Opus XVI Timber

by Alexis Grugeon

Amouage Opus XVI Timber is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Alexis Grugeon. The fragrance opens with Cacao Pod, Juniper, Cypress, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Lavender, Fir Resin, and Frankincense, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Cedar, and Palo Santo.

Our verdict on Opus XVI Timber: Acquired

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.

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.

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.
