In plain words

The main accords of Great Way are warm spicy and aromatic. It opens with Cardamom and Sichuan Pepper, reveals Cannabis and Dates at its heart, and dries down to Agarwood (Oud) and Sandalwood. It lasts long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, day or night.
