Yves Henri Dona Mathieu Saint Laurent - a man who left behind an inheritance with almost a royal scope - the brand Yves Saint Laurent.
A Brief History of Brand Flavors
The first fragrance "Y" was released in 1964. The premiere of the men's perfume occurred later, in 1971, in the advertisement of him naked Saint-Laurent starred. The shocking did not end there; after 6 years, the brand releases Opium perfumes. The sale of the controversial news was banned in several countries, as authorities claimed that the name hid the propaganda of a narcotic substance. Despite this, the perfume gained worldwide fame.
In 2004, Stefano Pilati took over YSL Fashion House. Thanks to his efforts, the French brand was once again included in the list of popular and luxury brands. He did not seek to copy the style of the maestro, but he was faithful to the culture of Yves Sen, which made luxury an integral part of people's lives. So, in 2012, a female fragrance from Yves Saint Laurent - Manifesto appears.
Glorifying female pride
The feminine manifesto from Yves Saint Laurent can be safely proclaimed a perfume of independence. According to manufacturers, the fragrance enhances the femininity of its owner.
Women's perfume "Manifesto" - for those who independently create moments of life, are not afraid to surrender to the power of contradictions and follow their own desires. She is outside the conventions, creates and plays by her own rules, which will not turn her life into a boring romance. There are no prohibitions for her, so she always says yes: to the style, luxury, beauty, passion and the Yves Saint Laurent brand.
Manifesto will teach a woman to be honest with herself, turn minuses into pluses and make her desired in the eyes of men.
Appearance
Like a prism that turns light into reflections and a play of lines, a bottle of perfumery composition contains boundless female energy, becoming for her a secret talisman. The faceted transparent glass package with an amethyst "belt" resembles feminine forms and is associated with passion and impudent seductiveness. Bright color is responsible for instant reaction and shows that there is no place for restrictions. The cap in a shade of an electrician mesmerizes, introduces into hypnosis and serves as a provocative promise that the Manifesto spirits are full of extravagance and audacity.
It was these 2 shades (electrician and fuchsia) that Maestro Yves Saint Laurent presented in his sensational collection in the 60s. Violet is proud, bewitching and domineering. He is like an amethyst - a stone that can change life.
Manifesto (Perfume): Description
The perfumery composition symbolizes that YSL is again returning to the creation of aromas with floral notes. And the most iconic, deep and rich shade is jasmine.
On the whole, elegant, refined and truly feminine, the Manifesto perfumes belong to the floral-woody family of aromas. Top notes are revealed by "greens" and the refreshing bergamot. The heart contains jasmine sambaka and a feminine creamy halftone of lily of the valley flowers. The final basic notes were sensual woody shades of sandalwood and cedar, where tonka powder beans and magnetic vanilla echo.
Thus, the unpredictable, emotionally impudent and incredibly seductive woman will become the embodiment of the aroma nature.
Manifesto l´elixir
Manifest woman - who is she? Her success is admired, and a brilliant image beckons like fire. Perfume "Manifesto Elixir" is a continuation of the perfumery collection, where insolence reaches its maximum. At first it seems deep, mysterious and sensual, but as if by a click it is able to change from the depth of the elixir to sophisticated elegance.
Which women choose Manifesto l´Elixir? The fragrance is a reflection of the inner world of one that has no conventions, as it establishes the rules of the game. It is not easy to outshine such a woman. She always follows her path and desires, therefore, she is unfamiliar with the search for easy ways. The female manifesto will excite the mind, change the worldview and reverse the old statements. She is a star.
Having chosen the Manifesto Elixir perfume, get ready to shock others. Oriental floral perfume contains a bouquet of white flowers, seamlessly turning into woody notes. The fragrance invites its owner, as it were, to live a wonderful, but bold moment - now loudly, now quietly, now loudly.
The perfumery composition is revealed sharply, therefore notes of mandarin and freshness of bergamot are clearly heard. The heart of the fragrance hides tuberose and Arabic jasmine, the sensuality of which is emphasized by the heliotrope chords. Merging, they intensify and pass into the base, leaving behind a train of ambergris, vanilla and cashmeran.
