In plain words

The main accords of Opus XV King Blue are woody and oud. It opens with Mandarin Orange and Black Currant, reveals Frankincense and Amber at its heart, and dries down to Agarwood (Oud) and Leather. It lasts very long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
