All the offshoots of the Manifesto line have not been candidates for purchase for me so far...
The original EdP developed into a sharp, scratchy scent on my skin and was not very expressive; I never tested the Eclat. I found L'Elixir to be the most beautiful of all, but it reminded me very much of Flowerbomb, and you don't need both.
With Manifesto Le Parfum, it’s different... intrigued by the very good reviews and comments, I tested it yesterday after work on a strip and on my skin and must say: It’s a knockout!
The saleswoman kindly filled me a small sample in a glass; the color of the perfume is blue and it exudes its scent very strongly despite the cap.
Le Parfum hits like a ton of bricks; it starts off velvety-sweet, a rich, deep, dark scent that surely owes its beauty to the listed ingredients. I can't assign the notes individually; it doesn’t matter, as long as they blend into a super perfume :-)
I see no great similarity to the original Manifesto; however, L'Elixir makes itself known immediately.
In my opinion, the new Le Parfum is a refined version of L'Elixir, it seems much more elegant and complete to me. The sweet gourmand note is much more sophisticated and less sticky.
Some gourmand scents are unfortunately sledgehammers made of cotton candy, but Le Parfum is a dream fragrance. It envelops the skin like a heavy blanket of velvet and powder...
Despite all the lush notes, it is not intrusive; provided you don’t overdo it with the dosage.
The longevity and sillage are very good; overall, Le Parfum is a scent for the biting cold winter.
It shines best then. However, I would also wear it lightly dosed on summer evenings. It is definitely a scent for a grand appearance, that’s for sure.
Whether going out, at the office, or in leisure time, with this perfume you will stand out and it will definitely garner compliments. The bottle also looks great, so far the prettiest in the line.
So please test it yourself and fall for the next scent :-)
It's quickly moving onto my wish list now :-)
I can only agree with you :-)
