In plain words

The main accords of Colonia Oud are woody and citrus. It opens with Calabrian Bergamot and Italian Orange, reveals Agarwood (Oud) and Amyris at its heart, and dries down to Leather and Atlas Cedar. It lasts long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, day or night.
