Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Manifesto Eau de Parfum

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.

Our Verdict - Don't Call Me Oud Eau de Parfum

Divisive, intriguing, and definitely not what you'd expect from a name like "Don't Call Me Oud". This scent delivers a hefty dose of caramelised violet and a tamer, westernised oud, leaving some captivated and others scratching their heads.
