Description
Amouage Opus XVI Timber Eau de Parfum Sample
Opus XVI Timber is a woody Eau de Parfum built around a vivid structure of cypress, cardamom, juniper, fir balsam, Hojari frankincense and polished woods. It begins fresh, resinous and aromatic, then settles into a dry, substantial base of palo santo, sandalwood, cedarwood, patchouli and a restrained touch of bourbon vanilla.
The result is a composed, woods-first fragrance with a formal, architectural feel rather than a sweet or smoky wood scent. Bright cypress and spice give the opening lift; frankincense and fir balsam bring a green-resinous dimension; the base feels smooth, dry and grounded.
Fragrance profile: woody, aromatic, resinous, warm spicy, incense, cedarwood, sandalwood and soft vanilla.

What does Amouage Opus XVI Timber smell like?
Timber smells distinctly woody from the start, but it is not flat or heavy. Cypress, juniper and cardamom create a cool, aromatic lift. Frankincense and fir balsam make the middle feel resinous and green, while sandalwood, cedarwood, palo santo and patchouli create a dry, smooth foundation. A small vanilla note softens the base without turning it into a gourmand fragrance.
Who is Amouage Opus XVI Timber for?
- Those who enjoy refined woody fragrances with incense, coniferous freshness and warm spice.
- People looking for an Amouage composition that feels structured, polished and less floral than many modern niche releases.
- Anyone who prefers a dry cedar-and-sandalwood style over overt sweetness.
When should you wear Amouage Opus XVI Timber?
- Fall, winter and cooler evenings, when the resinous woods can develop fully.
- Dinners, formal occasions and settings where a poised, substantial woody scent fits naturally.
- It can also work in cooler daytime weather with a lighter application.
Why buy an Amouage Opus XVI Timber sample before the full bottle?
Timber’s balance of cypress, frankincense, fir balsam and dry woods can read very differently depending on skin chemistry. Sampling lets you see whether you experience more of the bright aromatic opening, the resinous incense heart or the sandalwood-and-cedar drydown before committing to the 100 mL retail bottle.
