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 - Alien Sublime Eau de Toilette

This Alien flanker is a divisive one. Fans love its brighter, creamier take on the original, while critics find it redundant or, worse, downright unpleasant. If you're after a lighter, more citrusy Alien, this might be your jam - but sample first, because not everyone's on board.
