Goldfield & Banks’ founder, Dimitri Weber, discovered the inspiration for Silky Woods, when he captured the essence of deep, verdant green rainforests and the captivating allure of oud in his inaugural Botanical Series fragrance in 2021. Silky Woods epitomises the essence of Australia's sensorial experience and celebrates the nation’s organic abundance of precious Australian agarwood by intertwining notes of suede, exotic vanilla, and smoky tobacco leaves with refined essences of saffron, incense, tropical ylang-ylang, and native Australian sandalwood.
Today, Goldfield & Banks invites you to venture deeper into this majestic rainforest in pursuit of Australian oud’s dark and excessive aroma with the launch of Silky Woods Elixir, a new luxury fragrance for 2024.
United in their unwavering passion for fragrance, Dimitri and esteemed master perfumers, Olivier Cresp and Hamid Merati Kashani, have embarked on a captivating olfactory journey with their latest collaborative masterpiece, Silky Woods Elixir, to celebrate the captivating allure of Australian oud. This sensual blend invites you to indulge in a sensorial journey like no other, through the depths of the ancient and mysterious Daintree Rainforest.
Silky Woods Elixir opens in flurry of green aromatics as verdant as the canopy of the agarwood groves where its essence is born. Heightened by the lushness of sun-ripened figs and the earthen verdure of fig leaves, an overdose of the hypnotic essence of Australian-grown agarwood from the world’s oldest rainforest flourishes, intensifying the depth of the composition, and painting it in rich shades of auburn and gold.
Prized for centuries for its exquisite quality and rarity, the animalic and ambery notes from the precious Oud Assafi combined with the Australian agarwood creates the ultimate luxurious Oud experience on your skin. Against this resounding intensity, iris root lends its soft touch, taming the bitter effect of the fig leaves, with rose lending an exquisite floral dimension to the perfume’s burgeoning heart. As the Elixir deepens, Tolu balsam weaves a rich tapestry, infusing warmth and complexity into a gourmand base of oud, saffron, musk, and oakmoss.
Meticulously crafted to reveal both the heart of the agarwood and its verdant foliage, indulge in the captivating mystique of Silky Woods Elixir. A woody and gourmand perfume, Silky Woods Elixir is for true connoisseurs.
