Silky Woods opens Goldfield & Banks' Botanical Series, devoted to botanicals from elsewhere grown in Australia. It honours an agarwood from the country's tropical north, sustainably harvested, and pays tribute to the botanist Joseph Banks and to the gold rush: its bottle is lacquered in gold.
Ceylon cinnamon and a touch of peach open on a gentle warmth. The heart pairs tobacco leaf with ylang-ylang from Madagascar, then Tahitian vanilla and oud give the base a musky depth, enriched with suede, saffron, incense and sandalwood. A woody gourmand composed by Hamid Merati-Kashani.

Silky Woods in detail
Goldfield & Banks combines Australia with the know-how of French perfumery. Silky Woods belongs to The Botanical Series, devoted to plants from elsewhere grown on Australian soil, such as agarwood. Signed by Hamid Merati-Kashani, it is a sensual, golden oud softened by vanilla.
The official pyramid opens on cinnamon and peach, a spicy, velvety start. The heart pairs tobacco leaf and ylang-ylang, a honeyed warmth and a creamy flower. The base brings together vanilla and oud, which give the fragrance its soft, woody depth.
Silky Woods is worn in the evening, in autumn and winter: a dinner, an evening out, a night out in cold weather. It is an accessible oud, soft rather than dark.
Three woody fragrances in our catalogue share its materials: Bibliothèque by Byredo brings together cinnamon and vanilla around leather; Fat Electrician by Etat Libre d'Orange pairs vanilla with vetiver; Oud Noir Intense by Fragrance Du Bois finds vanilla and oud again in a spicier version.
