In plain words

The main accords of Man are fresh spicy and woody. It opens with Violet Leaf and Mandarin Orange, reveals Bay Leaf and Nutmeg at its heart, and dries down to Cypress and Sandalwood. It lasts a moderate time and projects moderately; people reach for it in spring and autumn, day or night.
