In plain words

The main accords of Sacred Wood are woody and powdery. It opens with Ambrette (Musk Mallow) and Carrot Seeds, reveals Sandalwood and Milk at its heart, and dries down to Atlas Cedar and Mysore Sandalwood. It lasts long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, day or night.
