In plain words

The main accords of Alexandria II Anniversary are oud and powdery. It opens with Lavender and Bulgarian Rose, reveals Oud and Civet at its heart, and dries down to Australian Sandalwood and Vanilla. It lasts very long and is very loud; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
