In plain words

The main accords of Fragile are white floral and tuberose. It opens with Tunisian Orange Blossom and Ginger, reveals Tuberose and Jasmine at its heart, and dries down to Amber and Vanilla. It lasts long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
