Sunset Hour
Sunset Hour by Goldfield & Banks is an unisex eau de parfum from 2021 in the niche price tier. It opens with pear, mandarin, peach, raspberry and pink pepper, moves into sambac jasmine, mango, ginger and coconut and dries down to sandalwood, salted caramel, vanilla and benzoin. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Pear Crisp, watery and green-sweet. Clean and modern.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Peach Fuzzy, warm and slightly creamy. Soft rather than sharp.
- Raspberry Tart, jammy and slightly fuzzy. Very popular in modern sweet scents.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Heart
- Sambac Jasmine Greener, more tea-like jasmine. Less indolic than grandiflorum.
- Mango Thick, sweet and tropical. Creamy rather than sharp.
- Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
- Coconut Creamy and tropical. Suncream in the best possible way.
Dry-down
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Salted Caramel Caramel with a mineral edge. Less cloying than it sounds.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
