In plain words

The main accords of Calyx are tropical and fruity. It opens with Green Leaves and Guava, reveals Lily-Of-The-Valley and Freesia at its heart, and dries down to Oakmoss and Vetiver. It lasts a moderate time and projects moderately; people reach for it in spring and summer, mostly by day.
