In plain words

The main accords of Shaghaf Oud Aswad are woody and rose. It opens with Rose and Saffron, reveals Rose and Agarwood (Oud) at its heart, and dries down to Agarwood (Oud) and Leather. It lasts very long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
