In plain words

The main accords of Santal Carmin are woody and warm spicy. It opens with Saffron and Lime, reveals Sandalwood and Guaiac Wood at its heart, and dries down to Madagascar Vanilla and Texas Cedar. It lasts a moderate time and projects moderately; people reach for it in autumn, day or night.