Manifesto le parfum
Once a year, the French Fashion House Yves Saint Laurent delights fans of perfume compositions with modified versions of previously created fragrances. In 2015, the Manifesto line was updated. The perfume Yves Saint Laurent Manifesto L´Eclat conquered with its originality, so this time the series was replenished with the aroma of Manifesto Le Parfum.
This is perhaps the most saturated and traditionally evening perfume composition. The idea of elegance for festive receptions after sunset even supports the packaging of the fragrance. In particular, the thickly golden color of the glass bottle, resembling a seductive female figure, where the center is decorated with a crystal similar to a mysterious amethyst stone. Fans of the brand's design line will instantly find an aesthetic resemblance to the Moroccan collection created during the life of couturiers.
Description of the updated version of the fragrance
In France, in the YSL stores, a spicy flavor appeared on March 2 last year. The advertising image of Manifesto Le Parfum was still presented by actress Jessica Chistein, who was previously the face of two previous perfume compositions in the Manifesto series.
Perfume ("Yves Saint Laurent") created Lok Dong and Anne Flipo. The work of perfumers takes us to the mysterious and intriguing East: bergamot became the top note, gradually revealing with sensual notes of iris. The heart of the fragrance invariably is the king of all colors, delicate jasmine. The completion of the perfume composition still belongs to the sandalwood tree, tonka bean and benzoin.
Manifesto l'eclat
The creators of the fragrance, the best duet of perfumers - Ann Flipo and Lok Dong, released their work in 2013 under the slogan "Disarming Femininity".
Perfume "Eclat Manifesto" - a real hymn of audacity. They attract with their refreshing greens and incredible sensuality. It is impossible to resist the floral-woody notes, where the aroma of cologne and the aristocratic aura of neroli intertwine.
The fragrance begins with green chords. Currant leaves and green tea give coolness and harmoniously intertwine with the piquancy of bergamot and neroli.
Hearty notes, thanks to the red rose, orange blossom, freesia and jasmine, are more sensual and sparkling.
The base becomes mysterious. Sweet vanilla, cashmere tree, tonka bean and sandalwood captivate and envelop their owner with a slight haze, emphasizing her femininity and natural charm.
The true essence of the perfumery composition is revealed in a glass bottle, which, like previous aromas, is crowned with a cap in a golden hue. But the packaging "Manifesto Eclat" is bright, crystal clear. The visual balance of space gives an invariable fuchsia belt with diamond cut.
Customer opinion on the Manifesto
Perfume reviews received mixed. For example, many women were satisfied with the first perfume composition. Customers noted that the aroma of the perfume is sweet, but not sugary, so it is ideal for the autumn-spring period. Against the background of astringent cedar and sandalwood, it is impossible to recognize the sound of lily of the valley and jasmine. But notes of powdered currants, tonka bean and vanilla are sharply felt. Durability at perfume at height. Many customers boasted that the fragrance lasted for 2 days, without changing its sound. Some women compared the Manifesto perfume with tobacco - the same fragrant and solid. However, there were those whom the perfumery composition frightened with its audacity. Girls felt that the fragrance is quite mature and suitable only for women with a formed position in life.
Despite the saturation of the composition, many won the “Eklat Manifesto”. According to women, his aroma wants to be inhaled again and again. Yes, perhaps it is sweet - but this sweet is not intrusive or asphyxiating, but delicate and elegant. Eclat is not very different from other versions of the perfume line, but it is more lightweight, so to speak, for fans of the light version.
Women’s perfume was called “Magic Elixir Manifesto”. They are voiced, but not very flashy, with soft and at the same time spicy notes of citrus. Women noticed that during the day they no longer hear the scent on themselves. But it is worth blowing a light breeze, notes of currants and a light bitterness of a cashmere tree immediately remind of themselves. Probably, the thing is in gray amber (ambroxan formula), which likes to change the sound of perfume compositions.
Where to get and cost
How much does the beloved Manifesto perfume cost? The price primarily depends on the volume of the bottle. The cost of 30 ml on average reaches the amount of 4,500 rubles. A bottle with a face value of 50 ml costs from 6800 rubles.
You can purchase the Manifest in any large perfume store or by making an order on the official Yves Saint Laurent website.
