In plain words

The main accords of Sultan Vetiver are aromatic and woody. It opens with Java Vetiver Oil and Anise, reveals Bourbon Vetiver and Haitian Vetiver at its heart, and dries down to Vetiver and Leather. It lasts very long and projects strongly; people reach for it in spring and autumn, day or night.
