In plain words

The main accords of Boss Orange Sunset are citrus and vanilla. It opens with Mandarin Orange and Bergamot, reveals White Flowers and Rose at its heart, and dries down to Vanille and Sandalwood. It lasts a moderate time and projects moderately; people reach for it in summer, mostly by day.
