In plain words

The main accords of Rare are vanilla and sweet. It opens with Caramel and Pink Pepper, reveals Vanilla and Nigerian Ginger at its heart, and dries down to Sandalwood and Tonka Bean. It lasts a moderate time and projects moderately; people reach for it in autumn and winter, day or night.
