In plain words

The main accords of White Shoulders are white floral and fresh. It opens with Aldehydes and African Orange Flower, reveals Gardenia and Jasmine at its heart, and dries down to Civetta and Oakmoss. It lasts a moderate time and projects moderately; people reach for it in spring, mostly by day.
