Goldfield & Banks

Quick answers

History of the house

Goldfield & Banks was founded in 2016 by Dimitri Weber, a French-Belgian fragrance expert based in Australia. After a long career in European luxury perfumery, he came to the continent for a launch and chose to stay and found what he presents as the first Australian luxury perfume house.

The project rests on a clear idea: to reveal Australian raw materials through an exacting niche perfumery. Native sandalwood, Buddha wood, blue cypress, boronia, golden wattle, finger lime and quandong become the house vocabulary, composed with craftsmanship inherited from French perfumery.

The first compositions, launched in 2016, set the foundations: Pacific Rock Moss, Blue Cypress, Desert Rosewood and White Sandalwood draw an olfactory map of the continent, from coastline to deserts. The range then grew steadily, with Velvet Splendour (2019), Bohemian Lime (2020), Silky Woods and Sunset Hour (2021).

Dimitri Weber directs the creative vision of every perfume, entrusting the execution of the compositions to external perfumers. The house remains independent, claims a gender-free range, traceability and sustainability commitments, and sells both directly and through an international network of niche perfumeries.

Its catalog now falls into two material-led groupings, The Native Collection (the original native essences) and The Botanical Series (botanicals from around the world grown in Australian soil, at a higher concentration). These read as catalog groupings rather than self-contained narrative collections.

The founder and the house today

Dimitri Weber gained his first industry experience with Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent. He settled permanently in Australia in 2014. The house presents him as founder and creative director, with a background in international fragrance development.

Since 2016, the house says, it has built long-standing relationships with Australian growers and distillers, buying only essential oils traceable from field to blend. Its central native oils are Australian sandalwood, Buddha wood, brown boronia, blue cypress and golden wattle. Lavender and agarwood grown in the Australian climate complete them.

As of 4 November 2026, The Native Collection gathers fourteen references: Pacific Rock Swell, Sunset Hour Dark Peach, Ingenious Ginger, Pacific Rock Flower, Sunset Hour, Pacific Rock Moss and Bohemian Lime. They are joined by Southern Bloom, Wood Infusion, Desert Rosewood, Mystic Bliss, White Sandalwood, Blue Cypress and Velvet Splendour. The Botanical Series gathers Rose Magnitude, Tales of Amber, Silky Woods, Silky Woods Elixir, Purple Suede and Island Lush. In 2026 the house marks its tenth anniversary with a collector edition of Pacific Rock Moss, presented as “the fragrance that started it all”, first launched in 2016.

The Parfumo database dates Wood Infusion to 2017, Purple Suede and Island Lush to 2022, Ingenious Ginger and Silky Woods Elixir to 2023. It dates Mystic Bliss to 2024, Pacific Rock Flower and Tales of Amber to 2025, and Rose Magnitude, Pacific Rock Swell and Sunset Hour Dark Peach to 2026. It also credits Amélie Jacquin, Clément Marx, Emilie Bouge, Florian Gallo, Ilias Ermenidis, Leonardo Lucheze, Olivier Cresp and Suzy Le Helley.

Australian materials, the house signature

Goldfield & Banks’ singularity lies in its vocabulary of Australian materials. Where most houses draw on a shared global palette, Dimitri Weber builds his identity on materials specific to the continent: native sandalwood (Santalum spicatum), Buddha wood, blue cypress, Tasmanian boronia, golden wattle, finger lime and desert quandong.

These materials are foregrounded right down to the perfume names, which work as a map: Pacific Rock Moss evokes the coast, Desert Rosewood the arid lands, Blue Cypress and White Sandalwood the woods. The house claims a traceability and sustainability approach around these resources.

For the visitor, Goldfield & Banks reads as an olfactory journey across Australia, where French perfumery craftsmanship showcases raw materials rarely used elsewhere.
