In plain words

The main accords of Carlisle are vanilla and patchouli. It opens with Nutmeg and Green Apple, reveals Tonka Bean and Rose at its heart, and dries down to Patchouli and Vanilla. It lasts very long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
