In plain words

The main accords of Bombshell Oud are oud and leather. It opens with Saffron and Violet Leaf, reveals White Suede and Peony at its heart, and dries down to Agarwood (Oud) and Ambroxan. It lasts long and projects moderately; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
