YSL Manifesto (2012, by Anne Flipo and Loic Dong) is a women's woody-vanilla oriental: a green, slightly tart opening of bergamot, blackcurrant and green notes over jasmine and lily of the valley, settling into a creamy cedar/sandalwood, vanilla and tonka base often described as a cozy, sophisticated vanilla with a green edge. Now discontinued, it never developed the dense, cross-thread clone consensus that YSL's pillar men's scents have, so recommendations are thin and should be taken as moderate-confidence rather than settled. The one dedicated-clone-house match that keeps surfacing is Orientica Sheikha, which shares almost the entire note pyramid; beyond that, the 'dupes' circulating online are bespoke UK inspired-by oil houses (Divain, Eden Perfumes, Perfume Parlour) with no independent community backing, which I excluded. Sheikha leans sweeter and creamier (blueberry-cupcake territory) and is less refined, so treat it as an affordable impression rather than a true 1:1.
