The house

More from Goldfield & Banks

Goldfield & Banks began in Sydney in 2016, when Dimitri Weber set out to put Australia's landscapes and native plants into perfume. The range is built on woods: sandalwood, vetiver and cedar, warmed by amber and vanilla and lifted by mandarin, bergamot or ginger. Bohemian Lime is the first to try, followed by Silky Woods and Sunset Hour. For something richer, Sunset Hour Dark Peach is sweet amber and vanilla, and Tales of Amber turns up the spice. Ingenious Ginger is brighter, citrus and flowers over a soft vanilla base. Most of the range is made to be shared, so wear whichever calls to you.
