In plain words

The main accords of Vanderbilt are white floral and warm spicy. It opens with Aldehydes and Orange Blossom, reveals Ylang-Ylang and Carnation at its heart, and dries down to Vanilla and Sandalwood. It lasts long and projects moderately; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly by day.
