What does Impressions de Soleil smell like?

Citrus and fresh accords lead, with Sicilian orange and bergamot giving a bright, fruity start. Ylang-ylang adds a soft floral heart, and the scent then sweetens through patchouli, musk, vanilla and sandalwood into a powdery, lightly spicy, oriental dry-down.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a first impression. Described as a women's perfume, its fresh opening and sweet base keep it easy to wear through the day without feeling heavy.
