In plain words

The main accords of Carven Le Parfum are floral and white floral. It opens with White Hyacinth and Apricot, reveals Sweet Pea and Jasmine at its heart, and dries down to Osmanthus and Indonesian Patchouli Leaf. It lasts a moderate time and projects strongly; people reach for it in spring, mostly by day.
