Which Should You Buy?
YSL Manifesto is a captivating enigma, celebrated by many as a masterpiece of woody vanilla with surprisingly green nuances, yet dismissed by others for its perceived datedness or a jarring green opening. This discontinued scent sparks fierce debate, but its unique take on vanilla has a loyal following.
No. 348 nods to Yves Saint Laurent's Manifesto with a similar floral-oriental frame of jasmine, lily of the valley and vanilla-tonka, but the greenery and black currant top note read simpler and sweeter than the original's more chic, structured composition, and the trail fades sooner.
