Amouage Opus XVI Timber Eau de Parfum

Opus XVI opens with an imposing presence: a solid, vertical, almost monolithic wood structure. But it only takes a few moments for the fragrance to reveal a multitude of nuances. The luminous, woody facets of cypress, cardamom, and lavandin bring clarity and brilliance.. Then come incense, juniper and fir balsam, each with its own vital and dynamic energy, which animates the composition like a moving impulse.. Finally, palo santo, sandalwood, cedarwood and patchouli ground the entire olfactory architecture with a firm, unshakable authority—a symbol of a wisdom that never lets itself be swept away by fashion.. Immensely vast, sculpted yet incredibly accessible, Opus XVI Timber celebrates the most ancestral forms of knowledge while looking optimistically to the wisdom yet to be conquered.. Concentration: 25% Aging: 5 weeks (3 maceration, 2 maturation)
