Encased in molten gold and infused with precious Agarwood, Silky Woods is the aptly named debut fragrance in a luxury collection called the Botanical Series by Goldfield & Banks.
Showcasing the precious wood species harvested sustainably for the first time in perfume history in the Daintree Rainforest in Tropical Queensland, Silky Woods is a delightful and delicate yet very sensual blend that captures Australia’s sensorial experience. This fragrance is a celebration of the abundance of organic ingredients available in Australia, and the home-grown innovation with which they are transformed into essences coveted across the globe.

HOW IT WEARS
The first spritz of Silky Woods reveals a gorgeous, earthy vanilla hit accentuated by honeyed ylang ylang and softly spicy cinnamon. After settling on the skin, the woody notes appear, emboldened by the slight smoke of Incense. The vanilla in Silky Woods isn’t overly sweet, so perfectly paves the way for the rich intensity of the agarwood. This scent has a projection that can be detected 8+ hours after the first delightful spritz. Like the other fragrances in the range, Silky Woods is a parfum extract, so the longevity and strength is there, but without being overpowering.
LORE LOVES
Silky Woods has a complexity and intensity to it that is just intoxicating. It smells like vanilla beans nestled in the folds of an old suede jacket, forgotten in an old barn after a rendezvous with a lover on a warm sunny day. This fragrance can be worn day or night. During the warmer months it will mingle with the heat on the skin and bring the vanilla to life. In the cooler months it will literally warm you with its sweet, musky tones; like a heartfelt hug or a fluffy winter blanket.
ABOUT THE BRAND
Goldfield & Banks, Australia’s first luxury fragrance house, was founded by Sydney-based Dimitri Weber in 2016. After moving to Australia, French-Belgian Weber fell in love with the country’s lush, aromatic, and botanical beauty, and felt compelled to create a perfume line paying tribute to its extraordinary beauty. Combining the science of Australia’s most authentic native essences with centuries of French expertise in the art of perfume making, Goldfield & Banks’ perfumes are a quest for the ultimate Australian olfactory experience.
The Goldfield & Banks range contains an array of carefully chosen native botanicals, selected to create a new and haunting Australian dream – one of burning deserts, sparkling coastal vistas and deep, beautifully scented forests. The sustainable quality of these ingredients represents an innovative and contemporary approach to perfume oil production and showcases Australia’s leading expertise in botanical research and development. The result is a modern yet timeless collection of genderless luxury perfumes for all genders.
