Manifesto l'Eclat, an invitation by Yves Saint Laurent to excess. The Yves Saint Laurent fashion house, founded in 1961, has long been a symbol of luxury and elegance internationally.
Manifesto L'Eclat, a concentrate of clarity
Yves Saint Laurent's sudden craving for freshness
When the Manifesto fragrance was born, in 2012, it was presented as a manifesto of femininity. It embodied the image of a passionate woman and expressed itself through a deep intensity. Indeed, Manifesto is an essence of contrasts and boldness, combining seduction, freedom, independence and authenticity. Its unique style and passionate temperament made it one of the house of Yves Saint Laurent's great successes. As such, it was reinterpreted in the following years. In 2013, Yves Saint Laurent decided to create Manifesto L'Elixir, a juice even more mysterious and deep than its predecessor. Then, in 2014, it decided to change direction entirely. This is how Manifesto L'Eclat came about. It offers a new dimension to this fragrance collection. Manifesto L'Eclat is a bright, fresh and sparkling juice. It is a new anthem to Yves Saint Laurent's bold femininity, no doubt better suited to the summer season and conceived as a radiant and joyful woman.
The energizing scent of Manifesto L'Eclat
Since one does not change a winning team, Yves Saint Laurent once again called on the talented perfumers Anne Flipo and Loc Dong to develop this fragrance. Manifesto L'Eclat places emphasis on a fresh and green femininity. Its scent opens on an accord of green tea and bergamot. The dynamism of these ingredients is further underscored by neroli and blackcurrant buds. Then, its elegant femininity resurfaces through the richness of jasmine and the romanticism of freesia. Nevertheless, it is the red rose that emerges as the star of this composition. It is further brightened by the radiance of orange blossom. The whole rests on a creamier base containing vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood and cashmeran. Manifesto L'Eclat then rests in a bottle resembling a talisman. It has a shape similar to that of its predecessors. Its silhouette is encircled by a transparent jewel. The whole is similar to a piece of jewelry and is topped once again with a finely carved and highly luxurious gold cabochon.
The Eau de Toilette Manifesto l'Eclat by Yves Saint Laurent
Yves Saint Laurent presents the third fragrance in the Manifesto line, which includes the original Manifesto Eau de Parfum and Manifesto L'Elixir Eau de Parfum in 2013.
This new interpretation comes in the form of Manifesto L'Eclat Eau de Toilette, representing a new dimension with its sparkling, bright and fresh character. Perfumers Anne Flipo and Loc Dong gave the composition a new aura, green and fresh, which emphasizes the strength, sense of style and femininity of those who wear it.
The composition opens with an accord of green tea and bergamot, neroli and blackcurrant buds. The translucent petals of jasmine and freesia are joined by red roses and orange blossom in the heart, the whole resting on a base of vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood and cashmeran.
Manifesto l'Eclat, the manifesto of femininity by Yves Saint Laurent.
The creators of the brand new Manifesto L'Eclat fragrance opted for a more classic, bold and glamorous look for the bottle. An elegant bottle full of grace for those who say yes to style, to beauty, to mystery, to Yves Saint Laurent, to vertigo, to excess, to passion.
The Manifesto l'Eclat fragrance by Yves Saint Laurent is like a prism capturing light, in a play of lines and gleams.
The Manifesto L'Eclat bottle captures the absolute energy of the woman whose talisman it is. The bottle has a silhouette encircled by a transparent jewel, associated at Yves Saint Laurent with absolute seduction and the enchantment of passion. Beneath a cap carved like a piece of jewelry, the curves of a feminine silhouette are revealed, in a promise of elevation. To be oneself, unique, multiple.
Couture as an invitation to every excess. Gold, because it is purity and the flow of the source that molds the body until it becomes but a single line, Yves Saint Laurent.
Manifesto fragrance – Bottle: A strong aesthetic statement. The boldness of a cap that glitters, carved like a piece of jewelry. The excess of a mysterious amethyst at its heart. The desire of the curves of a feminine silhouette.
Manifesto fragrance – Box: An amethyst color, emblematic of the house, bringing tension and energy. The boldness of the amethyst color, symbol of mystery and ambivalence. The excess of the gold YSL logo, asserting itself like a declaration of femininity. The desire for a sensual touch, evoking the world of couture. A fuchsia line that creates the unexpected.
Jessica Chastain, face of the campaign for the new Yves Saint Laurent fragrance Manifesto L'Eclat.
Yves Saint Laurent once again called on the American actress Jessica Chastain, nominated numerous times for the Oscars, to be the face of its third fragrance. She became the ambassador for the Eau de Toilette Manifesto L'Eclat in spring 2014. The advertisement featuring actress Jessica Chastain highlights the artistic side and the tastes of the designer in matters of fashion and art. Photographers Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott created the photograph showcasing the actress's smoky and provocative gaze. Dressed on one side in jewelry and black fabrics, she reveals on the other her bare chest. Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott play on the artistic vision of designer Yves Saint Laurent, who wishes to show the brilliance of a woman's beauty.
Jessica Chastain wears a dress by Hedi Slimane that seems ready to slip to the floor. With a diaphanous complexion and Venetian blond hair, Jessica Chastain, nominated at the 2012 Oscars and a breakout star with the Palme d'Or at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival for The Tree of Life by Terrence Malick, is one of the most promising young American actresses of her generation. She embodies the Manifesto fragrance collection with brio, with everything present: boldness, seduction, emotion.
