Royal Timber tracks Musk & Oud Wood Malaki through the same olfactory backbone — the shared signature notes are Saffron, Aged Oud, Sandalwood, Aged Agarwood, Royal Amber. On our 16-facet scent-DNA model the two profiles overlap by about 96%, both sitting in the Woody Oriental family, so it delivers the same opening-to-drydown character at a fraction of the retail price.
