In plain words

The main accords of Portobello Road are aromatic and aquatic. It opens with Green Leaves and Mandarin Orange, reveals Clary Sage and Rose at its heart, and dries down to Rain Notes and Asphalt. It lasts long and projects moderately; people reach for it in spring and summer, mostly by day.
