In plain words

The main accords of Grand Soir are amber and vanilla. It opens with Spanish Labdanum and Orange, reveals Lavender and Siam Benzoin at its heart, and dries down to Vanilla and Amber. It lasts long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
