Manifesto l'Elixir

by Loc Dong , Anne Flipo

Yves Saint Laurent Manifesto l'Elixir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Loc Dong and Anne Flipo. The fragrance opens with Bergamot and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Tuberose, and Heliotrope, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Ambroxan, and Vanilla.

Our verdict on Manifesto l'Elixir: Acquired

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.

Its potent projection and rich, sweet profile make it less suitable for an office setting where subtlety is key. However, its sophisticated and sensual character, bolstered by strong performance, makes it perfect for dates, evening events, and formal gatherings, projecting confidence and allure.

About

Manifesto L'Elixir unfolds with a bright, zesty burst of mandarin and bergamot, quickly softening into a velvety heart of jasmine, creamy tuberose, and powdery heliotrope. The opulent vanilla base is plush and sweet, laced with the soft embrace of cashmere wood and a subtle, lingering warmth from ambroxan. It’s a rich, sensual journey from start to finish, a true vanilla bomb with floral elegance.
