I'm anosmic meaning I permanently have no sense of smell so I come to perfume reviews to help me choose. I basically buy perfume to wear for other people and not myself lmao. Thankyou
Oh dear. I have no sense of smell in some part of the day (i have to see a doctor to understand why). But for me it's not total anosmia. It would be very intresting to know how people with anosmia pick their scent based on emotion or sentiment they would like to project (sweet, safe, daring...) or just on what other base they choose perfume (maybe colors, picking some flowers or materials, or choosing liminal, conceptual and evocking perfume trusting on the perfumer artist vision).
You just saved me some money lol. This was on my want list but after your review, I realized I don't need another Britney Fantasy or Alien in my collection. Awesome review as always! Thank you!!
Manifesto edp is nothing like Alien or Fantasy. I'd urge you to reconsider and sample it again for yourself. Performance and sillage is also great for this fragrance, making it well worth the investment.
Nat Mend001 I'd discourage you from blind buying any fragrance, even this one. It's still available to sample at most Sephora joints and at the big department stores here in Canada. If I can still find it here, it's got to be available in other major markets worldwide. Happy hunting, hope you enjoy it!
I just bought Manifesto today. I'm a little bit late to the party, as I've never tried it before, lol. I heard that it's being discontinued, not sure how true that is though? Anyways, I am so IN LOVE with it!! It's such a dreamy perfume, and my new favorite!
This one seems to really confuse people in the way it smells, i've heard it compared to everything from D&G Red cap, to allure, donna karan casmere mist...it's just SO wacky! It just shows how everyone's noses are different. I am totally getting Britney Fantasy though. haha.
Hey Tom! Hope you had a wonderful trip! Thank you so much for reviewing this...I love sweet, fruity gourmand scents so your powers of persuasion have influenced me to purchase this! I love both Fantasy & Alien so now I'm excited :-)
The dry down is similar to Fantasy The Naughty remix. However, The Naughty Remix has a more woodsy dry down. This is more delicate and soft/elegant. I own and enjoy both.
Bought this today. At first on my skin it reigned strong of the green notes and I wasn't sure then dammmnnn it hit me one more time with just what you said a fruity gourmand element with a touch of lily.😍
I agree! I tried to explain that it doesn't smell LIKE Alien, but the Jasmine is exactly the same although it never fully flourishes. I can feel it at first and then...BYE!!! There is Alien DNA in here, but it doesn't smell the same. Sometimes I think I'm crazy haha.
I like it so much...it is playful and sexy as you are saying. Adore your way to bring all the perfumes to us in a very special way. Btw...i dont see any corelation between this and Alien - Britney. All 3 are soooo different.
To me it smells like a flanker of Dior Addict ! Same vanilla scent with back currant instead of Orange. Having in mind Adiict was released 2 years later... Dior duped the whole concept ! :)))
Yey yey yey!! Love this one, i have a bottle of the Le parfum version, seriously potent! I think i sent you a sample of it when i sent you the montale decant, can't quite remember. I think it's very unisex, that's why i got it, delicieuse juice!
"Sea of water" , indeed. a sweet person, absolutely. ;) Trying to think of the last YSL perfume I loved ... oh! I remember liking Parisienne and Elle is alright. They don't seem to be doing much with women's fragrances, lately. My favorites from YSL, Paris and Rive Gauche.
How about Champagne/Yvresse? This one still makes me swoon and think I'm 16 again. It was a very important fragrance for me, I would always pick it up because luckily I lived 5 mins walk from a huge department store. When Champagne came out? I had never smelled anything like it? Ya know Holly, i feel like I need to re-do so many reviews. I reviews so many amazing fragrances when I wasn't confident. :( Therefore, not doing the fragrance justice.
hello Thomas!, you're so funny 😀😀, great and nice review., Guess what! I am planning to sell my manifesto decant😂 it is not longer enoyable for my taste😊
Hello! I sure hope not!! :) It was labeled as "Manifesto" Ya know, vanilla sometimes turns darker in fragrances over time, and as this is a vanilla heavy fragrance. :)
I didn't plan to unfortunately. I find it really difficult to come by samples of designer fragrances without paying loads for them on Ebay, most sales people in the UK in department stores are SO stingy with samples lmao.!
I had not worn this for a long while until about a month ago (I had forgotten how powerful it is) and I WAAAY over-sprayed it...wow did I get a busting headache!!! I personally do not get the Fantasy/Alien vibe, but my bottle is older...reformulation maybe?? Mine is tonka dominant with black currant and vanilla following. Way way way in the background I can pick up some greenness and woods. By memory I don't recall picking out jasmine in it...I'll have to have a sniff later and see. ❤️Glad you have recovered from your holiday!😘
I think lots of people don't get the fantasy thing, I just cannot get away from it though. I'm beginning to think I have maybe reviewed the "le parfum" version....hmmmmm oh gosh! haha.
You only got a bit of vanilla? I got TONS! But then...I did say in the review..my skin makes vanilla goes crazy hehe, Different horses for different courses ay? :)
I watched your video several times. I desided to buy it over internet. I did not like it unfortunately. I like sweet scents. I have "212 glam", ysl "black opium". I also have alien and i like them all. But this scent reminds me old lady, sorry but it is very bad scent. I am wearing it about 4 hours and it is still the same bad feeling. Do not buy blind like i did.
Manifesto to my nose smell just like a powdery version of fantasy. I feel like it is a waste of money to purchase manifesto when you can buy BS fantasy a lot cheaper

