Island Lush
Island Lush by Goldfield & Banks is an unisex eau de parfum from 2023 in the niche price tier. It opens with nutmeg, cardamom and ginger, moves into geranium and dries down to haitian vetiver, guaiac wood, sandalwood and oud. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
Heart
- Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
Dry-down
- Haitian Vetiver Cleaner, smokier vetiver with a grapefruit lift. Less earthy than Javan.
- Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
