In plain words

The main accords of Mon Guerlain are vanilla and lavender. It opens with Lavender and Bergamot, reveals Iris and Jasmine Sambac at its heart, and dries down to Tahitian Vanilla and Coumarin. It lasts long and projects moderately; people reach for it in spring and autumn, day or night.
