In plain words

The main accords of The Library Collection Opus XI are oud and fresh spicy. It opens with Marjoram, reveals Agarwood (Oud) at its heart, and dries down to Styrax and Leatherwood. It lasts very long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
