What are the notes in Cry Baby Perfume Milk?

According to the description on the Flower Shop Perfumes Co., Cry Baby Perfume Milk is:

"Sweet and nostalgic... captures the spirit of the girl who is playfully innocent, but conceals an irreverent edge. The first impression is a complicity of dark fruity notes, while strawberry milk and a lipstick accord are layered to contrast the dark fruits. The heart of 'Cry Baby Perfume Milk' invites you to experience innocent darkness while Melanie’s childhood memories are evoked through a soft, nostalgic baby lotion accord... the base of the fragrance is wrapped in a sweet layer of burnt caramel complimented by a blend of sinister woods."

In simple terms, the top notes consist of milk, strawberry, and forest fruits. The middle is a touch of powdery notes, and the base contains caramel and woody notes.
