In plain words

The main accords of The Library Collection Opus I are woody and warm spicy. It opens with Cardamom and Bitter Orange, reveals Ylang-Ylang and Tuberose at its heart, and dries down to Incense and Papyrus. It lasts very long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn, day or night.
