Opus XVI Timber by Amouage is built entirely around wood, dry and resinous from the first spray to the last. Cardamom, cocoa, cypress, juniper berries and pink pepper open it sharp and a little bitter. Fir, lavandin and olibanum move through the heart, keeping it green and slightly smoky rather than sweet. The base is where the timber theme lands: cedar, palo santo, patchouli, sandalwood and vanilla, warm and earthy without turning soft. It suits anyone who wants a scent that reads as solid rather than pretty, worn through the colder months. Voters keep it for fall and winter, and it works equally by day or into the evening and night. Longevity leans long-lasting in the vote, while sillage sits closer to moderate. A 10ml decant is enough to test it through a full season.

More from Amouage
Amouage was founded in Oman in 1983, and its perfumes still carry the country's long history with frankincense and resins. Expect rich, layered compositions: incense and labdanum, saffron and cardamom, rose and jasmine over sandalwood and oud, made to unfold slowly rather than announce themselves. Guidance is the newer face of the range, woody and softly fruity on a warm amber base. Interlude Man is the resinous, spicy one, while Reflection Man sets clean white florals over woods. Honour Woman is a bright, green tuberose for anyone who likes flowers with backbone. A small decant of two or three shows which side of Amouage suits you.
