In plain words

The main accords of Musc Imperial are fruity and woody. It opens with Black Currant and Calabrian Bergamot, reveals Fig and Leather at its heart, and dries down to Ambrette (Musk Mallow) and Virginia Cedar. It lasts a moderate time and projects moderately; people reach for it in spring and summer, mostly by day.
