In plain words

The main accords of Ylang Ylang Nosy Be are yellow floral and woody. It opens with Ylang-Ylang and Cardamom, reveals Ylang-Ylang and Jasmine at its heart, and dries down to Ylang-Ylang and Vanilla. It lasts long and projects strongly; people reach for it in spring and summer, day or night.
