In plain words

The main accords of Modern Muse Nuit are vanilla and powdery. It opens with Cassis and Mandarin Orange, reveals Chamomile and Heliotrope at its heart, and dries down to Tonka Bean and Patchouli. It lasts long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
