In plain words

The main accords of Madly Kenzo are powdery and amber. It opens with Pink Pepper and African Orange Flower, reveals Incense and Heliotrope at its heart, and dries down to Virginia Cedar and Musk. It lasts a moderate time and projects moderately; people reach for it in spring and autumn, mostly by day.
