In plain words

The main accords of Egoiste are woody and warm spicy. It opens with Brazilian Rosewood and Sicilian Mandarin, reveals Damask Rose and Cinnamon at its heart, and dries down to Tobacco and Sandalwood. It lasts long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, day or night.
