In plain words

The main accords of Vanille de Zanzibar are vanilla and powdery. It opens with Pear and Mandarin Orange, reveals Bourbon Vanilla and Peru Balsam at its heart, and dries down to Sandalwood and Patchouli. It lasts long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, day or night.
