At Parfumerie d'Aquitaine, there are brands born from an idea to transmit, some from a love of ingredients, and others born from a journey. Goldfield & Banks undoubtedly belongs to the latter.
Its origin dates back to when Dimitri Weber, a perfumery expert, arrived in Australia and found a vast territory that seemed to speak in aromas: sun-drenched turquoise coasts, luminous forests, reddish lands stretching to the horizon, and native flora as lush as it was underexplored by modern perfumery. What captivated him was not only the beauty of the landscape but also the rarity and purity of its ingredients.
From this discovery, Goldfield & Banks was born, today recognized as Australia's quintessential luxury perfume house. Its vision was clear from the beginning: to pay homage to this land through a collection that unites native Australian botanicals with the savoir-faire of French haute perfumery. The result is refined and deeply evocative fragrances, fragrances that transport you to a place, a sensation, an emotion.
Rooted in exploration, craftsmanship, and the poetry of nature, Goldfield & Banks distills Australia's botanical richness and cultural depth into a contemporary expression of authentic luxury: the true Essence of Australia.
The founder: Dimitri Weber
Founder and Creative Director of Goldfield & Banks, Dimitri Weber, Franco-Belgian, is the visionary behind Australia's first luxury perfume house. With a solid background in international fragrance development and a deep passion for olfactory storytelling, Weber succeeds in uniting the precision and elegance of French perfumery with the untamed strength of Australian botanicals.
Each of his creations stands out for meticulous craftsmanship and its ability to capture both a territory and an emotion. These are perfumes that celebrate adventure without losing sophistication, successfully translating the sensory spirit of the land into modern, enveloping, and memorable compositions.
The Native Collection
The Native Collection is a celebration of Australia's most authentic botanicals. Each fragrance is built around a unique native ingredient, revealing its character, its texture, and its deep connection to the landscape from which it comes.
It is an invitation to discover the olfactory identity of the continent through exceptional raw materials, crafted with respect, precision, and a contemporary perspective.
In The Native Collection, the following creations stand out: Sunset Hour (which evokes citrusy and spicy sunsets) and Pacific Rock Flower (a floral-green composition with marine notes and moss) that capture the diversity of the Australian landscape.
The Botanical Series
A true meeting of worlds. The Botanical Series brings together botanicals of global origin that have found ideal growing conditions in Australian soils.
In The Botanical Series, the following stand out: Silky Woods (a silky blend of woods and spices) and Purple Suede (with lavender and deep floral accords) represent the fusion of global botanicals grown on Australian soil with international perfumery savoir-faire.
Traceability and commitment
Since 2016, Goldfield & Banks has built long-term relationships with some of Australia's most respected growers and distillers. The house works exclusively with high-end essential oils, with full traceability from the field to extraction and final blending.
This level of provenance allows honoring each harvest and working with absolute transparency, with detailed knowledge of where, how, and when each ingredient was grown and distilled.
All Goldfield & Banks fragrances are cruelty-free, vegan, and comply with the standards of the International Fragrance Association (IFRA). Additionally, they are diluted in organic beetroot alcohol, a cleaner and more modern alternative that the brand pioneered in adopting.
Acknowledgement of Country
Goldfield & Banks acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands where they live and work. They pay respect to their ancestors and Elders, past, present, and emerging. The brand recognizes their continuing connection to the territory and celebrates the contributions of the First Nations people to this place that some now call home.
At Parfumerie d'Aquitaine, we celebrate the arrival of Goldfield & Banks as an invitation to travel through perfume: to discover a luminous, raw, and elegant Australia, translated into contemporary luxury fragrances that leave an imprint on the memory of those who discover them.
