In plain words

The main accords of The Library Collection Opus II are warm spicy and aromatic. It opens with Lavender and Wormwood, reveals Cardamom and Cinnamon at its heart, and dries down to Incense and Virginia Cedar. It lasts long and projects strongly; people reach for it in spring and autumn, mostly by day.
