Why this pairing makes sense

How do their notes compare?

For DUA Woods Of Timber 14, useful notes to follow include Pink Pepper, Cardamom, Cypress, Juniper, Frankincense and Palo Santo. Amouage Opus XVI – Timber lists Cypress, Juniper, Cardamom, Pink Pepper, Cocoa and Frankincense among its own notes.

The lists give you specific things to look for, but they cannot tell you how strongly each note will come through. Two fragrances can share several notes and still put a different part of the scent first.

What would we look for in a sample?

We’d compare the cocoa with the incense and woods. Check Opus XVI Timber on the reference bottle rather than interpreting the number in DUA’s name as the edition.

A side-by-side sample is useful here. Give the opening time to settle, then return to both scents later rather than making the call from the first spray. We’d compare the parts you enjoy wearing most, including the quieter finish.

Think about which part of this pairing you want to wear most, then compare the actual bottles on offer. DUA Woods Of Timber 14 gives you DUA’s take on the idea; Amouage Opus XVI – Timber is the reference itself. We’d check bottle size, shipping and return terms before choosing.
