In plain words

The main accords of Raw Gold Extrait de Parfum are woody and powdery. It opens with Orris Root and Davana, reveals Suede and Patchouli at its heart, and dries down to Vanilla and Siam Benzoin. It lasts very long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, day or night.
