In plain words

The main accords of Manifesto l Elixir are vanilla and powdery. It opens with Bergamot and Mandarin Orange, reveals Heliotrope and Jasmine Sambac at its heart, and dries down to Vanilla and Cashmere Wood. It lasts long and projects strongly; people reach for it in winter, mostly in the evening.
