In plain words

The main accords of Carioca are powdery and floral. It opens with Bergamot and Freesia, reveals Violet and Lily-Of-The-Valley at its heart, and dries down to Musk and Sandalwood. It lasts a moderate time and stays close to the skin; people reach for it in spring and summer, mostly by day.
