Goldfield & Banks Australia Velvet Splendour is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Wessel-Jan Kos. Velvet Splendour opens with Mandarin, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Jasmine, and Mimosa, and dries down to a base of Leather, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Goldfield & Banks Australia's Velvet Splendour carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Velvet Splendour is a divisive scent, celebrated by some as a luxurious, classy throwback, while others dismiss it as an "old lady" floral. If you appreciate a vintage, powdery mimosa with a strong presence, you'll likely swoon for this one. Otherwise, prepare for a potential clash.

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.

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.

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

Imagine burying your face in a sun-baked bouquet of mimosa, jasmine, and orange blossom, all wrapped in a velvet ribbon of tonka bean and sandalwood. A bright mandarin zest cuts through the initial powdery sweetness, leading to a creamy, woody dry-down with hints of earthy patchouli and a whisper of soft leather. It's unapologetically floral but grounded by a warm, embracing base.
