In plain words

The main accords of Midnight Heat are fruity and tropical. It opens with Plum and Carambola (Star Fruit), reveals Orchid and Night Blooming Cereus at its heart, and dries down to Patchouli and Sandalwood. It lasts a moderate time and projects moderately; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
