In plain words

The main accords of Capeline are white floral and yellow floral. It opens with Bergamot and Mandarin Orange, reveals Lily and Ylang-Ylang at its heart, and dries down to Vanilla Absolute and White Musk. It lasts a moderate time and projects moderately; people reach for it in spring and summer, mostly by day.
