In plain words

The main accords of Libre Intense are vanilla and white floral. It opens with Lavender and Mandarin Orange, reveals Lavender and Tunisian Orange Blossom at its heart, and dries down to Madagascar Vanilla and Tonka Bean. It lasts long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
