Where to buy
Yves Saint Laurent's style draws on the emerging androgynous look, as well as the loosening of moral codes taking place at the time. Provocative and disruptive, Yves Saint Laurent shocked public opinion on several occasions, notably with Collection 40, or with the fragrances Rive Gauche and later Opium. Glamorous or provocative, YSL fragrances are all imbued with freedom. In 2014, the house unveiled Manifesto l'Éclat, a variation on the famous Manifesto, released two years earlier.
Manifesto L'Éclat, the third fragrant chapter of Manifesto
In 2012, the YSL house unveiled Manifesto, a fragrance presented as one of the boldest and most seductive of its time. More than any other fragrance from the house, Manifesto embodies the free and independent woman. Excess, passion and mystery represented Manifesto perfectly. Building on this success, the house unveiled Manifesto, l'Élixir in 2013, and presented Manifesto, l'Eclat in 2014. The latter offers a new dimension to the Manifesto collection. The third installment of the collection reflects a sparkling, spontaneous and bold femininity. Manifesto, l'Éclat is the olfactory embodiment of the YSL woman, a bright, fresh and radiant juice, ideal for beautiful summer evenings.
The bold fragrant notes of Manifesto l'Éclat
The composition of Manifesto, l'Éclat is the work of a highly talented duo of perfumers, namely Anne Flipo and Loc Dong. Manifesto, l'Éclat opens on a blend of green notes, paired with tea, along with the brightness offered by neroli, a magnificent white flower. The femininity of Manifesto l'Éclat becomes evident in the heart, composed of freesia and jasmine, orange blossom, and above all magnificent red roses. Finally, the base is sensual and enveloping thanks to the presence of vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood and cashmeran. Lastly, the nectar of Manifesto l'Éclat rests in a bottle worthy of a talisman. Like a prism, it reflects light through a very distinctive play of gleams. The bottle nonetheless retains the main design codes of its predecessors. Its silhouette is encircled by a transparent jewel. The whole resembles an ultra-modern piece of jewelry, topped with a finely carved and highly luxurious gold cabochon.
The third chapter of the Manifesto collection, YSL unveils Manifesto l'Éclat. While it still represents feminine elegance and beauty, Manifesto l'Éclat aims to be more dazzling, more uncontrollable. Its masterful composition gives the Manifesto l'Éclat woman an unbounded boldness.
