What does Manifesto L'Eclat smell like?
Sillage is moderate and longevity is rated good. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter and summer a little behind. It suits daytime and evening alike, and voters clearly read it as feminine.
The top has neroli, bergamot, blackcurrant bud and green tea for freshness. In the heart, orange blossom, jasmine, freesia and rose form a rounded floral. The base of vanilla, tonka bean and sandalwood sweetens it and dries down creamy, with a light gourmand warmth. Zara Forbidden Pink and Guerlain L'Heure de Nuit have a close profile.
