About Opus XVI – Timber
Opus XVI – Timber by Amouage is an olfactory creation from the woody family, designed for men and women. This new fragrance, launched in 2025, was conceived by perfumer Alexis Grugeon. Its olfactory structure unfolds a pyramid of notes where the top reveals the freshness of cypress, juniper, cardamom, pink pepper, and cacao; the heart is sustained by the elegance of incense, fir, and lavender; while the base awakens with the warmth of sandalwood, palo santo, cedar, vanilla, and patchouli.

Fragance Aficionado
I tried a decant and haven’t smelled this in ages; it’s very oriental due to the incense, sandalwood, and palo santo. You catch that elegant note of pink pepper; it smells like Sauvage Elixir but takes a different, more oriental and sophisticated route. It’s a top-tier perfume with a powerful yet pleasant sillage, lasting about eight hours on the skin. One of Amouage’s best releases in a long time, perfect for cold, rainy days or evening wear. Scent 10/10, longevity 9/10, projection 8/10.

Oh my goodness, what a beast of a perfume. The evolution of Opus XVI – Timber is pure addiction. The opening is delicious, but what hypnotises you is how it changes on the skin: it doesn’t smell the same at the start as it does hours later. On my skin, as it dries down, it grows, expands and projects more. With body heat, it awakens brutally, as if its most seductive side is waking up. It’s a bossy, sexy, sensual scent that captures you and invites you to dive into the deepest part of your mind. It has that magical duality: it makes you introspective while simultaneously enveloping you in a powerful sensuality that makes you feel unique. The cacao is the star, embraced by palo santo, vanilla, incense and sandalwood. That blend of woods and resinous notes creates a pure olfactory experience of inspiration. It’s warm, enveloping, spiritual, magnetic and addictive. A perfume that isn’t just worn on the skin, but on the soul.

Oh my goodness, what a lovely perfume. The evolution of Opus XVI Timber is madness. The opening is rich, but what hooks you is how it changes on the skin: it doesn’t smell the same at the start as it does hours later. On my skin, as it dries down, the projection grows and expands. With body heat, it awakens and becomes incredibly seductive. It’s a bossy, sexy and sensual scent that envelops you and invites you to dive deep. It has that magical duality: it makes you introspective but surrounds you with a sensuality that makes you feel unique. The cacao takes the lead, embraced by palo santo, vanilla, incense and sandalwood. That mix of woods and resins is pure inspiration. It’s warm, enveloping, spiritual, magnetic and addictive. It’s not just worn on the skin, but on the soul.
