I wasn’t at Esxence in Milan this year but I got reports from our editor-in-chief, Michelyn, on the ground. One news bite I was especially excited about was that Goldfield and Banks was launching a new perfume. I had met Dimitri Weber, the founder and creative director of the brand, last year and had fallen hard for the line. Michelyn and Ida Meister fell as well and included the new Goldfield and Banks Velvet Splendour as one of “the best in show” in Milan this year and cited it as a great example of the trend in using indigenous ingredients in perfume. I was very excited to try this new release. Goldfield and Banks Velvet Splendour is a luscious, oriental, vintage-y, floral. It is smooth and chic. The opening (or “sunrise” of the scent as Dimitri likes to say) is definitively floral with lush jasmine, smooth wattle and heady orange blossom brightened up with mandarin. At this stage you could be tempted into thinking this is a very feminine floral fragrance, but rather quickly the perfume brings you somewhere else.
