In plain words

The main accords of Colonia Russa are citrus and aromatic. It opens with Neroli and Bergamot, reveals Lavender and Petitgrain at its heart, and dries down to Tolu Balsam and Civetta. It fades fairly quickly and projects moderately; people reach for it in spring and summer, mostly by day.
