      I didn’t love the original. Maybe this will be more interesting, who knows.

    I thought the original was quite nice but not great for me. I was expecting a flanker – isn’t there always nowadays then I read that
    YSL describe this as “a veritable alchemy of dazzling sensuality.” That kind of thing always makes me think – ” is that so? I’ll be the judge of that!”

    The note list sounds like a horror show. I’m sorry but it does.

    The original Manifesto was in the line of La Vie est Belle, Prada Candy, Flowerbomb and Diesel – except with even less personality.

    Or maybe it was the “elixir” of the equally pale and disappointing Saharienne.

    Can’t imagine how the “elixir” of the “elixir” will improve things.
