Yves Henri Don Mathieu Saint Laurent - a man who left behind a legacy almost on a royal scale - the Yves Saint Laurent brand.
A brief history of the brand's fragrances
The first fragrance "Y" was released in 1964. The premiere of the men's perfume took place later, in 1971, and Saint Laurent appeared naked in its advertisement. The shocking did not end there, after 6 years the brand produces the Opium perfume. The sale of the scandalous novelty was banned in several countries, as the authorities claimed that the name hides the propaganda of a narcotic substance. Despite this, the perfume gained worldwide fame.
In 2004, Stefano Pilati takes over the leadership of YSL Fashion House. Thanks to his efforts, the French brand once again entered the list of sought-after and luxury brands. He did not seek to copy the style of the maestro, but was faithful to the culture of Yves Seine, which made luxury an integral part of people's lives. So, in 2012, a feminine fragrance from Yves Saint Laurent - Manifesto appears.
Celebrating feminine pride
Feminine manifesto from Yves Saint Laurent can be safely proclaimed the perfume of independence. According to the manufacturers,the fragrance enhances the femininity of its owner.
Women's perfume "Manifesto" - for those who independently create moments of life, are not afraid to surrender to the power of contradictions and follow their own desires. She is beyond convention, creates and plays by her own rules, which will not turn her life into a boring romance. There are no taboos for her, so she always says yes to style, luxury, beauty, passion and the Yves Saint Laurent brand.
Manifesto will teach a woman to be honest with herself, turn minuses into pluses and make her desirable in the eyes of a man.
Appearance
Like a prism that turns light into reflections and a play of lines, the bottle of the perfume composition contains boundless female energy, becoming a secret talisman for her. Faceted transparent glass packaging with an amethyst "girdle" resembles feminine forms and is associated with passion and daring seductiveness. Bright color is responsible for instant reaction and shows that there is no place for restrictions. The electric blue cap captivates, hypnotizes and serves as a provocative promise that the Manifesto perfume is full of extravagance and audacity.
It was these 2 shades (electric and fuchsia) that maestro Yves Saint Laurent presented in his sensational collection in the 60s. Violet color - proud, bewitching and imperious. It is like amethyst, a stone that can change lives.

Description of the updated version of the fragrance
In France, YSL stores have a spicy flavorappeared on March 2 last year. The advertising image of Manifesto Le Parfum was still presented by actress Jessica Chistain, who previously was the face of the previous two perfume compositions of the Manifesto series.
Perfume ("Yves Saint Laurent") was created by Lok Dong and Anne Flipo. The work of perfumers takes us to the mysterious and intriguing East: the top note is bergamot, gradually revealing sensual notes of iris. The heart of the fragrance is invariably the gentle jasmine, the king of all flowers. The finishing touch is still sandalwood, tonka bean and benzoin.
Manifesto L'Eclat
Fragrance creators, the best perfume duo - Ann Flipo and Lok Dong, released their work in 2013 under the slogan: "Disarming femininity".
Perfume "Manifesto Eklat" - a real hymn to insolence. They attract with their refreshing greenery and incredible sensuality. It is impossible to resist the floral-woody notes, where the aroma of cologne and the aristocratic aura of neroli are intertwined.
The fragrance starts with green accords. Currant leaves and green tea give a cool and harmoniously intertwined with the piquancy of bergamot and neroli.
Heart notes are more sensual and sparkling with red rose, orange blossom, freesia and jasmine.
The base becomes mysterious. Sweet vanilla, cashmere wood, tonka bean and sandalwood captivate and envelop its owner with a light haze, emphasizing her femininity andnatural charm.
The true essence of the perfume composition is revealed in a glass bottle, which, like previous fragrances, is crowned with a cap in a golden hue. But the package "Manifesto Eklat" is bright, crystal clear. The visual balance of the space is given by the permanent fuchsia-colored belt with brilliant cut.
Customers' opinion about "Manifesto"
Perfume received mixed reviews. For example, many women were satisfied with the first perfume composition. Customers noted that the fragrance of the perfume is sweet, but not cloying, so it is ideal for the autumn-spring period. Against the background of tart cedar and sandalwood, it is impossible to recognize the sound of lily of the valley and jasmine. But notes of powdered currant, tonka bean and vanilla are sharply felt. Perfume stamina is top notch. Many customers boasted that the fragrance lasted for 2 whole days, without changing its sound in any way. Some of the fair sex compared the perfume "Manifesto" with tobacco - the same fragrant and solid. However, there were those whom the perfume composition frightened with its impudence. The girls felt that the fragrance is quite mature and suitable only for women with a mature position in life.
Despite the saturation of the composition, many were conquered by "Manifesto Eklat". According to women, you want to inhale its aroma again and again. Yes, perhaps it is sweet - but this sweetness is not intrusive or suffocating, but delicate and elegant. "Eclat" is not much different from other versions of the perfumelines, but it is more lightweight, so to speak, for lovers of the light option.
Women called the perfume "Manifesto Elixir" magical. They are sonorous, but not very flashy, with soft and at the same time spicy notes of citrus. Women noticed that during the day they cease to hear the aroma on themselves. But as soon as a light breeze blows, notes of currant and a slight bitterness of cashmere wood immediately remind of themselves. Probably, it's all about gray amber (ambroxan formula), which likes to change the sound of perfume compositions.
Where to buy and cost
How much is everyone's favorite perfume "Manifesto"? The price primarily depends on the volume of the bottle. The cost of 30 ml on average reaches the amount of 4500 rubles. A 50 ml bottle costs from 6800 rubles.
