Vanilla caramel dessert
I can't relate to the notes listed by YSL/L'Oréal. Green tea, bergamot, neroli, black currant bud? Not really. Jasmine, freesia, rose, orange blossom? Sorry, I can't tell those aromachemicals apart. What I can smell is a very strong vanilla-toffee note, tonka bean, artificial sandalwood and cashmeran. Basically the structure of the regular "Manifesto". Those top-notes of green tea, bergamote etc. vanish after two minutes and the "flowers" are an artificial mess. On the other hand, "Manifesto Eclat" is easier to stomach than the forerunners ("Manifesto EdP" and "Manifesto Intense"), it is meant to be worn/sold in spring/summer, hence the lighter top-notes. I'm not a fan of this vanilla-caramel concoction, wearing it feels like being wrapped into a sweet, calorie-rich vanilla-dessert all day long (longevity is very good).
Today I talked to a woman who adores "Manifesto" and who grabbed the new "Eclat" from the counter right away. It's her signature scent and she loves its "cosy, warm feel". She also told me that she receives tons of compliments when wearing "Manifesto". Lucky woman. Well, I never tell people when I dislike their fragrance. Do you?
