About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Manifesto by Yves Saint Laurent (2012) is an Oriental Floral that opens with a bright, green-tinged burst of black currant and bergamot. The fruity top notes are sharp and lively, while green notes add a crisp, almost stem-like freshness. As it settles, the heart reveals jasmine sambac and lily-of-the-valley—a white floral duo that is both creamy and airy, with the jasmine lending a slightly indolic depth. The base is where Manifesto truly anchors itself: vanilla dominates, supported by tonka bean, sandalwood, and cedar. This creates a warm, powdery, and woody foundation that lingers for hours. The overall effect is a modern, sophisticated scent that balances sweetness with dry woods. It suits those who enjoy gourmand-adjacent orientals but prefer a greener, less syrupy profile. Ideal for evening wear or cooler months, Manifesto is a versatile choice for collectors who appreciate a well-blended, slightly powdery floral with a strong vanilla backbone.

Before you buy

A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
