Notes, explained

Opening

Sweet Orange Juicy and cheerful. The friendliest citrus there is.
Peach Fuzzy, warm and slightly creamy. Soft rather than sharp.
Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
Sugar Plain sweetness. Usually there to round the edges off something else.

Heart

Tobacco Sweet, dried and honeyed. Nothing like a cigarette.
Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.

Dry-down

Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
