Blossom Perfumery 348 The Manifest is an Eau de Parfum. 348 The Manifest opens with Bergamot and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Lily Of The Valley, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Blossom Perfumery's 348 The Manifest carries an Acquired verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

No. 348 nods to Yves Saint Laurent's Manifesto with a similar floral-oriental frame of jasmine, lily of the valley and vanilla-tonka, but the greenery and black currant top note read simpler and sweeter than the original's more chic, structured composition, and the trail fades sooner.

About

No. 348 draws on the warm, oriental-floral territory of Yves Saint Laurent's Manifesto, aiming for a comforting, sensual scent at a fraction of the price. The opening blends black currant, bergamot and green notes into a fresh, slightly tart introduction that leans sweeter and less sophisticated than the polished original. The heart softens into lily of the valley and jasmine, a soft floral pairing that echoes Manifesto's feminine core, if a touch less nuanced. The base rounds out with cedar, sandalwood, vanilla and tonka bean, delivering the same enveloping, cosy warmth the original is known for, best suited to colder months and evening occasions. It fades faster and projects less than the designer version, but for everyday winter wear when you want a rich, comforting scent without the department-store price, this dupe delivers a reasonable stand-in for Manifesto's oriental-floral signature.
