In plain words

The main accords of Serpentine are floral and amber. It opens with Mango Blossom and Mandarin Orange, reveals Frangipani and Tiare Flower at its heart, and dries down to Amber and Tolu Balsam. It lasts long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, day or night.
