In plain words

The main accords of Manifesto are vanilla and woody. It opens with Black Currant and Bergamot, reveals Jasmine Sambac and Lily-Of-The-Valley at its heart, and dries down to Tonka Bean and Vanilla. It lasts long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, day or night.
