In plain words

The main accords of Bois de Vetiver are citrus and aromatic. It opens with Blood Orange and Pink Grapefruit, reveals Vetiver and Rose at its heart, and dries down to Ambroxan and Musk. It lasts a moderate time and projects moderately; people reach for it in spring and summer, mostly by day.
