In plain words

The main accords of Nuit d Issey are woody and warm spicy. It opens with Grapefruit and Bergamot, reveals Leather and Woodsy Notes at its heart, and dries down to Incense and Ebony Tree. It lasts long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
