In plain words

The main accords of Tender Romance are amber and floral. It opens with Pear and Ginger, reveals White Magnolia and White Ginger Lily at its heart, and dries down to Benzoin and Cashmere Wood. It lasts a moderate time and projects strongly; people reach for it in spring and autumn, mostly by day.
