In plain words

The main accords of Nightcap are woody and vanilla. It opens with Ginger and Cardamom, reveals Vanilla and Labdanum at its heart, and dries down to Sandalwood and Patchouli. It lasts a moderate time and stays close to the skin; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
