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 - Sheikha Eau de Parfum

This is a truly divisive one, people are getting everything from blueberry cupcakes and Dr. Pepper to elegant vanilla or baby powder. Expect a sweet, creamy, vanillic experience, but don't be surprised if your nose picks up something completely different. It's affordable, charming, and certainly a conversation starter.

Office Date

Its sweet and creamy profile makes it excellent for casual wear or even a relaxed date. While some found it office-safe, its gourmand leanings and moderate-to-strong projection mean it might be a bit much for very formal or professional settings. It's definitely not for sport.
