How does this compare to other fragrances in the Opus collection?+−
Opus XVI - Timber is generally considered more wearable and less aggressive than previous entries like Silver Oud or Royal Tobacco. It trades experimental "shock value" for a sophisticated, grounded woody-spicy profile that fits better into a daily routine.
Is this a safe fragrance for the office?+−
Yes. Because the projection is more intimate and the scent profile focuses on clean cedar, lavender, and frankincense, it is highly suitable for business environments where a louder fragrance might be distracting.
How long can I expect the scent to stay on my skin?+−
Despite its modest projection, the fragrance is known for its high longevity. You can expect it to last through a full workday, though it will settle into a skin scent of sandalwood and vanilla by the evening.
Is this more masculine or feminine?+−
While marketed as unisex, the heavy emphasis on cypress, juniper, and cedarwood gives it a traditional woody-spicy character that many find leans slightly masculine, though the creamy vanilla and sandalwood base makes it accessible for anyone.
