Cinnamon gives a sweet, warm spice, tobacco leaf a dry, faintly sweet leafy tone. The pairing sets the gourmand, woody direction at once, before any wood has been named.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA soft centre\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYlang-ylang from Madagascar and Tahitian vanilla follow in the brand's description. Ylang-ylang is creamy and lightly fruity-floral, vanilla smooth and sweet, and together they make the spice rounder. This is where the gourmand side of the brand's classification becomes clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe agarwood base\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the brand's description, agarwood provides the distinctive musky depth, softened by suede and enriched with saffron, incense and sandalwood. The result is dark, resinous and smooth rather than sharp. The classification as Woody and Gourmand fits that mix of wood and sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCold months, evenings\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a deep, warm scent, so it belongs to autumn and winter and to evenings out. As an Eau de Parfum with agarwood and incense in the base it carries well; start with two sprays on the chest or neck and keep it for the cold days rather than summer heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnisex, like the whole range. It suits people who enjoy warm, resinous perfumes with some sweetness and a trace of smoke, and who are comfortable wearing something with presence. If you want a light, fresh scent for the office, this is the wrong direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Goldfield \u0026amp; Banks Silky Woods\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSilky Woods is the debut of the house's Botanical Series, created by Hamid Merati-Kashani. The brand's text for it refers to the botanist Joseph Banks's first voyage to Australia and to the Gold Rush, the two ideas behind the name Goldfield \u0026amp; Banks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat makes the agarwood unusual?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe brand says it was sustainably harvested for perfumery for the first time, from tropical rainforest in Queensland. Beyond that it only describes the wood as the source of a distinctive musky depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs it sweet or smoky?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth, in measure. Vanilla and cinnamon bring sweetness, while tobacco leaf, suede, incense and agarwood add dryness and a hint of smoke. The brand files it as Woody and Gourmand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDoes it suit daytime?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn cold weather it can, but its character is dense and warm, so evenings and the colder months suit it best. In summer heat it would feel heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat is the bottle like?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn Eau de Parfum in a 100 ml bottle of French glass, lacquered gold with 24-carat gold powder and finished with a wooden cap.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Goldfield \u0026 Banks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67658695475352,"sku":"GBA-SILKY-WOODS-EDP-100ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/1157\/8520\/files\/goldfield-banks-silky-woods-eau-de-parfum-100ml.webp?v=1791360603","url":"https:\/\/nichegems.eu\/products\/goldfield-banks-silky-woods-eau-de-parfum-100ml","provider":"NicheGems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
