In plain words

The main accords of Crying of Evil are amber and warm spicy. It opens with Spices and Red Berries, reveals Leather and Sandalwood at its heart, and dries down to Amber and Olibanum. It lasts long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
