Southern Bloom by Goldfield & Banks opens on tart cassis and mandarin orange before turning properly floral. Boronia sits at the heart alongside jasmine sambac and ylang-ylang, with coconut and iris giving it a tropical, slightly powdery sweetness. Amber, musk, sandalwood and vetiver settle the base into something warm and earthy rather than sugary. Perfumers Francois Merle-Baudoin and Hamid Merati-Kashani built it as a parfum in 2018, and it suits men and women who want a floral that leans tropical rather than delicate. Voters keep it for spring and summer, mainly during the day and often at the office. Wearers lean toward calling it long-lasting, while the sillage read leans more moderate, so it holds without announcing itself. A 3ml decant makes an easy way to live with a tropical floral before buying more.

The community verdict
Long-lasting wear leads for Southern Bloom, though moderate wear is also reported; projection divides between moderate and strong. Cassis and mandarin give way to boronia, coconut and iris, then amber, musk and sandalwood. Its powdery floral sweetness fits spring days, while summer and the office work too.

The house
More from Goldfield & Banks
Goldfield & Banks began in Sydney in 2016, when Dimitri Weber set out to put Australia's landscapes and native plants into perfume. The range is built on woods: sandalwood, vetiver and cedar, warmed by amber and vanilla and lifted by mandarin, bergamot or ginger. Bohemian Lime is the first to try, followed by Silky Woods and Sunset Hour. For something richer, Sunset Hour Dark Peach is sweet amber and vanilla, and Tales of Amber turns up the spice. Ingenious Ginger is brighter, citrus and flowers over a soft vanilla base. Most of the range is made to be shared, so wear whichever calls to you.
