In plain words

The main accords of Boss Selection are citrus and soft spicy. It opens with Pink Pepper and Grapefruit, reveals Star Anise and Cedar Needles at its heart, and dries down to Musk and Vetiver. It lasts a moderate time and projects moderately; people reach for it in spring and autumn, mostly by day.
