Yves Saint Laurent Manifesto Eau de Parfum 90ml is a bold, modern feminine fragrance from the iconic French luxury beauty house YSL Beauty. Composed by master perfumers Anne Flipo and Loc Dong in 2012, this confident floral-gourmand composition pairs a juicy black-currant and bergamot opening with a sumptuous jasmine sambac and lily-of-the-valley heart — settling into a sensual vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood and cedar drydown.

The character of the scent
Manifesto opens with a confident, juicy accord — black currant paired with sparkling bergamot and crisp green notes. The heart unfolds into a sumptuous floral bouquet of jasmine sambac and delicate lily-of-the-valley. The drydown is the signature YSL warmth — vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood and cedar wrapped together for a long-lasting, sensual second-skin signature.
Key benefits
- Bold, modern feminine signature with broad year-round wearability.
- Generous 90ml flacon — exceptional value for a prestige YSL fragrance.
- Composed by two of perfumery's most celebrated master perfumers.
- Long-lasting Eau de Parfum concentration from the tonka-vanilla base.
- Iconic YSL Beauty pedigree — French luxury heritage.
Who it's for
YSL Manifesto is for women who love bold, confident floral-gourmand fragrances — fans of YSL Black Opium, Lancôme La Vie Est Belle or Mugler Alien will recognise the family. The black-currant-jasmine-vanilla signature makes it especially well-suited to evening wear, date nights and special occasions — but works year-round for those who love its character. A natural choice as a signature scent or a thoughtful gift.
How to wear it
- Apply to clean, moisturised skin — moisturiser holds the vanilla-tonka drydown for longer.
- Spray onto pulse points: wrists, neck, behind the ears.
- For a softer halo, mist once into the air and walk through it.
- Avoid rubbing the wrists together — it bruises the bright black-currant opening.
- Best worn for evenings out, date nights and special occasions.
