Creamy wood
Today it's time for a first review of Silky Woods. Normally we associate Goldfield & Banks more with fresh scents or soft fragrances. Wood Infusion was already an exception. Silky Woods takes a whole new direction here and breaks new ground for Goldfield & Banks. Honestly, I never expected a release like this from Goldfield & Banks. I took some time to review here and tested Silky Woods extensively.

Silky Woods doesn't have any distinctly standout notes for me, which I find really interesting. I have very rarely experienced anything like this until now. Here we have a very interesting and incredibly harmonious combination of sweet notes: Saffron, Vanilla, Cinnamon and Ylang-Ylang. These notes combine with the woody, smoky notes: Incense, Oud, Sandalwood, Tobacco. The suede surprises me, I can't detect this one at all. The whole pictures a creamy, sweet and woody unity. Silky Woods is more of an overall picture of the individual notes. Even as it progresses Silky Woods remains absolutely linear, there is simply hardly any change here. I had a consistent scent here for 8-9 hours. This creamy woody note is really unique.

The nature of Silky Woods is clearly something unusual. However, I really like the concept. Silky Woods is a perfume that will please almost everyone. The reason is certainly that the notes such as leather, oud, tobacco and vanilla are not prominent.

Silky Woods is absolutely unisex, here really no tendency in one direction can be perceived.

The price on the other hand is ambitious for a Goldfield & Banks, 199€ is a bit too much in my opinion, because Goldfield & Banks are not extremely strong perfumes. Here it is not uncommon to use 5-6 sprays and then the price is already a bit high.

A fragrance that invites you to dream..
This is my first review on EssenceVitae, however, the timing could not have been more ideal.

When I sprayed Silky Woods on my skin for the first time yesterday I was instantly enchanted. Vanilla, cinnamon, wood and leather in such a coherent, balanced, warm and cozy composition, which is perfectly complemented by smoky, spicy notes.

The fragrance notes of Silky Woods blend absolutely harmoniously into an almost linear accord. Neither sweetness, nor spice dominates.

Personally, I find that wood and incense assert themselves a little more strongly at the very end, however, all components are still well perceptible until then.

The shelf life is good, with me about 8 hours (on clothes 10-12).
The fragrance radiates well, but is not intrusive.

I am very happy to have supplemented my collection by this fragrance, especially since actually two more seasoned contenders for this fall / winter were on my wish list.

I say goodbye with a comforting, secure feeling and would like both you men, as well as you women, absolutely advise this fragrance in the future to consider.

Immediately yes
Omg! You guys!!! Get on this! I just purchased a bottle from Costco for $130!

This fragrance is a stunning, sweet vanilla tree hugger. Addictive suede and cinnamon combine to dance deep in the woods like no one’s watching. I crave this dark sweet vibe and get major hype when I wear it.

The vanilla comes out stronger and more potent the longer I’ve had my decant. A total banger for sure. Absolutely full of comforting warmth while remaining impressive and unique in my collection.

A hug in the fireside lounge
This fragrance feels like a hug.

The first impression: a room with a fireplace, dark wooden floors, a crumpled leather sofa, a smoky whiskey on the table. It's cozy, even a little sexy, but also a little rough. If you move closer to the whiskey glass, the vanilla comes and nestles in. Despite the clear cinnamon note, the fragrance is not Christmassy or even candy-sticky.
It is very soft and yet has depth. And much to my delight, the oud neither hides nor is it too prominent.
The only thing I would have liked is a slightly better longevity, so that the dream of the fireplace room lasts a little longer.

A very successful, multi-layered composition with the potential to become a favorite fragrance.

Woody vanilla with a hint of suede and spices
If Vanilla Woods Eau de Parfum and Vanilla Royale Sugared Patchouli | 64 had made a sophisticated child, this would be it. On my skin, the woody vanilla accord, reminiscent of Vanilla Woods, is the strongest. When I bring my nose to my skin and inhale deeply, I detect a faint scent of spices and suede. There's a leathery sweet accord at the edge of the scent that reminds me of Kayali's perfume. I do not detect and tobacco and ylang-ylang.

There's really not much else to say as it dries down into a generic woody vanilla perfume. The longevity is also quite plain for a niche perfume. For the price, I was expecting something more. It's very feminine-leaning, a bit rich vibes, but also clean and perky. There's no dirt in the notes or the accords, but also no surprises or delightful notes that made me go "Wow!". I'm sure there are better bang-for-your-bucks perfume that are part of the same family with which you can get at a much lower price.

Cozy scent with a creamy sandalwood, a sweet and smoky vanilla (incense) and an intoxicating and a bit boozy amber. Some leather in the base

Smooth woody vanilla with a hint of suede and spices. Clean, soft and feminine-leaning, but with a disapointing price point.

Similar profile to Babycat but without the volume, attitude or charm. This is washed out by comparison.
