Yves Saint Laurent Manifesto Le Parfum is a Parfum launched in 2015, created by Loc Dong and Anne Flipo. Manifesto Le Parfum opens with Bergamot, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Iris, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, and Benzoin. Yves Saint Laurent's Manifesto Le Parfum carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A creamy, opulent vanilla and iris dream that drives people wild with desire - so much so they're still begging YSL to bring back this discontinued gem. It's rich, luxurious, and makes you feel like a million quid, even if it's borderline 'old lady' for some.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its beastly sillage and longevity, combined with its strong, deep accords, make it unsuitable for an office setting. However, its luxurious and sensual character, frequently described as perfect for 'date night' and 'glamorous nights,' makes it ideal for formal events and romantic evenings.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a fleeting spark of bergamot before diving headfirst into a rich, powdery heart of iris and jasmine, creating a sophisticated floral bouquet. The base is where the magic truly lies: a glorious trifecta of warm, resinous benzoin, creamy tonka bean, and smooth sandalwood wraps everything in an addictive, balmy embrace, with an underlying vanilla sweetness. It’s deep, dense, and utterly luxurious.
