Goldfield & Banks Sunset Hour
Desert peach, jasmine and salted caramel
Sunset Hour takes its cue from the glowing skies over Broome. The brand builds this fruity gourmand on the Australian desert peach, a tart native fruit, and adds pear, mandarin, raspberry, jasmine sambac, green mango, coconut, salted caramel and Australian sandalwood. The result is sweet and fruity, with a sharp edge running through it.

How it unfolds
-
Fruit with an edge
In the brand's description, pear, mandarin and desert peach lead, with raspberry adding sparkle. The peach is the unusual part: tart rather than juicy, with the salty edge the brand mentions. That edge keeps the fruit from reading as candy and gives the opening a dry, bright snap.
-
Flowers, cream and a little heat
The heart is jasmine sambac with green mango, ginger and coconut, and a whisper of pink pepper. Jasmine brings a rich white-floral warmth, mango a green, tangy sweetness and coconut a creamy softness. Ginger and pink pepper add a small, bright heat so the heart does not turn syrupy.
-
Sweet and salty finish
Salted caramel and vanilla give the finish its gourmand sweetness, while benzoin adds a balsamic, vanilla-like warmth and Australian sandalwood a creamy wood. The salt in the caramel echoes the salty edge of the peach, so the scent ends where it began: sweet, but not plain.
Wearing it
When, who and why
Warm evenings
A sweet, fruity gourmand like this is at home on summer evenings and in early autumn, and suits dinners or gatherings where you want some warmth in the air around you. Apply it lightly to wrists and neck; the caramel and vanilla base builds, so two sprays are usually enough.
Who will enjoy it
Gender-free in the brand's terms. It suits people who like fruit and sweetness with a twist, not just sugar, and who enjoy gourmand perfumes that stay bright. If you prefer dry woods or clean aromatic scents, it will feel too sweet.
Why choose Goldfield & Banks Sunset Hour
The desert peach gives it a character of its own: a tart native fruit with a salty edge, set against jasmine sambac and salted caramel. The scent was created by Honorine Blanc at 20% essences and botanicals, and the brand's French glass bottle has a wooden cap.

Questions
Frequently asked
What is desert peach?
An Australian native fruit and the brand's central note. The brand likens its taste to rhubarb with a salty edge and builds the whole fruity gourmand around it.
Is it too sweet?
It is sweet at the end, with salted caramel and vanilla, but the tart peach, ginger and pink pepper add contrast, so it reads as bright rather than syrupy.
Which season suits it?
Summer evenings and early autumn suit it best. The fruit and coconut feel right in warm air, and the caramel and vanilla base gives enough warmth for cooler nights.
Is there coconut in it?
Yes, in the heart, alongside jasmine sambac, green mango, ginger and a whisper of pink pepper. It adds creaminess, while ginger and pink pepper keep it from feeling heavy.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
