What do reviewers say about Opus XVI – Timber and Ébène Fumé (Eau de Parfum)?
If you want subtle, look elsewhere. Opus XVI Timber announces itself and holds the room. The cardamom-pink pepper opening is loud, the frankincense heart is reverent, and the guaiac-cedar-sandalwood.Opus XVI – Timber
This is not a crowd-pleaser. Ébène Fumé demands attention with its smoky, leathery heart and the persistent presence of guaiac wood. A scent for ritual, not for compliments.Ébène Fumé (Eau de Parfum)
