Goldfield & Banks is an Australian fragrance brand. The company was founded in 2016 by Dimitri Weber.[1]
History[edit]
Goldfield & Banks was founded by Dimitri Weber, a Belgian-Frenchman who had previously worked at perfume houses in Europe.[2][3] After previous visits to Australia, Weber moved to the country permanently in 2014 to work with a local cosmetics distributor, and founded Goldfield & Banks in 2016.[4][5]
The brand first launched with a collection of perfumes based around the Australian landscape, and incorporates native plant extracts[2] that represent Australian locations such as Fraser Island, Kakadu National Park, and Byron Bay.[4][6] Goldfield & Banks also uses species introduced to Australia in its collection, such as agarwood grown in the Queensland tropics.[7]
Products[edit]
Goldfield & Banks fragrances are manufactured both in Switzerland at Firmenich, and in Melbourne at Australian Botanical Products.[4] Its products are also sold in Europe, the United States, the Middle East, and East Asia.[8]
One of the brand's fragrances, Southern Bloom, won the silver award for best new niche fragrance at the 2019 Pure Beauty Awards.[9] Another Goldfield & Banks fragrance, Bohemian Lime, was a finalist in the 2021 Belgian Beauty Awards.[10]
