Opus XVI Timber

Signed by Alexis Grugeon, Opus XVI Timber joined Amouage’s Library Collection in 2025. Inspired by the giant sequoias of California and the frankincense trees of Oman, this woody fragrance built almost entirely on woods pairs cypress, cardamom and juniper with lavandin, fir balsam and hojari olibanum, over palo santo, sandalwood, cedar and patchouli.

Cypress, cardamom, juniper, pink pepper and cocoa brighten the opening with their luminous facets. The heart gathers lavandin, fir balsam and precious hojari olibanum, which infuse the fragrance with an aromatic energy and a sense of movement.

A foundation of woods

Palo santo, Bourbon vanilla, sandalwood, cedar and patchouli ground the whole with uncompromising authority, the symbol of a wisdom that changing fashions cannot shake. The house sees in it a tribute to the oldest forms of knowledge, turned towards the knowledge still to be acquired.
