The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2015 by Yves Saint Laurent, Manifesto Le Parfum is an Oriental Floral fragrance created by Anne Flipo and Loc Dong. The composition opens with the luminous freshness of bergamot, which gives way to a heart of iris and jasmine. This floral richness settles into a warm base of tonka bean, benzoin, and sandalwood, creating an enveloping warmth that is both powdery and woody. Manifesto Le Parfum continues YSL's legacy of sophisticated elegance, offering a deeper, richer version of the brand’s signature oriental-floral notes.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points. The top note of bergamot is bright but fleeting; it's the base notes that linger, so let them build over time for a richer experience. This fragrance pairs well with cooler evenings when you want something enveloping and warm.
