La Manufacture · 2015

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

La Manufacture Impatiente / Cologne Impatiente is a unisex scent that carries the fresh citrus of mandarin orange, grapefruit and bergamot into the green, woody tone of mint and vetiver. 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.

The accords are fresh, citrus, floral, green and powdery, giving an airy, light impression rather than a heavy or sweet one. Voters rate longevity and sillage as moderate, though the vote count is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide.
