Mystic Bliss

You are on a mountaintop with a full sky of infinite glimmering stars to gaze into, your lover stands next to you, wrapped around your arm in equal admiration. Off in the distance the wind blows through a forest while the slight hint of smoke from your fire reaches your senses. Jagged cold rocks reach out tendrils of cool air, tugging at your fur jacket. Yet the entwined warmth of you two persists. This may be the most confusing smell to have ever touched my nose but my god is it beautiful. So confusing it’s hard to describe, the initial soft fruity fig notes have been caught in a romantic relationship with the freezing mint that give it this “cuddling by a fireplace in an igloo” vibe. This scent is extremely cold to me, however I feel if I smelled it again in the winter it would be warm. Extraordinarily polarizing notes that blend into an absolutely captivating experience, soft and heavy, warm and cold, fresh and woody. As a man I would wear this with a full suit and tie, yet I could see this being a hoodie/sweat-pant scent on a woman. While being a cooler scent this is incredibly sexy, very alluring, attention captivating. If a woman was wearing this I’m pretty sure I would be forced to ask for her number. Truly intoxicating 10/10.

I received a sample of this with an order from Goldfield and Banks and it really surprised me how much I enjoyed it! Sometimes the best perfume experiences happen when we have no expectations and no prior information to cloud our judgement. This was the case for me with Mystic Bliss! I'd heard of it but had zero idea what notes it contained and it was not one on my list to try. This is a super fruity and creamy fragrance with lovely sillage and good tenacity. I keep thinking fig perfumes are a bore but creations like this remind me how compelling and wonderful they can be. Mystic Bliss is juicy and fruity, but the incense, orris and woody notes give it a refined elegance that elevates it from the typical 'fruity' territory. This is a stunning creation and one I will now have to consider inviting into my collection!

This was an impulse purchase at the store, I smelled the bottle and I immediately liked it, didn’t sprayed it though. I only bought the travel size and I’m really happy with it (personally I’m not buying full bottles anymore bcs I don’t have enough space and too many bottles already so). At the store I didn’t know the notes but I could smell iris and some woods. Ones I sprayed at home I knew it has fig and I love fig! So I’m wearing it for Christmas or something like that bcs it’s strong and my colleagues already complained on my “too strong scent” so... I love it. It can lean a bit too masculine for some people but I don’t care about that, I think you can feminize it by layering whit some other iris or something.

This was a perfume I got a tester of and have now upgraded to a full bottle. This is such a wearable fragrence and just makes me happy everytime I smell it. This fragrence doesnt get enough love from the Goldfield and Banks range, its such a banger and think it suits any seasons, day or night wear and would work in both a casual or formal setting. The best way I could describe this is that it smells so much like BDK Gris Charnel, except this has a menthol mint note that sets it apart to become a totally different perfume. The mint does not give it a toothpaste or mouthwash vibe, its so beautifully blended with the other notes, it more so gives the fragrance a cooling affect.

Overall, I love this fragrance. I don't think the opening is as special as some of the other Goldfield and Banks fragrances, and I think that is where many others are calling it basic or designer. However, the magic happens about half an hour in where those beautiful aromatics and earthy notes reveal their master formulation. There is a duality as it feels grounding yet uplifting. It does not feel loud but its presence takes up space. It feels like a tranquil spa, but also like a reverent temple. I think the aromatic resins, earthy fruit and fresh herbs blend so beautifully in this fragrance.

Opens with an enveloping, chalky, earthy powder, thanks to some beautiful orris and timber. The fig and cassis accords are complex and herbal, and work wonderfully in tandem with a brightening kick of mint to give an overall ethereal and misty/foggy vibe. My snout may be mistaken; but I think I detect some elemi or olibanum, which is playing on the edge of a lovely tart-ness. I really enjoy this. It reminds me a little bit of bather in the lake by Tamburins, which is a personal fav. VERDICT: Both dry and lush, exotic and palatable. Quite possibly full-bottle-worthy.

