In plain words

The main accords of 212 VIP Club Edition are fruity and musky. It opens with Sorbet and Black Currant, reveals Jasmine Sambac and Jasmine at its heart, and dries down to White Musk and Patchouli. It lasts a moderate time and projects strongly; people reach for it in spring, day or night.
