In plain words

The main accords of Velvet are woody and vanilla. It opens with Cloves and Almond, reveals Rose Petals and Vanilla Flower at its heart, and dries down to White Woods and Black Amber. It lasts a moderate time and projects moderately; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
