Spicy resinous woody multifaceted blend, sophisticatedly done
First proper sampling of Goldfield & Banks Desert Rosewood, a fresh, spicy, woody scent that has citruses, rosewood, cardamom, benzoin, patchouli, and even some vanilla, though it’s not notably sweet. The resins are seemingly at the center, making it robust and classy, a bit of a four-season option that pairs a fresh woody aspect with spicy and dark resins, a bit savory but more so naturalistic and outdoorsy.
In its spicy resinousness, it also ever so slightly reminds me of one of the incarnations of Yves Saint Lauren M7, the celebrated men’s release from 20 years ago, but without some of its oud-laden, semi-animalic bite, pivoting instead toward something a bit more herbal and fresh.
Desert Rosewood is priced at $190 for 100ml and, as with the rest of the house, is sold at boutiques in the US like Perfumology. Overall I think it’s very nicely done, with very good performance, a classy multifaceted versatile blend, a really sturdy offering for the house.
