In plain words

The main accords of Drakkar Noir are aromatic and woody. It opens with Lavender and Lemon, reveals Juniper and Carnation at its heart, and dries down to Oakmoss and Pine Tree Needles. It lasts a moderate time and projects moderately; people reach for it in spring and autumn, day or night.
