Robust, hearty floral gem, classic meets modern
Goldfield & Banks Velvet Splendou is a floral/fresh/spicy/resinous blend that’s as velvety smooth as its name suggests. It has an opulent, powdery quality that smells like grand perfumes of old, with plenty of florals, citruses, and resins. The standout notes to me are heliotrope, oppoponax, tonka, mandarin, patchouli, leather, and vetiver. It leans traditionally feminine, at least on my skin, and performs outstandingly—I’d certainly like to try it some more and would encourage others to, also, perhaps as part of a discovery set, which I’ve found to be a lot of fun to go through, scent by scent. Overall, Velvet Splendour is rich and has a classy timelessness to it, and fits in nicely within the collection as something new.
It’s priced at $190 for 100ml like most of the current main collection and is sold via retailers like Perfumology.
