In plain words

The main accords of Need U are musky and white floral. It opens with Lemon and Pink Pepper, reveals Sea Notes and White Flowers at its heart, and dries down to White Musk and Ambroxan. It fades fairly quickly and stays close to the skin; people reach for it in spring and summer, mostly by day.
