Opus XVI begins with tremendous monumentality: a firm, sturdy, boldly vertical expression of woods. However, within moments, the scent begins to reveal a wealth of nuances. The bright, woody facets of Cypress, Cardamom and Lavandin add luminosity. Frankincense, Juniper and Fir Balsam introduce their own uniquely kinetic energy, giving this Eau de Parfum the poise of a formal event and the stature of a luxury gift. Finally, Palo Santo, Sandalwood, Cedar wood and Patchouli ground the whole with their uncompromising authoritativeness: symbols of a wisdom that remains firm and is not swayed by the tides of changing fashions. 

Vast, monolithic and yet never anything less than approachable, Opus XVI Timber celebrates the most primal, most natural forms of past knowledge while keeping its optimistic sights set on the wisdom yet to be acquired in the future.

The dry-down is where this one truly shines—that bold, vertical wood opening settles into something surprisingly intricate, with bright woody notes peeking through the monumentality. It lasts a solid six hours on my skin, and I keep catching whiffs of it hours later.