Absolutely, always try it for yaself!! :) I does have the DNA of both in my opinion but everyone smells different things. :)
Scott Piper I would still like to smell it but I don't know where to find it. I was planning to blind buy.

This is nothing like Alien or Fantasy, it smells similar to Dior Addict in the beginning and then turned to a more powdery vanilla.
I just bought Manifesto today. I'm a little bit late to the party, as I've never tried it before, lol. I heard that it's being discontinued, not sure how true that is though? Anyways, I am so IN LOVE with it!! It's such a dreamy perfume, and my new favorite!
I bought this fragance last month, and i love it! I feel like its a sweeter version of givenchy ange ou demon (the black bottle)
This one seems to really confuse people in the way it smells, i've heard it compared to everything from D&G Red cap, to allure, donna karan casmere mist...it's just SO wacky! It just shows how everyone's noses are different. I am totally getting Britney Fantasy though. haha.
@@ouch110 trusttttt me! This smells exactly like Beyoncé Rise. But this has faaar better lasting power!
I love Manifesto. It's one of my favorite perfume
Hey Tom! Hope you had a wonderful trip! Thank you so much for reviewing this...I love sweet, fruity gourmand scents so your powers of persuasion have influenced me to purchase this! I love both Fantasy & Alien so now I'm excited :-)
Thank so much!! I hope you like it I mean, not everyone agrees about the fantasy thing but I'm sticking to mu guns. haha.
I just love watching, you always make me smile!
4 years later am watching this😁
The dry down is similar to Fantasy The Naughty remix. However, The Naughty Remix has a more woodsy dry down. This is more delicate and soft/elegant. I own and enjoy both.
I loved this perfume, too bad it's discontinued 😢, anyone found a good replacemet for it?
Bought this today. At first on my skin it reigned strong of the green notes and I wasn't sure then dammmnnn it hit me one more time with just what you said a fruity gourmand element with a touch of lily.😍
I wore it for two hours to make sure and it's still going six hours later. Great review thanks!😃
The way you describe perfumes is mind blowing thank you 😊
Thanks! xx
My favorite perfume ever
Great review, I just got the elixir, it's a good fragrance. The jasmine gets lost somehow.
I agree! I tried to explain that it doesn't smell LIKE Alien, but the Jasmine is exactly the same although it never fully flourishes. I can feel it at first and then...BYE!!! There is Alien DNA in here, but it doesn't smell the same. Sometimes I think I'm crazy haha.
I like this one and dor addict edt too :)
Another great review! Love your pronunciation of Yves Saint Laurent :) I really hope they retain the full name.
Thanks!!! One of my best friends is in fashion and he said it's changing to just Yves, which is kinda cool. Maybe only the fashion side though.
Love you your videos! Great personality ❤️
Thanls Gail! :)
Omg I totally agree about it smelling like Fantasy!
I like it so much...it is playful and sexy as you are saying. Adore your way to bring all the perfumes to us in a very special way. Btw...i dont see any corelation between this and Alien - Britney. All 3 are soooo different.

