In plain words

The main accords of Rule of 72 are woody and leather. It opens with Saffron and Cardamom, reveals Agarwood (Oud) and Guaiac Wood at its heart, and dries down to Leather and Patchouli. It lasts long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
