Actress to front Manifesto advertising

Jessica Chastain named as face of YSL’s new feminine fragrance
US actress Jessica Chastain has been named as the ambassadress for YSL Beauté’s new feminine fragrance Manifesto, which launches in August.

Stephan Bezy, international general manager, YSL Beauté said of the Tree of Life and The Help actress: “We were won over by the very subtle strength of Jessica Chastain, her solar charm, her free mind. She embodies the quintessence of Saint Laurent’s femininity, a woman of her day and age, independent, determined, never where you expect her to be.”

Manifesto is described as a free spirited scent, combining jasmine, lily of the valley and blackcurrant with notes of cedar, sandalwood, vanilla and tonka bean.
