In plain words

The main accords of Dark Rebel Rider are woody and amber. It opens with Aldehydes and Bitter Orange, reveals Resin and Olibanum at its heart, and dries down to Russian Leather and Woody Notes. It lasts a moderate time and projects moderately; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
