Party Girl
Launched this year just in time for X-MAS shoppers (I'm thinking of men who rely on an established brand-name and who know that "Opium" would do for their mother but not for their girlfriend), "Manifesto L'Elixir" is even more opulent than the regular "Manifesto". "L'Elixir" has got strong notes of jasmine and tuberose and a very sweet vanilla-pudding base teamed with loads of ambroxan. This "new" formula is all about creating more impact with even less ideas than last year. Picture someone who wears giant jewels, power red and bubblegum pink and adores anything with too much shimmer and gloss. At work, she is neither the team player nor the boss lady, but the office party girl. Probably a modern heroine of capitalism. "Manifesto L'Elixir" tries very hard to come across as glamorous and grown-up, but my appetite for original fragrances is not in the least satisfied.

Opulent vanilla
I love vanilla fragrances. Hypnotic Poison, Addict, Sensous Noir… to dive into a wonderful, strong vanilla note is heaven to me. To sniff your sweater and sense the sweetness. That makes me happy. Sometimes the vanilla note is the only note remaining after many hours. Sometimes it is still strong. Manifesto l’Elixir is that kind of fragrance
Manifesto l’Elixir is one of the best vanilla scents there is, in my honest opinion.. The note is there from the beginning to the end. The lovely citric notes start the scent and after a minute the vanilla bounces on the walls. The flowers are there but they only support the vanilla note. After a while the cashmere note melts into the scent. Just delicious. I have worn this for a day, gone to bed, woken up and the vanilla was still there.
The bottle is a beautiful purple with golden details. Shaped like an hourglass figure you get the impression that this is a seductive scent fit for a visit at the nightclub. And it is. It looks amazing when the sunlight shines through the dense purple colour.

full bottle worth
Manifesto L'Elixir is one the few modern-mainstream perfumes that has a unique and distinct DNA.
It is a high quality vanilla creation, my main summery night time choice, extremely feminine, sensually and playful perfume that never fails giving me lots of compliments from men & women.
I will enjoy it till last drop but I will propably not repurchase it, although it has the potential of a signature perfume. Bravo to YSL house!

Purple (Vanilla) Rain
I'll save the back story for this review. That's how you are. You spare yourself any banter and get straight to the point. Those who wet their skin with you immediately feel your rich, warm, dense and sensual vanilla kiss. Very briefly, the bergamot makes a little curtsy hand in hand with the mandarin. One could almost think it's only to protect your victim because you immediately go into full swing. There's no escaping it - your full-bodied embracing nature captures you completely. Dense opulent vanilla threads ensnare me and don't let me go either. If the name Addict wasn't already taken elsewhere - it would probably be yours. Captivated by you, I pursue your further magic on my skin.
Though I can feel you with every fiber, I still find it hard to put you into words.
The rich purple of your bottle reflects you perfectly - you are Purple Vanilla Rain to me.
I danced in it once and haven't been able to forget you since. You wear your gold lid proudly like a crown and rightly so.
In the drydown you envelop me like a protective cocoon. Only from then on one recognizes your gentle nature. To then say goodbye to you after many hours tenderly melting - almost like a raindrop evaporates by the warmth of the sun in front of my eyes on my skin.
You are wild, exciting, dark, heavy,sensual and just beautiful.
What a shame your creators took you off the market.

Fragrance: exactly as described dense, opulent, sensual, dark and warm vanilla magic.

Sillage: Oh yes - he has. One to two sprays are enough.

Durability: Very good - YSL worthy.

Flacon: Beautiful feminine purple dream.

Price: It used to be reasonable... currently I prefer not to talk about it.

Sweet temptation
After I first used up the EdP "Manifesto", I had to follow my love for this perfume a little, so I then decided for the elixir. In comparison, you can hardly smell a difference, but the Elixir is a little finer and more intense. The durability is also very similar to the EdP. All in all, I am very satisfied and can recommend the fragrance to anyone who wants to seduce in a sweet way. Since the perfume is really very sugary, I wear it more in the cold season, so December and January. I am often asked about it, especially men like it very much.
Try him out!
