In plain words

The main accords of Bois Imperial Extrait are woody and fresh spicy. It opens with Pink Pepper and Black Pepper, reveals Rose at its heart, and dries down to Balsam Fir and Atlas Cedar. It lasts very long and projects strongly; people reach for it in spring and autumn, day or night.
