In plain words

The main accords of Arabians Tonka are sweet and vanilla. It opens with Saffron and Bergamot, reveals Agarwood (Oud) and Bulgarian Rose at its heart, and dries down to Tonka Bean and Sugar Cane. It lasts very long and is very loud; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
