About This Perfume
Yves Saint Laurent Manifesto Le Parfum smells like powdery floral cream with bergamot snap. It opens with bergamot, moves into iris and jasmine and settles on tonka bean (almond and vanilla sweetness), benzoin (a warm, vanilla-like resin) and sandalwood. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
As a le parfum, it is best in fall and winter. Reach for it for date nights and nights out. Released in 2015. Perfumers: Anne Flipo and Loc Dong.
It lasts through a full day and leaves a trail people notice.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: wearers drawn to gourmand and powdery perfumes for date nights.
- Sample first if: you prefer quiet scents; it projects strongly.
- Skip if: you find sweet scents cloying.
Around $90, a mid-priced gourmand perfume.

Most-Discussed Yves Saint Laurent Perfumes

How the picks are built
Black Opium (Eau de Parfum, 2014) smells like sweet coffee, creamy vanilla, warm floral, starting with orange blossom and pink pepper before vanilla, patchouli and cedar take over. Babycat (Parfum, 2022) reads as warm vanilla suede, smoky pepper and resin, opening on black pepper and elemi resin and drying down to vanilla, suede and cedarwood. Libre (Eau de Parfum, 2019) is described as fresh lavender and orange blossom, creamy vanilla; the opening brings neroli and mandarin orange, and the base settles on bourbon vanilla, musk and ambergris.