Do you get the Britney Fantasy thing?
Never tried fantasy, i'll see if my girlfriend has it, i know she has the midnight one, i need to try alien again too actually.

It actualy reminds me of Dolce& gabbana The one. Does anyone else thinks this?
hello Thomas!, you're so funny 😀😀, great and nice review., Guess what! I am planning to sell my manifesto decant😂 it is not longer enoyable for my taste😊
Hehe thanks. Good luck with the sale.
I want this so bad just cos of your review 😍 You need to get some commission/sponsorship oioi Love you 😘 xxx
I do *winks*. :) Thing is, not everyone gets the Britney Fantasy thing, and it's only a whisper of "Alien" but, I know my nose haha. xxxxxx MISS YOU!
Guys, who knows others great blackcurrant perfumes with some sexy wibe also. I want to try it after your rewiew.
AlinaNeaga La Vie Est Belle Lancome, Black Orquid Tom Ford
love your reviews
Thanks! My reviews love you too!
The juice in your decant looks very dark. Are you sure you’re not reviewing the L’ Elixir version of Manifesto?
Hello! I sure hope not!! :) It was labeled as "Manifesto" Ya know, vanilla sometimes turns darker in fragrances over time, and as this is a vanilla heavy fragrance. :)
Hey bro, did you or do you plan to review/compare this to its flankers? It'd be great to get your thoughts on all of them side by side 👍
I didn't plan to unfortunately. I find it really difficult to come by samples of designer fragrances without paying loads for them on Ebay, most sales people in the UK in department stores are SO stingy with samples lmao.!
Great review!!
Thanks!
Haha :) I enjoyed the video 😉 I hope all is well on your side of the world 🌏
How just this compare to the eclat version?
I haven't tried that one...sorry! :)
you truly are a sweet person Thomas !
And it's mine
Hope you enjoy it!

ouch110 Fragrance Reviews that's possible. I've not smelled any of the flankers, so I can't say, but I really doubt it's the same as what I have.
I think you are right. Great nose 👃 .
Oh thank you!
OMG !!!!! You are soo right !!!! 😘😘😘😘Love your chanel and you reviews. Relax you are not crazy !!! Thats the daughter of fantasy and alien 😉😂
Not everyone can smell the similarity., it's my humble opinion hehe. THANKS!
this just smelled like sour powder with a drop of vanilla in it...........
You only got a bit of vanilla? I got TONS! But then...I did say in the review..my skin makes vanilla goes crazy hehe, Different horses for different courses ay? :)
BrighterThanYours i wanna see what it smells like on me. You are super handsome bro
On my skin, it smells like - pineapple?? Love the dance😂
Manifelienstesy 💯

:( Sorry it didn't work out. Blind buying is always a risky thing!
Manifesto to my nose smell just like a powdery version of fantasy. I feel like it is a waste of money to purchase manifesto when you can buy BS fantasy a lot cheaper
I feel like I could blind buy this. I already own Alien.
Maybe! See if ya like it . It’s kinda different though
Your do entertaining. Dance dance lol 😆
:)

I did not like this perfume at all
:( poops
