In plain words

The main accords of Helene are powdery and white floral. It opens with Neroli and Ylang-Ylang, reveals Orange Blossom and Tonka Bean at its heart, and dries down to Heliotrope and Sandalwood. It lasts a moderate time and projects moderately; people reach for it in spring and autumn, mostly by day.
