In plain words

The main accords of Herod are tobacco and vanilla. It opens with Cinnamon and Pepperwood™, reveals Tobacco Leaf and Incense at its heart, and dries down to Vanilla and Iso E Super. It lasts long and projects moderately; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
