In plain words

The main accords of Velvet Oriental Musk are woody and warm spicy. It opens with Saffron and Cardamom, reveals Damask Rose and Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha at its heart, and dries down to Sandalwood and Musk. It lasts long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
