Velvet Splendour is like holding a large bunch of sunburnt wildflowers in both arms and pressing ones face gently into it. An impressionists painting of a long drive through the open, breezy and cloudless countryside.

The mimosa (wattle) tree bursting into bloom, marking the first sign of spring in Australia. Soft yellows are shaded against blue skies. The first inhale is an immediate mix of green stems, yellow blooms, cool air and warm light. Bold, sensual and glamorous.
