In plain words

The main accords of Musamam are woody and amber. It opens with Saffron and Italian Mandarin, reveals Amberwood and Virginia Cedar at its heart, and dries down to Incense and Akigalawood. It lasts long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
