In a world where nature encounters refinement and wilderness becomes a muse for works of art, a singular story is born: Goldfield & Banks. Founded by the visionary Dimitri Weber, a French perfumer with a deep passion for rare essences and an explorer’s spirit, the brand is a contemporary homage to Australia, that fascinating continent that blends exoticism with diversity.
Inspired by the iconic figure of British naturalist Joseph Banks, who mapped the botanical riches of Australia in the 18th century, Dimitri Weber chose to translate this wealth into an unparalleled olfactory form. And so Goldfield & Banks was born, a symbiosis of French perfumery mastery and Australia’s native essences, harvested from the most remote and spectacular corners of the continent.
In each bottle, we find not just a fragrance, but a heartfelt story of wild landscapes, rainforests, sun-drenched deserts, and coasts bathed in golden sunsets. All brought together with an impressive dedication to sustainability and authenticity, each scent carefully selected to reflect Australia’s free spirit and cultural diversity.
Sunset Hour - an ode to Australian sunsets
Has there ever been a more magical moment than a sunset? Sunset Hour is an invitation into that twilight space, when the Australian sky is painted in shades of gold and coral, and the air vibrates with the scent of exotic fruits and freshly blooming flowers.
Its opening bursts with a juicy blast of desert peach (Quandong), a fruit emblematic of Australian flora, blending perfectly with the bright sweetness of pear and bold notes of raspberry. The heart of the fragrance is a hypnotic dance of sambac jasmine, a regal flower that imparts intense sensuality.
As the fragrance settles on the skin, its rich base of Australian sandalwood, Lao benzoin, and a velvety touch of salted caramel add depth and remarkable persistence. Sunset Hour is undoubtedly an olfactory capsule of Australian sunsets, bringing with it the sweetness of life and a hint of golden melancholy.
Silky Woods - a sensual daydream in the heart of the rainforest
If Sunset Hour celebrates the vastness of the sky, Silky Woods transports us to a green sanctuary, a lush rainforest where every leaf and every shadow hides a story. Part of the exclusive Botanical Series collection, this fragrance is a tribute to Australian oud, a rare and precious ingredient recognized for its hypnotic power.
The fragrance opens with luxurious notes of Ceylon cinnamon and saffron, evoking the warmth of a gentle fire and the security of an embrace. The heart is a celebration of contrasts - tobacco leaves and exotic ylang-ylang flowers dance together, creating a captivating depth.
However, the real magic of the fragrance lies in its velvety base, where Australian oud, accompanied by Tahitian vanilla, exudes an exquisite sensuality, and sandalwood completes the composition with a final note of subtle, sophisticated warmth. Silky Woods is more than a fragrance - it’s a story about elegance, strength, and a deep connection with nature.
A universe of olfactory emotions
Goldfield & Banks not only captures the essence of Australia in every bottle, but does so with an elegance and refinement worthy of the highest standards of world perfumery. Every creation is an invitation to a sensory journey.
Each fragrance of this house is not just an accessory, but a companion of the soul. It is an invitation to explore, a celebration of diversity and authentic beauty. The collection, now available in Romania through select locations such as Beautik Perfumerie, gives you the chance to connect with Australia’s unique landscapes and stories.
Whether you choose the fruity sweetness of Sunset Hour or the velvety sensuality of Silky Woods, each spray is a journey - one you’ll want to repeat again and again.
