It opens on ripe fig and the spiced glow of saffron, moves into a powdery heart of orris root and smoky guaiac wood, then settles on vanilla, Peru and tolu balsams, cypriol and a double dose of oud, Firmenich's Oud Assafi alongside tropical Australian agarwood. Reviewers describe it as balmy, creamy and unusually smooth for an oud, with the fig keeping the sweetness from turning heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow It Differs From Silky Woods EDP\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilky Woods EDP (2021)\u003c\/strong\u003e: the lighter, smoother original: a golden vanilla-suede wood with a touch of smoky spice, and relatively soft sillage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilky Woods Elixir (2023)\u003c\/strong\u003e: darker, more resinous and balsamic, with fig, saffron and orris added, and much stronger projection and longevity at extrait strength.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChoose the EDP\u003c\/strong\u003e for an easy daily vanilla-wood; \u003cstrong\u003echoose the Elixir\u003c\/strong\u003e for evenings and for presence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eScent Character\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-venba-scent-character\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWoody\u003c\/strong\u003e: 43%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSweet\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOud\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFloral\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpicy\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFresh\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTranslation:\u003c\/em\u003e the woods carry almost half of the character (guaiac, cypriol and clearwood) with vanilla and balsam sweetness next and a genuine oud fraction running through it.

The Elixir is darker and much stronger. The original is lighter and smoother.
