In plain words

The main accords of Classique Intense are white floral and vanilla. It opens with Pomegranate and Tiare Flower, reveals Jasmine and Orange Blossom at its heart, and dries down to Vanilla and Patchouli. It lasts long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, day or night.
