In plain words

The main accords of Alexandria II are woody and amber. It opens with Lavender and Palisander Rosewood, reveals Rose and Cedar at its heart, and dries down to Vanilla and Agarwood (Oud). It lasts very long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
