Yves Saint Laurent Beauté Manifesto EDP

This fragrance is certainly nice, but I can’t quite put my finger on why I don’t like it. The bottle is an unusual design, and the fragrance doesn’t have any defining notes to it. It’s very somewhere between a floral and an aldehyde. The silage is not great either. The smell is more in the floral family but I can’t decide if its a young fresh fragrance or old and outdated. I would recommend that you try a sample before buying. Perfume is very personal and this one just wasn’t for me. Yves Saint Laurent has a diverse range of perfumes so it’s great that they have this option. As for the design, I’m at a loss as to why there is a purple jewel in the centre of the bottle. It falls short in terms of visual design as well.

This was a blind buy for me, attracted to the woody and vanilla notes and the beautiful bottle. I'd only tried Black Opium before from YSL and it's my favourite fragrance so I was hoping to find another favourite to wear something different. The scent itself is gorgeous, though not as strong as Black Opium, and the reason for not giving 5 stars is the scent doesn't last long at all. It performs as well as a $20 fragrance but is 5 times the cost. I don't mind paying more for quality but this just isn't worth it unfortunately. I'm not sure why it's so weak with both strength and longevity but I'd repurchase if they change the formula, keeping the pretty scent. I still find Black Opium to be a much more addictive scent though but this would've been nice to use on a sunny day as something lighter and more floral. If you have a lot of money to burn and don't mind reapplying the fragrance constantly throughout the day, then try this as it is lovely. Otherwise, you'd be better off buying a cheaper fragrance with better performance.

Another day, another dosing of Manifesto...7-8 sprays all over. YSL you have disappointed me with this number. Scent is generic, mainstream. Crowd pleaser. Nice nonetheless. Sour top, sweet base with a zing of green freshness. It feels like sweet scent of amber, vanilla, woods is topped with green fresh dewy note and zinged with tart blackcurrants. Performance is worst from all of my perfumes. Projection is very subtle just close to me, lasting power 2-4 hours. Longer on clothing, but you need to really get close to the item, all the way, to be able to smell it. Yes, it is labeled as EDP. But I own only edp-s and Parfums. This one feels more like EDT. I like the scent, but performance is just ...not there. Maybe because I'm used to beast-mode juices!

YSL Manifesto is yet another winner with a fragrance that lasts all day and well into the night. It’s strong, sexy but soft and subtle at the same time with a woody vanilla scent that somehow works for any occasion day or night. I love the jasmine in the scent and the feminine shaped bottle, I’ll definitely be keeping a bottle of this on hand.

Manifesto was an instant love. I am not shure why I omitted this fragrance while it was released. I only discoverd it a few months ago. It is such a powerful and feminine scent. It is from the oriental floral group, the focus in on vanilla and floral notes. Jasmine is standing out for me, I can also smell some currants and green notes. The base becomes sweet and powdery. The hourglass shaped bottle is great with the Purple "belt" in the middle. The perfume is extremely long lasting and the sillage is amazing too. It might be suited more for winter than summer, in my opinion. Although I am sure it will smell divine any summer night. The scent is very sexy and sultry. If you like Dior's Addict and Emporio Armani's woody She, you should like Manifesto.

YSL Manifesto Perfume has beautiful glass bottle with purple and golden colour design. I do not have words to explain how much I like it. It has floral and woody smell which is very famine. A small amount goes long way, I do not need to keep spraying many time. It has unbelievable lasting ability and I feel that it last for ever on your clothes until you wash them. I always got complement when I use this perfume. I really really love it and will surely repurchase it. I highly recommend it for everyone.

YSL Manifesto is a soft, fresh, sweet, and alluring scent that oozes a charming sex appeal for a woman. Although a little strong at first sprayed it does softens over time and after using a couple of times a happy medium is easy to find. As it is quite an expensive fragrance I tend to use it more for going out and special occasions rather than everyday wear.  Although I would recommend it there are other fragrances which I would suggest first.

I love this, it smells beautiful and its an essential part of my beauty routine everyday I would love to recommend this to anyone it's worth the money and as I said the smells are amazing !!

This fragrance is a must-have for all women who are seeking that wonderful sexy feel. This fragrance bottle speaks beauty, glamour and style all in one.  I also love how this product comes in different sizes, as one size doesn't always fit the bill for everyone.
