In plain words

The main accords of Patchouli Blanc are powdery and woody. It opens with Aldehydes and Star Anise, reveals Powdery Notes and Hawthorn at its heart, and dries down to Patchouli and White Musk. It lasts a moderate time and projects moderately; people reach for it in spring and autumn, mostly by day.
