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 white floral-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.

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.
