Desert Rosewood is a rich, resinous, leathery fragrance that evokes images of the thick, arid forests of the Victorian Central Highlands. 

Just like a rejuvenating bush walk through the Central Highlands under the warming sun, this scent is like breathing in crisp yet earthy bush air – the bark of the trees, a slight dryness in the air with a soft and warm resinous base. Goldfield & Banks Desert Rosewood is a scent for all genders, it speaks of adventures through thick forests where ancient trees and fresh young ferns provide a mingling of old and new, rich and herbaceous.

NOTES

HOW IT WEARS
Opening with sparkling citrus and the bright greenness of cardamom, Desert Rosewood quickly develops to reveal its earthy, woody heart. Sharp nutmeg is tempered by the soft sweetness of violet and vanilla, which work together to enhance the resinous woody tones of the hero of this scent, the Australian rosewood. The base of benzoin resin and patchouli is like the floor of dense bushland, grounding the scent. With excellent longevity, Desert Rosewood, as a Parfum, will last on the skin for 8-10 hours. 

LORE LOVES
Desert Rosewood is such an interesting scent – on paper it seems like it would be a fairly standard warm, spicy, woody scent, but the addition of benzoin (and perhaps even the violet) adds a dusty, powdery quality that is redolent of Australia’s distinctive red earth. If you’ve ever gone on a bushwalk and experienced being in dense bushland paved with red earth, the smell of native greenery and bark in the air, you will find yourself moved by this fragrance. 

ABOUT THE BRAND

    Another evocative scent from Goldfield & Banks. This is a bright spicy rose with incredible depth and tenacity. Sure to garner compliments (I have had many while wearing this). Sweet, sexy and seductive.

    What can I say? This fragrance rocks! I’m not even a perfume person but this was sprayed on a card in a delivery for face cream I had ordered. Well….I was back online within 5 minutes ordering Desert Rosewood and might I add the best decision EVER. Highly recommend to all. One of the greatest scents I’ve ever come across.

    Very pleased customer

    One of 4 fragrances from this new Australian house.
    Desert Rosewood opens up with a burst of boozy amber and quickly settles into woody vanilla vibe.
    But what i really like about this is that it is a dry sweetness, probably assisted by the cardamom note.
    After about an hour this has settled nicely on the benzoin and rosewood base all the while with a hint of sharpness from something, maybe the listed mandarin and cardamom notes hanging around.
    It may have been because i was sniffing them both the night before, but this is almost what you would get if a fragrance had the same bloodlines as both Chergui and L’air du desert Marocain. It certainly has the dry desert air vibe with a touch of sweetness.
    4.5 out of 5
