Amouage Opus XVI Timber is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Alexis Grugeon. Opus XVI Timber opens with Cacao Pod, Cypress, Pink Pepper, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Lavender, Frankincense, and Canadian Fir Balsam, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Palo Santo. Amouage's Opus XVI Timber carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a mixed bag, with some calling it a mass-appealing masterpiece and others a Christmas candle knock-off. If you're after a smooth, woody experience without Amouage's usual challenging edge, Timber might be for you, but don't expect it to reinvent the wheel.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its blend of polished woods and warm spices suits formal and date occasions perfectly without being overwhelming. While reviewers note its strong projection and longevity, its refined character makes it suitable for office wear, especially with fewer sprays. It's a bit too distinguished for casual settings and certainly not for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Timber opens with an aromatic blast of cypress and juniper, spiced up with cardamom and pink pepper, alongside a subtle hint of cacao. The heart introduces a resinous, smoky fir and frankincense, softened by herbaceous lavender. The drydown settles into a creamy, smooth blend of sandalwood, cedar, and palo santo, with a touch of vanilla and patchouli adding a grounding sweetness to the rich woody base.
