Ingenious Ginger

by Hamid Merati-Kashani

Ingenious Ginger by Goldfield & Banks is a sparkling, sunlit floral amber perfume built around an Australian ginger flower accord. The house found its inspiration on the Atherton Tablelands, in tropical north Australia, where the Red Back ginger grows: a spectacular flower with almost no scent. Ingenious Ginger imagines one for it: a bright, energising eau de parfum, like a warm morning surrounded by lush greenery.

WHO IT’S FOR, WHEN TO WEAR IT

A unisex perfume, fresh at first then warm, loved by women and men alike. Wear it every day, at the office or on a relaxed day out; it truly shines in sunny weather, or whenever you want a little sunshine in winter. Top notes: Brazilian mandarin, Australian ginger flower accord. Heart: Chinese magnolia, neroli. Base: amber, Australian sandalwood. Created by Hamid Merati-Kashani, under the artistic direction of Dimitri Weber.

HOW TO WEAR IT

Two or three sprays are enough: neck, wrists, and one on your clothes, where the amber base lasts even longer. It lasts better on moisturised skin; in hot weather, two sprays are plenty.

The fragrance

Ingenious Ginger opens on a fresh, sparkling burst of citrus mixed with ginger, bringing an energising, almost effervescent feel. At the heart, white flowers soften the composition and give it a more elegant, velvety side. With time, the fragrance grows warmer and more cocooning thanks to vanilla, amber and woods, which add depth while keeping it bright. The result is a fragrance at once fresh, sunny and lightly gourmand, like a trip into lush tropical nature.

The brand

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 went looking for an Australian perfume brand. He could not find a single one. Fascinated by the botanical wealth of a continent that modern perfumery had almost never explored, he decided to stay and create what did not yet exist. The name of the house pays tribute to Joseph Banks, the British botanist who sailed with James Cook on his voyage around the world in the 18th century and was the first to reveal the extraordinary plant diversity of Australia to Europe. Dimitri Weber brings that same explorer’s curiosity to his fragrances: boronia, Australian red ginger, Tasmanian sandalwood, southern coastal moss, Tasmanian lavender grown from Provençal plants transplanted a century ago. Rare ingredients, seldom or never used in perfumery, harvested locally then sent to France to be formulated with organic beet alcohol and bottled using European methods. Each fragrance is a precise postcard: a sunset over the Indian Ocean for Sunset Hour, the feeling of walking along a wave-battered coast for Pacific Rock Flower, the warmth of a rose in the middle of the desert for Rose Magnitude. High-concentration extraits, designed to last and leave a clear mark. Australia in a bottle, composed with French expertise.
