In plain words

The main accords of Want are vanilla and powdery. It opens with Ginger and Pink Pepper, reveals Heliotrope and Damask Rose at its heart, and dries down to Madagascar Vanilla and Vanilla Absolute. It lasts long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly by day.
