In plain words

The main accords of Essencial Oud are warm spicy and woody. It opens with Cardamom and Saffron, reveals Cinnamon and Praline at its heart, and dries down to Agarwood (Oud) and Copaiba Balm. It lasts very long and projects strongly; people reach for it in winter, mostly in the evening.
