In plain words

The main accords of Gypsy Water are woody and aromatic. It opens with Lemon and Juniper, reveals Pine Needles and Incense at its heart, and dries down to Vanilla and Sandalwood. It lasts a moderate time and projects moderately; people reach for it in spring and summer, mostly by day.
