Goldfield & Banks Australia Island Lush is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Amélie Jacquin.

Our verdict on Island Lush: Acquired

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.

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.

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.
