How does the Elixir differ from the original Silky Woods?+−
The Elixir is less sweet and significantly woodier than the original. It incorporates more complex oud varieties and earthy elements like oakmoss and fig leaf, while using ambroxan to give the composition a more modern, airy lift compared to the dense vanilla of the first version.
Is Silky Woods Elixir suitable for daytime wear?+−
While it can be worn during the day in colder climates, its smoky, resinous, and "dark" character is most frequently recommended for evening wear, formal occasions, or nights out.
Does this fragrance have a strong oud presence?+−
Yes, it features both Australian oud and Oud Assafi. However, the oud is described as "silky" and smooth rather than "barnyard" or medicinal, blended seamlessly with vanilla and Peru balsam for a creamy finish.
How long does the fragrance last on the skin?+−
As an Extrait de Parfum with a high concentration of oils, it is known for its exceptional longevity, typically lasting over ten hours. It remains noticeable on clothing for several days.
