My collection

Goldfield & Banks launched Southern Bloom in 2018: in December, CaFleurBon presented it as the latest addition to the Native Collection. The house credits it to François Merle-Baudoin, under the creative direction of Dimitri Weber.

Bruny Island

According to the house, Southern Bloom honours the fleeting September bloom of the rare boronia on Bruny Island, off the southern coast of Tasmania. It regards boronia absolute as one of the most precious and expensive raw materials in perfumery.

Sizes

Concentrated at 20%, it is sold at 186 euros for 100 ml and 35 euros for 10 ml on the house’s European site.

What critics say

Marianne Butler, of CaFleurBon, praises in 2018 a creamy, luxurious, almost decadent floral. Kevin, at Now Smell This, sees in it in 2019 a great beach perfume, far from clichés.
