In plain words

The main accords of Al Bashiq are amber and warm spicy. It opens with Incense and Leather, reveals Agarwood (Oud) and Myrrh at its heart, and dries down to Agarwood (Oud) and Tobacco. It lasts very long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
