Velvet Splendour is like holding a large bunch of sunburnt wildflowers in both arms and pressing one’s face gently into it. An impressionist’s painting of a long drive through the open, breezy and cloudless countryside.
The mimosa tree bursting into bloom, marking the first sign of spring in Australia. Soft yellows are shaded against blue skies. The first inhale is an immediate mix of green stems, yellow blooms, cool air and warm light. Bold, sensual and glamorous.

Complex and rich bouquet
100% definitely floral amber. I found this one very complex, and complex to describe. As per all Goldfield scents, it is very strong and long lasting. This is another one I have sprayed on my sofa (a sample!) as it just about has enough amber for me to tolerate the floral. I would recommend trying a sample before buying, as it is quite complex and unique.
