Is Manifesto Le Parfum still in production?+−
No, this fragrance has been discontinued by Yves Saint Laurent. It has become increasingly rare to find in retail stores, often only appearing through specialty resellers or private collectors.
How does the performance of the Parfum concentration compare to the Eau de Parfum?+−
The Le Parfum concentration is significantly richer and more tenacious. While the EDP is known for its sweetness, the Le Parfum has a much higher oil concentration, resulting in a heavier texture that stays on the skin and clothes for much longer.
Is this suitable for daytime wear at the office?+−
Because of its "sweet powdery" and oriental profile, most find it too potent for a standard office environment. It is best suited for leisure, evenings, and occasions where a more noticeable fragrance is appropriate.
Does this smell like the newer YSL Libre Le Parfum?+−
No, they are entirely different scent profiles. While Libre focuses on lavender, saffron, and orange blossom, Manifesto Le Parfum is centered on orris concrete, sandalwood, and resins. They belong to different fragrance families.
