In plain words

The main accords of Balade Sauvage are woody and citrus. It opens with Bergamot and Ozonic Notes, reveals Fig Tree and Fig at its heart, and dries down to Pebbles and Amberwood. It lasts a moderate time and projects moderately; people reach for it in spring and summer, mostly by day.
