Description
Warm saffron, suede and Australian oud wrapped in vanilla: a soft, sensual take on oud.
Launched in 2021 and composed by Hamid Merati-Kashani, Silky Woods is the debut of Goldfield & Banks' Botanical Series, built around agarwood from Queensland's Daintree Rainforest. It opens with a spark of saffron and Ceylon cinnamon, moves into a heart of suede, oud, ylang ylang and jasmine, then settles into a creamy base of Tahitian vanilla, Australian sandalwood, tobacco leaf and incense. The oud here is smooth rather than sharp, which is exactly why so many people reach for it.
🍊 Top: Saffron · Ceylon Cinnamon
🌸 Heart: Suede · Agarwood (Oud) · Ylang Ylang · Jasmine
🪵 Base: Tahitian Vanilla · Australian Sandalwood · Tobacco Leaf · Musk · Olibanum
Why you'll love it:
- ✅ A gentle introduction to oud, with vanilla and suede keeping it creamy and wearable
- ✅ Composed by Hamid Merati-Kashani, using sustainably harvested Australian agarwood
- ✅ Wear time reports range from around three to eight hours on skin, and it lasts much longer on clothes
- ✅ Made for autumn and winter, from daytime layers to dinner
- ✅ Unisex, with a warm, spicy and gently gourmand character
Why sample first:
- 💸 A full 100ml bottle is around £180 at UK retailers, so it pays to be sure
- 🔬 Suede, oud and saffron react differently on every skin. Some wearers find the leathery notes too strong or the oud a little medicinal, and projection is reported anywhere from a skin scent to quite strong. A decant is the same juice as the bottle, so a spray or two on your own skin tells you which camp you are in
- 📦 Available in 1ml, 2ml, 5ml, 10ml & 30ml
Our promise:
- 💯 100% authentic, decanted from a genuine retail bottle into spray vials
- 🚀 Fast UK dispatch
- ❤️ Try a modern favourite from the Australian house for yourself, from just £3.99
How is Silky Woods different from Silky Woods Elixir? Reviewers who have worn both describe the original as creamier and softer, and the Elixir as denser, darker and smokier. If you are drawn to the idea of oud but not the intensity, start here, and if you want the full-strength version, sample the pair side by side.
