Manifesto L'Elixir Yves Saint Laurent 2013

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.
