Goldfield & Banks Wood Infusion

Wood Infusion is Goldfield & Banks' woody aromatic tribute to the wilderness of K'gari (Fraser Island), launched in 2016 and created by perfumer Hamid Merati-Kashani. Described by the house as celebrating "the abundance of Australia's noble woods," this is an approachable, refined take on oud that balances exotic richness with wearable elegance.

The fragrance opens with the brightness of sweet orange, unfolding into a heart of Australian lavender, Italian iris, and amber — a blast of wood accented by citrus that smells like freshly cut wood, settling into spicy and aromatic notes that don't overwhelm the sandalwood and oud. This is the fragrance for those who like the scent of oud but don't love how strong it can be — a light, musky oud that's still unique and earthy but not oppressive or overly intense.

The base layers warm amber and island musk with exotic woods, agarwood, and Indonesian patchouli to create a creamy, enduring foundation that is both grounding and sophisticated. With fabulous longevity as an EDP with high parfum concentration, Wood Infusion will last 8-10 hours on the skin. The dry down is a smooth, musky, woody scent that has an edge of freshness to it.

Community comparisons most frequently land on Tom Ford Oud Wood — Wood Infusion is a cousin, opening brightly and drying down more darkly with a similar-enough character throughout. If you've been curious about Australia's first luxury fragrance house or want an oud that wears close to skin without overwhelming, this is an excellent place to start sampling.
