In plain words

The main accords of The Beat for Men are fresh spicy and aromatic. It opens with Black Pepper and Citron, reveals Thyme and Geranium at its heart, and dries down to Vetiver and Woody Notes. It lasts a moderate time and projects moderately; people reach for it in spring, mostly by day.
