Founder Dimitri Weber is European, born in France and raised in Belgium. Dimitri has worked in the perfume industry for 15 years as a marketer and PR representative for the perfume divisions of major corporations. While visiting Australia on a business trip, he fell in love at first sight and decided to give up everything to live there. This led him to found his own perfume house in 2016.

Australia: A Barren Land for Perfume Brands
Australia is blessed with a great climate and fertile soil, and its native perfume ingredients are highly prized worldwide. Yet, it remains a barren land for perfume brands, with no perfume houses in existence. He realized that while there were high-quality ingredients, there was a lack of technology and know-how to utilize them.

During a trip to various perfume-producing regions in Australia, Dimitri found himself particularly drawn to Australian sandalwood. He decided to create a hybrid perfume house that would make the most of it while also utilizing traditional French perfume-making know-how.

Based on the legend that "sandalwood grows where gold is found," a unique worldwide perfume brand from Australia called "Goldfield & Banks" was born, named after the word "goldfield," which also means fertile land, and Joseph Banks, a crew member of the Endeavour that discovered the new continent of Australia and a renowned botanist.

Each fragrance liquid represents an image color and is vibrant in color. Enjoy a variety of hybrid fragrances that combine high-quality ingredients with European know-how.

The essence of Australia, the new continent of perfumery


Australia is a barren land for perfume brands, but on the other hand, it is also a new continent for perfumery.Goldfield & Banks is Australia's first and, it is no exaggeration to say, only luxury niche fragrance brand. Banks." Founder Dimitri Weber is a European born in France and raised in Belgium. He has been in the perfume industry for 15 years as a marketer and PR manager for the perfume divisions of major companies. While visiting Australia on a business trip, Dimitri fell in love at first sight and wanted to give up everything to live here, which led him to start his own perfume house.

Blessed with a wonderful climate and fertile land, Australia's naturally rich perfume ingredients are prized worldwide, yet it is a barren land for perfume brands, with no perfume houses. He realized that although the country had world-class ingredients, it lacked the technology and know-how to make the most of them. During a trip to various perfume-producing regions in Australia, Dimitri particularly took a liking to Australian sandalwood. He decided to make the most of it and create a hybrid perfume house that also utilized traditional French perfume production know-how.

Based on the legend that sandalwood grows in places where gold is found, a unique worldwide perfume brand from Australia was born: "Goldfield & Banks," named after the word "goldfield," which also means fertile land, and Joseph Banks, a renowned botanist and crew member of the Endeavour, which discovered the new continent of Australia.
