Goldfield & Banks Blue Cypress Eau de Parfum

What it smells like

Blue Cypress captures the soul of Australia’s ancient Kakadu region, where morning light burns mist from eucalyptus and cypress forests. It opens crisp and spicy, with star anise and clove giving an aromatic, slightly liquorice-like bite.

The heart is cool and green, with lavender and native blue cypress creating a grounding, resinous woodiness. Earthy patchouli deepens the base, so the whole fragrance feels like standing in a dewy forest at dawn — fresh, herbal and quietly meditative. It is a woody-aromatic built around one of Australia’s most distinctive native woods.

Who made it

Goldfield & Banks fragrances are composed by Hamid Merati-Kashani, the house’s principal perfumer, working under the creative direction of founder Dimitri Weber. A classically trained nose who has spent his career with the world’s leading fragrance suppliers, Merati-Kashani has become the interpreter of a singular brief: to translate native Australian botanicals — sandalwood, boronia, finger lime, blue cypress, red-back ginger — into wearable luxury, often building world-first accords around materials no one had used in fine perfumery before. His signature balances bold, natural raw materials with polished, refined structures that wear beautifully.

Who it’s for

For lovers of green, woody-aromatic fragrances with a fresh, natural character. Fully unisex and understated, it suits those who prefer calm, forest-like scents.

When to wear it

A versatile day scent that leans into spring and autumn, wearable in most weather and ideal for the office or outdoors when you want something grounding and fresh.

About the house

Goldfield & Banks is an Australian niche perfume house founded in 2016 by Dimitri Weber, the first to build a luxury fragrance line around native Australian botanicals. Each scent is a journey to a specific place on the continent, from the tropical rainforests of Queensland to the lavender fields of Tasmania and the glowing sunsets of Broome. The range spans the accessible Native Collection and the richer, more concentrated Botanical Series, all crafted with a high proportion of natural essences and presented in weighty, gold-accented bottles. It is offered here at Redolia Perfumery as a full 100 ml bottle.
