In plain words

The main accords of Secret Woods are woody and aromatic. It opens with Juniper Berries and Grapefruit, reveals Styrax and Saffron at its heart, and dries down to Leather and Haitian Vetiver. It lasts long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, day or night.
