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.

Powdery Fresh Linen

To me, this fragrance is a soft, fresh, clean smell. Very feminine, but also very unremarkable.

The opening note is powdery floral. I especially detect the lavender, jasmine and orange blossoms. The hint of citrus gives it a fresh feel but isn't overpowering. It settles into a nice, clean, unobtrusive smell. This could easily be a signature scent that you can wear to the office all year long and no one would ever complain or think twice about it. In fact, it smells so much like a dryer sheet or laundry detergent, everyone will just think you are a very clean person!

On the other hand, that means this fragrance my feel blasé to some. You likely won't get many compliments, since people may just assume the smell is coming from your clothing or, as someone else mentioned, hand lotion.

Velvet Splendour

Apparently this fragrance would like to recreate the smell of immersing your face in a bouquet of flowers with the sun warming the air... I'll start by saying that I don't perceive this sensation.
I find the opening very harsh (perhaps the mandarin is already involved), which gradually softens, giving way to the white flowers, which however I don't find as engaging as if I felt them live.
A pleasant, flowery fragrance, but nothing more.

The Velvety Splendor ... or Underarm Happiness

Actually, I wanted the Pacific Rock Moss - but unfortunately, it was reserved at the main perfumery, so I stood around a bit grumpily. My saleswoman then said that the Splendour would suit me better anyway. I knew it, found it rather okay, but well, let's give it a sniff.

But what I got was something completely different: An incredible mimosa bathed in sandalwood, woven into a beautifully velvety scent with slightly woody-soapy notes. At first, it is zesty, but in the dry down, it becomes very soft. When I read the comments here, the term "Chanellig" came up, and yes, that fits very well. It is incredibly soft, classic, and yet there is no scratching patchouli here; you can hardly smell individual notes, and my nemesis, jasmine, behaves very nose-friendly. Together with the resins, it creates an incredibly deep fragrance that doesn't overwhelm anyone with its sillage. It is subtle, but it has a great presence here.

I have been wearing it on my forearm for several hours now and I'm hooked. It has the right balance of punch and finesse for me. I think I have fallen in love - even though it is rated less well here: Give it a chance, it is beautifully soft, versatile, and just not a heavy hitter. Especially when all the teenagers smelling like Erba Pura and BR540 dupes are annoying you, this is like nose wellness. Seriously.

Not really my thing

Unfortunately, Velvet Splendour and I will not get along. Somehow, I don't really like the scent character here, even though I am quite fond of most of the fragrance notes.

The blend of mimosa, vetiver, sandalwood, vetiver, jasmine, and mandarin doesn't appeal to me much and seems a bit old-fashioned to my nose. The scent suits women over 40 very well, as it has a more mature quality (just my personal opinion).

The longevity is quite good here, and the sillage is also in a good middle range. When I tested the perfume, it lasted about 6 hours on my skin.

"Velvet Splendour" was unfortunately more of a flop for me, even though I wouldn't call it terrible or anything like that. It was just simply not my thing, and I will be passing on my sample.
