In plain words

The main accords of The Library Collection Opus V are iris and powdery. It opens with Rum and Orris Root, reveals Iris and Rose at its heart, and dries down to Agarwood (Oud) and Woodsy Notes. It lasts very long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, day or night.
