describes it as very aquatic, even saying it literally smells like ocean, and that lines up with the note structure and accord profile. This is not a perfume that hides its seaside character behind sweetness or soft musk. If marine scents can feel too literal on your skin, Liberty is one to sample rather than buy purely for the presentation.
Once the opening settles, the floral heart gives the scent a softer shape. Orchid and jasmine help round out the sharper marine-citrus edge, while raspberry bloom adds a faint fruity tint without turning the fragrance sugary. The middle appears to keep the composition feminine and airy, rather than dense or creamy. It sounds more like a fresh bouquet carried by sea breeze than a rich floral perfume.
The dry-down keeps that light profile going. Mimosa petals, magnolia, lily and woody notes suggest a clean floral base with a slightly powdery touch. The powdery aspect does not seem to dominate, but it likely helps smooth the transition from the salty opening into something gentler and easier to wear. The woody base also gives Liberty a little structure so it does not disappear into pure citrus water.
Performance looks moderate overall, with some wearers possibly getting longer life. Projection appears to sit between intimate and moderate, which fits the style. This does not read like a loud aquatic built for maximum trail. It is more likely to suit someone who wants a fresh scent bubble for daytime, especially in heat, holidays, casual summer routines, or easy office wear where a marine floral feels appropriate.
The main reason to consider Liberty is simple. It offers a clearly oceanic floral style with enough citrus and soft florals to keep it pleasant. The main reason to hesitate is equally clear. If you do not enjoy salty, marine perfumes, the concept may feel too specific. This looks best for someone who wants a feminine summer fragrance that smells fresh, coastal and uncomplicated, with the bottle charm as a bonus rather than the only reason to own it.

There is not enough strong evidence to make a precise dupe claim here. The safest comparison is by style rather than by exact match: Liberty sits in the floral aquatic space with a pronounced marine edge. If that profile appeals, it makes sense to sample it alongside other crisp, citrusy marine florals rather than expect a confirmed one-to-one alternative.
