What does Impatiente / Cologne Impatiente smell like?

The citrus notes come first: mandarin orange, grapefruit and bergamot give the scent a bright base. Rhubarb and mint add a green coolness, while pot marigold brings a light floral, powdery softness. Vetiver and woods settle this freshness onto a dry, woody ground.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though few people have voted, so the picture is tentative. It reads equally suited to men and women, and its light, clean character sits close to everyday wear. Veronique Gabai Mimosa in the Air and Roger & Gallet Bambou have a close profile.
