In plain words

The main accords of Love in Black are powdery and violet. It opens with Italian Violet and Virginia Cedar, reveals Iris and Musk at its heart, and dries down to Black Currant and Bulgarian Rose. It lasts long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, day or night.
