What does Opus XVI - Timber smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is chosen most for evenings and nights out. Nearly half of voters read it as masculine, though it wears as unisex.

The top notes of cardamom, pink pepper and juniper open spicy and cool, softened by cocoa and cypress. In the heart, fir balsam and Omani green frankincense turn resinous and smoky, with a touch of lavender to lighten it. The base of Bourbon vanilla, Palo Santo, cedarwood and sandalwood settles into a creamy, sweet woodiness.
