Goldfield & Banks Australia Silky Woods Elixir is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Olivier Cresp. Silky Woods Elixir opens with Saffron and Fig, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, Clearwood, Musk, and Guaiac Wood, and dries down to a base of Oud and Vanilla. Goldfield & Banks Australia's Silky Woods Elixir carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Divisive, bold, and unapologetic; this Elixir takes the original Silky Woods DNA and amps it up, leaning into a masculine-leaning wood bomb. Not a safe blind buy, as it splits opinion between a rich, complex vanilla-wood dream and an acrid, chemical mess with an ashtray opening. Sample first if you dare.

About

Silky Woods Elixir opens with a potent blast of woody notes and fig, quickly transitioning to a heart of guaiac wood and cypriol oil, draped in warm, balsamic amber. Vanilla and musk emerge in the drydown, softened by elusive saffron and a hint of dusty orris, creating a deep, enveloping warmth. The journey from initial sharp woods to a smooth, sweet finish is complex, with rose and oud providing an underlying current of sophistication.
