The Goldfield & Banks House
Goldfield & Banks is a perfume house founded in Australia, born in Sydney in 2016 out of love at first sight. Dimitri Weber, a Franco-Belgian perfumer, visited Australia for the first time around 2014 and was looking for an Australian perfume brand. He couldn’t find one. Fascinated by the botanical richness of a continent that modern perfumery had scarcely explored, he decided to stay and create something that didn’t yet exist. The house’s name pays homage to Joseph Banks, the British botanist who accompanied James Cook on his round-the-world voyage in the 18th century and was the first to reveal Australia’s extraordinary plant diversity to the European world. It is this same spirit of exploration that Dimitri Weber infuses into his fragrances: boronia, Australian red ginger, Tasmanian sandalwood, southern coastal moss, and Tasmanian lavender derived from Provençal plants transplanted a century ago. These rare ingredients, rarely or never used in perfumery, are harvested locally and then shipped to France to be formulated with organic beet alcohol and bottled according to European methods. Each fragrance is a precise postcard: a sunset over the Indian Ocean for Sunset Hour, the sensation of walking along a wave-battered coastline for Pacific Rock Flower, the warmth of a rose in the middle of the desert for Rose Magnitude. Highly concentrated extracts, designed to last and leave a distinct impression. Australia in a bottle, crafted with French expertise.
