Amouage, the Omani niche house founded in 1983, builds fragrances around high-quality raw materials and traditional perfumery techniques. Opus XVI Timber is part of their Opus series, a collection exploring different facets of fragrance composition through carefully balanced ingredients.

Opus XVI Timber opens with elemi and olibanum, creating an immediately resinous and slightly citric character. The heart settles into damask rose and more olibanum, softening the initial brightness while maintaining that incense-forward quality. Cedar, myrrh, sandalwood, and vanilla form the base, delivering woody depth with subtle sweetness and a lingering amber-balsamic warmth. The overall effect is contemplative and grounded, balancing florals with woodsy spice and resin.

This is a fragrance for those drawn to incense-based compositions with genuine complexity. It works well for cooler months or evening wear, when its woody-amber character feels most resonant. If you're drawn to fragrances that balance rose with substantive base materials rather than sweetness, Opus XVI Timber deserves attention. You might also connect with The Homesteader, The Romantic, and The Sensualist.

Fragrance Notescommunity verified
Top · 0–30 min
Elemi
Elemi
Light, piney, and slightly citrusy resin from the Philippines, elemi is frankincense's more approachable, transparent cousin. It has a fresh, almost lemony sharpness alongside its resinous warmth, making it useful in both fresh and oriental compositions. A bridge between sharp and deep, fresh and warm.
Olibanum
Olibanum
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Damask Rose
Damask Rose
The most storied rose variety in perfumery, Rosa damascena, grown primarily in Bulgaria and Turkey, produces an oil of unparalleled depth and complexity. It is simultaneously honeyed, spicy, and slightly green, with a richness no synthetic can fully match. When you smell 'rose' in a fine fragrance, this is most often what you're smelling.
Olibanum
Olibanum
Base · 3–12 hrs
Cedar
Cedar
Myrrh
Myrrh
Deep, bittersweet, and slightly medicinal, myrrh is a resin with a complex, almost anise-like quality that sets it apart from frankincense. It adds a dark, almost sacred quality to oriental fragrances and is more challenging and assertive than its biblical companion. A note that rewards patience.
Sandalwood
Sandalwood
Creamy, smooth, and milky with a soft, skin-like warmth that clings beautifully. True Mysore sandalwood is one of perfumery's most precious ingredients, simultaneously wood and skin, never cold or sharp. It rounds off sharp edges in any composition and makes the wearer smell subtly, irresistibly warmer.
Vanilla
Vanilla
Warm, sweet, and universally appealing, vanilla is to fragrance what salt is to cooking. Real vanilla is complex and slightly smoky, though most perfumery vanilla is synthetic and reads as clean, sweet, and creamy. It slows the evaporation of other notes and is the reason certain fragrances feel like a second skin.
