In plain words

The main accords of Summer White are aldehydic and musky. It opens with Aldehydes and Grapefruit, reveals Jasmine and Lily-Of-The-Valley at its heart, and dries down to Musk and Sandalwood. It fades fairly quickly and projects moderately; people reach for it in summer, mostly by day.
