By the editors · 2 min readSilky Woods is the headline fragrance of Goldfield & Banks' commitment to Australian botanicals — specifically agarwood sourced from Queensland, which the house claims is the first such use in commercial perfumery. Saffron and Ceylon cinnamon open with spiced warmth, the cinnamon particularly well-sourced, brighter and less sharp than its Indonesian equivalent. The heart layers suede, ylang-ylang, and jasmine around the oud, the suede's soft leather quality keeping the oud approachable rather than medicinal.
Tahitian vanilla, Australian sandalwood, and tobacco leaf in the base create a genuinely rich drydown — the tobacco adding smokiness without becoming dominant, the sandalwood providing creaminess. Created by Hamid Merati-Kashani, it earns its luxury price point through material quality and an unusual botanical story.
