In plain words

The main accords of Boss Bottled Tonic are citrus and fresh spicy. It opens with Apple and Bitter Orange, reveals Ginger and Cinnamon at its heart, and dries down to Woodsy Notes and Vetiver. It fades fairly quickly and stays close to the skin; people reach for it in spring and summer, mostly by day.
