Silky Woods is a masterful creation that marries the mystique of precious Agarwood with the lush, untamed beauty of Australia's Daintree Rainforest. This debut fragrance from Goldfield & Banks' new luxury Botanical Series is not just a scent, but an olfactory celebration of sustainable luxury and the rich, aromatic diversity of Australia.
Encased in a bottle that mirrors the opulence of molten gold, Silky Woods encapsulates a blend of exotic and meticulously sourced ingredients, making it a cornerstone of eco-conscious and luxurious perfumery. The use of Agarwood, also known as oud, harvested sustainably from Tropical Queensland, marks a historic achievement in perfume crafting, bringing a revered and deeply aromatic wood into the composition in a way that respects both its legacy and rarity.
The fragrance opens with a modern sillage of suede, which provides a soft, textural backdrop that enhances the other elements. This smooth suede note blends seamlessly with the exotic richness of vanilla and the deep, resonant tones of smoky tobacco leaves, creating a warm and enveloping introduction that invites deeper exploration.
The heart of Silky Woods is a sophisticated mélange of saffron and incense, both of which lend their distinctive spice and smoky mystique to the composition. These elements are beautifully balanced by the floral sweetness of ylang ylang, adding a touch of softness and femininity to the otherwise rich and intense profile.
Australian native sandalwood introduces a creamy, woody base that complements the oud's complexity. This local ingredient not only anchors the fragrance with its earthy depth but also highlights Goldfield & Banks' dedication to showcasing Australian botanicals in a luxurious context.
