WOOD INFUSION

Wood Infusion is an eau de parfum by Goldfield & Banks, the Australian luxury perfume house founded by Dimitri Weber. Signed by perfumer Hamid Merati-Kashani, among the brand's first creations, it is a creamy, rich woody aromatic fragrance that celebrates the abundance of Australia's noble woods with a profound, sophisticated character.

The Fragrance

Wood Infusion is born from the pristine wilderness of K'gari, the island also known as Fraser Island, off the coast of Queensland and a World Heritage site: a lush, balmy landscape facing the Pacific Ocean, whose profound woodland spirit the perfume sets out to capture. It is an exotic infusion of Australian woods, enriched with velvety agarwood, smooth sandalwood and the powdery elegance of Italian orris, which the brand describes as both grounding and sophisticated. Like all of the house's creations, it combines Australian raw materials with French savoir-faire, at a concentration of 20% essences and botanicals.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is sparkling and bright: sweet orange lights up the fragrance with a sunny, almost buttery note. In the heart, soft, aromatic Australian lavender, powdery, elegant Italian orris and earthy, deep Indonesian patchouli unfold. As the hours pass, the fragrance settles on a creamy, enveloping base of Australian exotic woods, velvety agarwood and sandalwood album, warmed by amber and softened by musk.

Who We Recommend Wood Infusion To

We recommend Wood Infusion to anyone who loves woody fragrances and wants to discover oud in a soft, creamy, refined version, far from the more intense, animalic interpretations. It is perfect in autumn and winter, at the office as well as on elegant occasions. It is predominantly masculine in character, but suits everyone: anyone who loves noble woods and powdery notes will find it irresistible.

FAQ

What is K'gari?
K'gari, also known as Fraser Island, is the largest sand island in the world, off the coast of Queensland, Australia, and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its lush forests inspired Wood Infusion, which sets out to capture their profound woodland spirit.

Does Wood Infusion contain oud?
Yes: among the botanicals declared by Goldfield & Banks is agarwood, the wood that oud comes from. In Wood Infusion, however, it is interpreted in a soft, creamy way, blended with sandalwood, Australian woods and orris, for an elegant, easy-to-wear result.

Does Wood Infusion smell like Tom Ford Oud Wood?
It is the most frequent comparison among fragrance lovers, because of its blend of woods, oud and creamy notes. Wood Infusion, however, has a personality all its own: Australian lavender and Italian orris make it more aromatic and powdery, with a unique Australian soul.

When should I wear Wood Infusion?
It is perfect in autumn and winter, when creamy woods and amber show their best, but its understated elegance also makes it suitable for the office and everyday wear. For a stronger trail, we recommend spraying it on clothes too.
