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!

Let me by. I smell here!
First Manifesto wants to pass and then you may obediently follow. This is not spilling, it's padding. Jasmine and Tuberose want to make it clear right away who has a say in this. With this fragrance creation is hiding pointless, so don't be a coward.

You have to like this scent attack on the nose, otherwise hands off, then Manifesto is not the right perfume. In general, however, I find the chosen fragrance to be a rush of flowers in a tropical paradise. For me still very fragrant, but also hypnotizing for all the others who come too close to this perfume. In summary, absolutely no shy little scent.

This tropical garden should only be used in winter. At this time of year, you can bravely fight the cold and feel at home in the flower paradise. For me, however, this is not a work smell, as the silage here is simply too extensive.

Noble caramel
Short story about the perfume: at that time I had birthday, was with my younger sister in BIPA, she has meant, choose one for your birthday.
Have seen that was on sale, have smelled it and immediately fell in love.
Since then, it is my favorite fragrance. I have never gotten so many compliments on a fragrance as this one.
Lasts a long time, sweet but not pimply, towards caramel, classy caramel and doesn't give me a headache. When the wind blows by, you think "what is this, wow?!" (Have even people shouted after me).
During that time period when the purchase was made, I didn't know that the fragrance would no longer be sold in stores. Of course, I then always bought it online and now it has also disappeared from the online stores and I am left with only 2-3 sprays ?.....

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.

One of the best from YSL. I adore this playful sweet scent. I can't image anyone not liking this.
