Anne FlipoLoc Dong

"Manifesto is a sweet, green-floral Eau de Parfum built around a contrast between tart freshness and warm, enveloping woods. Its opening combines black currant, bergamot, and green notes for a bright and slightly sharp introduction. Jasmine sambac and lily-of-the-valley form the floral heart, giving the composition a feminine and luminous character. Vanilla and tonka bean create a creamy, sweet drydown, while sandalwood and cedar provide structure and depth. The overall effect is confident, spontaneous, and sensual rather than delicate or purely airy. It represents a contemporary Yves Saint Laurent floral-woody style with a distinctly warm amber-oriental undertone."

Reviews Summary

“Manifesto is generally experienced as a sweet, green-floral, woody fragrance with a confident feminine character. The opening is bright and tart from black currant and green notes, while the drydown becomes warmer and smoother through vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood, and cedar. Its style is often described as spontaneous, free-spirited, courageous, and contemporary, with noticeable sweetness and projection.”
