The story behind the bottle.
Opus XVI Timber by Amouage, launched in 2025 and crafted by Alexis Grugeon, is a Woody aromatic fragrance that merges fresh and warm spiciness with rich amber undertones. The opening notes of cypress and juniper create an immediate sense of crispness and freshness, which gives way to the warmth of cardamom and pink pepper. As the composition evolves, it settles into a base of cocoa, frankincense, sandalwood, and cedarwood, offering a grounding and comforting finish. This fragrance embodies Amouage's blend of traditional Middle Eastern ingredients with contemporary perfumery techniques.
Apply this fragrance with a moderate amount — the fresh spicy notes fade within an hour, but the woody and amber base persists for hours. It’s best enjoyed close to skin rather than across a room, making it perfect for intimate settings or quiet afternoons.
