Yves Saint Laurent launched Manifesto L’Élixir in 2013, the first variation on Manifesto, more intense and more vanilla-rich. The house describes an oriental floral: bergamot and mandarin on top, tuberose, jasmine sambac and heliotrope in the heart, and a base of vanilla, cashmeran and ambroxan, in Manifesto’s belted silhouette dressed in amethyst.
Manifesto’s belted silhouette, dressed in amethyst and topped with a chiseled gold cabochon, with the original’s colors reversed.
The bottle takes up Manifesto’s couture silhouette, that of a woman’s body belted with a jewel cut like a diamond. This time the house dresses it in an amethyst gown, adorned with a chiseled gold cabochon, and Osmoz notes that the original’s colors, amethyst and clear, are reversed.
Siboney2046 of the blog Diario di un’ex stacanovista sees in it a female body clad in a veiled amethyst dress, the waist cinched by a transparent band like a diamond belt, beneath a chiseled gold-colored cap, the shade of all Yves Saint Laurent perfumery.
