Velvet Splendour

Velvet Splendour from Goldfield & Banks Australia is a woody floral, released in 2019 and composed by Wessel-Jan Kos. Woods lead, florals are almost as strong for most people, and a minority also notice sweetness, leather and citrus.

Mandarin and orange blossom bring a bright, slightly sweet citrus glow at the start. The heart is built on jasmine sambac and mimosa: the jasmine full and creamy, the mimosa soft, powdery and faintly honeyed. Underneath, sandalwood, including Australian sandalwood, gives a smooth, milky woodiness, and vetiver adds a dry, earthy, slightly smoky edge. Leather and tonka bean lend a supple, suede-like warmth to the base.

Worn by anyone, it feels polished and warm, suited to evenings, dinners and cooler days, though the citrus keeps it wearable in daylight. It suits someone who likes elegant woody florals with a soft, velvety texture rather than sharp freshness.
