In plain words

The main accords of Valiant are citrus and white floral. It opens with Ylang-Ylang and Mandarin Orange, reveals Orris and Orange Blossom at its heart, and dries down to Vanilla and Tonka Bean. It lasts very long and projects strongly; people reach for it in spring and summer, day or night.
