The inaugural release in the premium Botanical Series, Silky Woods is a modern, luxurious interpretation of precious agarwood. It pays direct homage to the organic, sustainable harvesting of unique Australian agarwood from the tropical rainforests of Far North Queensland. The fragrance captures a distinct sensory duality, juxtaposing the raw, unrefined power of exotic dark woods against a remarkably smooth, fluid, and gourmand silkiness. It shifts effortlessly from a soft, golden warmth into a deep, mesmerizingly dark shadow.
Olfactory Pyramid:
Top Notes: Ceylon Cinnamon, Peach
Heart Notes: Tobacco Leaves, Madagascar Ylang-Ylang
Base Notes: Tahitian Vanilla, Australian Agarwood
Vibe: Creamy-woody, rich-gourmand, smooth-suede, and intensely comforting.
What are the notes in Goldfield & Banks Silky Woods? Ceylon cinnamon and peach at the top, tobacco leaves and ylang-ylang in the heart, and Tahitian vanilla and Australian agarwood in the base. Composed by Hamid Merati-Kashani.
Is it an oud fragrance? Agarwood sits in the base, softened by vanilla and tobacco, so it reads creamy and warm rather than smoky.
