Description
Part of the Library Collection, Opus XVI: Timber is an aromatic-woody journey inspired by sacred groves and shadowed rituals. Alexis Grugeon begins with a burst of juniper, cypress, pink pepper, and cocoa-laced cardamom, drawing the wearer into a resinous heart of frankincense, fir, and lavender. The base—palo santo, sandalwood, cedarwood, and vanilla—grounds the composition in warmth and mysticism. A cerebral, deeply textured scent for the modern seeker.
