In plain words

The main accords of Invasion Barbare are aromatic and fresh spicy. It opens with Violet Leaf and Grapefruit, reveals Cardamom and Lavender at its heart, and dries down to Vanilla and Musk. It lasts very long and projects strongly; people reach for it in spring and autumn, mostly by day.
