In plain words

The main accords of Scandal Gold are warm spicy and woody. It opens with Saffron and Honey, reveals Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha and Jasmine Sambac at its heart, and dries down to Leather and Patchouli. It lasts long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
