Yves Saint Laurent Manifesto L’Eclat is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Loc Dong and Anne Flipo. Manifesto L’Eclat opens with Bergamot, Neroli, Blackcurrant, and Tea, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Yves Saint Laurent's Manifesto L’Eclat carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

Manifesto L'Eclat is the Manifesto for those who found the original too heavy, offering a green vanilla that feels lighter and more versatile. It's a nicely blended scent, but some find it a bit too unoriginal and wish for more sillage, while others praise its sophisticated warmth.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its lighter, green vanilla profile makes it suitable for everyday wear, including the office, without being overwhelming. The warm, subtle sweetness also lends itself well to dates and casual outings, though its perceived low sillage by some means it won't dominate a formal event.

About

Opens with an intriguing green tea and bright bergamot, hinting at redcurrant leaf. This fresh introduction quickly mellows into a heart of delicate rose and jasmine, softened by orange blossom and freesia. The base is where the warmth truly settles in, a cozy blend of creamy sandalwood, cashmere wood, tonka bean, and a refined, subtle vanilla that avoids being overtly sweet.
