In plain words

The main accords of Lauren are floral and green. It opens with Green Notes and Clary Sage, reveals Lilac and Lily-Of-The-Valley at its heart, and dries down to Carnation and Oakmoss. It lasts a moderate time and projects strongly; people reach for it in spring and autumn, mostly by day.
