Sunset Hour Dark Peach

It opens juicy and luminous, with mandarin and pink berries upfront and rum giving the first warm hit. Ginger and benzoin add a spicy depth that takes it beyond the merely fruity, and ylang rounds it out. As it settles, vanilla takes over, in what the house calls an overdose, with woody ambers and tonka bean finishing in something velvety. The Australian desert peach is still there, but macerated.

Sunset Hour Dark Peach is an amber fruity perfume by Goldfield & Banks, created by perfumer Clément Marx under the creative direction of Dimitri Weber. The brand presents it as a darker take on its Sunset Hour, with the same ingredients soaked in rum, and places it in the sunsets of Broome, in Western Australia. It is an eau de parfum at 25%.

It needs very little: with that dose of vanilla, two sprays are enough. It works better in the evening and in cold weather. We also have the original Sunset Hour, which is the lighter and more fruity version, and comparing them is the fastest way to know which one you want. Ingenious Ginger shares the Madagascar ginger and takes it to the citrus side, and Silky Woods Elixir pushes the amber.
