In plain words

The main accords of Black to Black are warm spicy and rose. It opens with Saffron and Cloves, reveals Rose and Patchouli Leaf at its heart, and dries down to Agarwood (Oud) and Leather. It lasts very long and is very loud; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
