In plain words

The main accords of Avanguardia are cherry and amber. It opens with Cherry and Davana, reveals Black Violet and Patchouli at its heart, and dries down to Olibanum and Tonka Bean. It lasts very long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
