In plain words

The main accords of 1740 Marquis de Sade are leather and herbal. It opens with Artemisia and Bergamot, reveals Patchouli and Cardamom at its heart, and dries down to Leather and French Labdanum. It lasts very long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
