Manifesto vs Hypnotic Poison

Manifesto by YSL appears in the community as a well-regarded fragrance that collectors include in their seasonal rotations, particularly for cooler months and special occasions. However, the fragrance community provided minimal detailed commentary, making it difficult to establish a comprehensive consensus on its specific characteristics and performance.

Hypnotic Poison is a divisive fragrance with devoted fans and skeptics. While older formulations were praised for depth and longevity, recent batches are noticeably weaker and reformulated. The scent's gourmand profile (almond, vanilla) appeals to some but the initial notes (often described as root beer, playdough, or rubber) are off-putting to others, making it highly dependent on personal skin chemistry and preference.
