In plain words

The main accords of V Ete are woody and rose. It opens with Violet and Bulgarian Rose, reveals Turkish Rose and Bulgarian Rose at its heart, and dries down to Musk and Sandalwood. It lasts a moderate time and projects strongly; people reach for it in spring and summer, mostly by day.
