Velvet Splendour by Goldfield & Banks opens on mimosa, mandarin orange and orange blossom, sunny and a little powdery at once. Jasmine sambac carries the heart, full and slightly heady. The base is where it earns its name: tonka bean, Australian sandalwood and leather combine into something warm, smooth and faintly animalic. Perfumer Wessel-Jan Kos made it as a parfum in 2019, and it suits people who want a fragrance with real weight behind it, not something that fades fast. Voters wear it in winter and autumn, mostly in the evening and at night. The community read leans long-lasting on the skin and strong in the air, going by the votes. A 3ml decant is enough to test it through a run of cold evenings before you decide on more.

The community verdict
Mimosa shapes Velvet Splendour, with mandarin and orange blossom at the start before jasmine sambac, tonka bean and sandalwood emerge. Long-lasting wear leads, with exceptionally long-lasting wear also reported; projection tends towards strong, though moderate has its share. It fits winter evenings, while autumn and nights 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.
