Goldfield & Banks Australia Island Lush is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Amélie Jacquin. Island Lush opens with Bergamot, Pink Pepper, Nutmeg, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Cedar, Guaiac Wood, Iris, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Leather, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Goldfield & Banks Australia's Island Lush carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Divisive and aptly named, yet not for the reasons you'd expect. Forget tropical cocktails; this is a dense, spicy, leathery beast some call a masterpiece, others burnt toast. Try before you buy, it's certainly a conversation starter.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong woody, spicy, and leathery accords, and mentions of impressive longevity and projection, this scent is better suited to date nights or formal events. It may be too bold for an office setting and definitely not for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Island Lush opens with a warming burst of nutmeg and ginger, brightened by bergamot and a hint of pink pepper. This spicy introduction quickly deepens, revealing a powdery iris and a robust, woody heart of guaiac wood and cedar. The dry down settles into a creamy, earthy blend of rich leather, smooth sandalwood, vetiver, and patchouli, softened by benzoin.
