In plain words

The main accords of Black Cube are amber and warm spicy. It opens with Pink Pepper and Lavender, reveals Incense and Agarwood (Oud) at its heart, and dries down to Virginia Cedar and Benzoin. It lasts long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
