Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Manifesto l'Elixir Eau de Parfum

A vanilla-led powerhouse of a scent that YSL unforgivably discontinued. This 'elixir' version perfects the original, offering a rich, sophisticated, and undeniably sexy fragrance that still makes people fume over its demise. It’s got that 'IT' factor, a timeless blend that screams opulence.

Our Verdict - Note Vanillée Eau de Parfum

Note Vanillée is a divisive beast, with some hailing its boozy vanilla as a sophisticated dream, while others are left reeling from what they perceive as an "old lady" floral mess or even (gasp!) pickle juice. Don't blind buy this one, unless you fancy a gamble.
