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 - Andromeda Eau de Parfum

This one is a real head-scratcher and polarising, Andromeda conjures up visions of either luxurious alien fruit or a cheap air freshener. It delivers beast longevity, but whether that's a good thing depends entirely on your nose - sample before you commit, obviously.

Also Works:

Office Casual

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Given its strong projection and remarkable longevity, Andromeda is best for casual wear and dates where you want to make an impression. It might be a bit too much for a professional office setting, and its fruity-sweet nature doesn't quite fit formal events or active sports.
