In plain words

The main accords of SpellBound are warm spicy and amber. It opens with Apricot and Fruity Notes, reveals Carnation and Cardamom at its heart, and dries down to Amber and Sandalwood. It lasts very long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
