In plain words

The main accords of Charlie are white floral and aromatic. It opens with Aldehydes and Hiacynth, reveals Lily-Of-The-Valley and Geranium at its heart, and dries down to Oakmoss and Sandalwood. It lasts long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly by day.
