In plain words

The main accords of Nirvana are woody and warm spicy. It opens with Cognac and Tonka Bean, reveals Cinnamon and Hazelnut at its heart, and dries down to Vanilla and Cashmere Wood. It lasts long and projects moderately; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
