Goldfield & Banks is an Australian fragrance house known for capturing the essence of the country's landscapes and botanical heritage. Their approach blends natural ingredients with modern perfumery to create distinctive scents that feel both grounded and refined.

Velvet Splendour opens with bright bergamot and citrus notes alongside a subtle leather accord, with rose and ylang ylang introducing the floral character. The heart deepens into a creamy, intoxicating blend of boronia, jasmine, magnolia, and orange blossom, where the ylang ylang adds a honeyed sweetness. The base anchors everything with orris, sandalwood, tonka bean, and vanilla for a soft, powdery finish, while vetiver adds a gentle woody texture. The overall profile is a creamy floral oriental that leans rich and indulgent without becoming cloying.

This works best for those drawn to sophisticated florals with substance. Velvet Splendour performs well as an evening fragrance or cooler-weather signature scent, though its creamy sweetness keeps it wearable year-round. If you gravitate toward fragrances with depth and sensuality, you'll likely appreciate this. Those who enjoy similar scent profiles should explore The Hedonist, The Raconteur, and The Seducer.

bergamot
bergamot
A sun-ripened Italian citrus with a brightness that goes beyond lemon, simultaneously tart, floral, and slightly spicy. It's the defining note of Earl Grey tea and the backbone of countless fresh colognes. Perfumers love it as an opener because it lifts the entire composition without overpowering what follows.
citruses
citruses
leather
leather
One of perfumery's most complex accords, smoky, animalic, and slightly woody, evoking tanned hide, polished saddles, or fine gloves depending on the recipe. Leather adds sophistication and edge simultaneously, and is deeply associated with masculinity in Western perfumery (though the best leather fragrances transcend gender entirely).
rose
rose
The queen of floral notes and the most-used ingredient in fine perfumery. Real rose is simultaneously velvety, honeyed, and slightly spicy, nothing like the synthetic candy version. Depending on the variety used, it can anchor a composition or drift through it like a ghost, adding warmth without dominating.
ylang ylang
ylang ylang
An exotic tropical flower with a dense, almost rubbery sweetness that can border on overwhelming, but in careful hands it adds an unmistakable lushness. It has banana-like and slightly medicinal facets that make it distinctive rather than generically pretty. A staple of heady oriental and vintage-style florals.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
boronia
boronia
jasmine
jasmine
Intoxicating, heady, and slightly animalic, jasmine is one of the few flowers that smells as rich in a bottle as it does climbing a garden wall at dusk. It has an almost fleshy, indolic quality that stops it reading as purely 'clean.' Jasmine is a workhorse in both feminine and masculine perfumery, adding depth and soul.
magnolia
magnolia
Creamy, lush, and faintly lemony, magnolia is a floral note with real presence, richer than peony but more accessible than jasmine. It has a velvety quality and a slight spice that stops it from being simply pretty. Used to add warmth and dimensionality to floral compositions.
orange blossom
orange blossom
Sweeter and more honeyed than neroli (both come from the same tree), orange blossom is a floral note with a warm, almost edible quality. It floats between citrus and floral families, adding richness without weight. A signature note of classic Mediterranean and Middle Eastern perfumery.
ylang ylang
ylang ylang
An exotic tropical flower with a dense, almost rubbery sweetness that can border on overwhelming, but in careful hands it adds an unmistakable lushness. It has banana-like and slightly medicinal facets that make it distinctive rather than generically pretty. A staple of heady oriental and vintage-style florals.
Base · 3–12 hrs
orris
orris
sandalwood
sandalwood
Creamy, smooth, and milky with a soft, skin-like warmth that clings beautifully. True Mysore sandalwood is one of perfumery's most precious ingredients, simultaneously wood and skin, never cold or sharp. It rounds off sharp edges in any composition and makes the wearer smell subtly, irresistibly warmer.
tonka bean
tonka bean
Sweet, powdery, and almond-like with hay-like, slightly tobacco undertones, tonka bean is one of perfumery's most useful base notes. It shares coumarin with fresh hay and freshly cut grass, adding a warmth that feels nostalgic and comforting. Essential in gourmand and soft oriental fragrances.
vanilla
vanilla
Warm, sweet, and universally appealing, vanilla is to fragrance what salt is to cooking. Real vanilla is complex and slightly smoky, though most perfumery vanilla is synthetic and reads as clean, sweet, and creamy. It slows the evaporation of other notes and is the reason certain fragrances feel like a second skin.
vetiver
vetiver
Earthy, smoky, and complex, vetiver root is extracted from a grass native to India and has a scent that is simultaneously rooty, woody, and slightly lemony. It's one of perfumery's great base notes: tenacious, unisex, and endlessly adaptable. A fragrance built around vetiver feels grounded and deeply confident.
