What does Manifesto Le Parfum smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, while summer stays in the background. Night out and evening lead the occasions, and business wear is the least chosen. Most voters read it as feminine.

Jasmine absolute, sandalwood and benzoin shape the core of the scent; tonka bean adds sweetness and a creamy softness, and orris concrete brings a powdery note. Bergamot lightens this dense composition a little. The floral and fruity sides are balanced by a spicy, woody base. Yves Saint Laurent Manifesto and Lalique Le Parfum (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