Woody and green with sweetness of fig and lovely warm incense. For me this is wood+green more than anything else, but I am still not sure where to place it. Someone mentioned 'elusive', this is a good word to describe it. I can't say it is the most mind blowing perfume I ever laid my nose on, but I did end up wearing it and loving it almost everyday, while some of the more 'wow' ones i barely touch. Beautiful. As it tends to be with Goldfield & Banks, this is magnificently designed, sophisticated and super long lasting.

I was in search of something less sweet and fruity after going crazy for super saccharine scents over the summer and happened upon this beautiful perfume. It's rich and opulent without being totally overwhelming, there's something very reminiscent to lavender for me, maybe the immortelle note, I'm not sure. I find the woodiness is very authentic, it really does make me think of the forests here in Norway. I feel very cosy wearing this.

Fresh sweet watery (dewy, almost waterlily) smell with a touch of minty-ness but then comes thru the creamy woodiness (combination of the fig & cedar). Super lovely for spring & summer! Lasts & projects beautiful, the scent bubble is so gorgeous! Unisex and does lean a touch to the masculine side (due to the cologne-y hint) probably because of the mint note. Some of the 'reminds me of' section are ridiculous.

Oh it's delicious. Herbal fig that descends (or arises) into a grey-lilac-ish mist, tickling your nose here and there for hours - a cool, slightly minty but somehow creamy vibe. I tried it in store last night at 6.30 pm, and today at 3 pm, after a shower, it's somehow still perceptible. It smells very synthetic and otherworldy, which i'm very into atm. If you have a bottle to sell or swap dmmmmm meeeee

Really worth exploring this one - it has many different facets and having worn it a few times over a couple of weeks now I find something new and different to enjoy about it each time. I agree this is a perfectly unisex fragrance and has great longevity. The bottle is a fitting representation of the Aurora Australis and the colour of the twilight skies we often enjoy here in Tasmania 💜

To be honest, I don't get why it has such a low rating. It is an amazing, everyday wearable fragrance. On guy, its a nice woody minty fig fragrance to wear all day and all year long. It's just a simple scent but a little bit overpriced. I will wear it all day long as a signature. +1 The customer service of Goldfield and banks is 1000/10. I cannot say any better.

I received a 2ml tester in The Perfume Guy's scent club mystery box (Black Friday), and this is the one I chose to wear the very next day at work. This is just so lovely! I feel like this scent just matured my fragrance comprehension in the best way. It's a gorgeous, softly-powdery (not too powdery), and fresh- but not too fresh. Man, this is good. Love

The low rating is extremely inaccurate. This is a fantastic cologne, that definitely leans masculine and is everything that the name suggests. It's unique but also mass appealing, lasts a decent amount of time and is office safe, but with some liberal use, it projects well. Don't hesitate to give this one a try.

I dabbed a little of this from my sample on the back of my hand this morning while I was having coffee. Then took a shower to go out for the morning. I had thin wool gloves on and I kept smelling something amazing. It persisted through the shower and I was detecting it through my gloves. Mind blown!

Love this smell, which is great because it. Lasts. So. Long. I have had a few shirts that just continued smelling of this fragrance even after a wash or two. It transfers easily to jackets and sweatshirts. Luckily it's nice but I find it can get overwhelming.

Well blended, uplifting, cosy, office friendly and unique. I like how the fig and mint are well combined. Yet the mint is more into basil. I noticed a moderate sweetness like vanilla I don’t know if it’s because of orris or not. 9/10 highly recommend.

Love this perfume!Smells very nice,smooth and intoxicating.Perfect for the spring,summer and fall seasons.The performance is very good!

Wow! I really like this one! It's like a fresh, herby version of Azzaro's The Most Wanted. It is a 8.2/10 for me.

Fresh sweet watery smell with some creaminess for summer. Super gorge! 9/10 No soapiness.
