In plain words

The main accords of 5th Avenue After Five are white floral and leather. It opens with Honeysuckle and Plum, reveals Indian Lotus and Lily-Of-The-Valley at its heart, and dries down to Birch and Musk. It lasts a moderate time and projects moderately; people reach for it in spring, mostly by day.
