Goldfield & Banks Purple Suede Eau de Parfum

What it smells like

Purple Suede is a leather-floral perfume inspired by the lavender fields of Tasmania. It opens with a cool, aromatic Tasmanian lavender, herbal and calming.

The heart adds a soft rose, lending a powdery floral elegance. Then the base turns sensual and animalic: supple leather, earthy patchouli, a touch of civet and tropical Australian agarwood, giving the florals a smoky, skin-like depth. It is a refined leather with a floral soul — both soothing and quietly seductive.

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 soft leathers and aromatic florals who want sensuality with elegance. Fully unisex and distinctive.

When to wear it

Best in autumn, winter and cooler evenings, its leather-and-agarwood warmth ideal for cold weather and nights out.

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.
