Goldfield & Banks Sunset Hour Eau de Parfum

What it smells like

Sunset Hour is a fruity-gourmand perfume inspired by the glowing skies of Broome, built around juicy Australian desert peach. It opens succulent and bright, with pear and tart raspberry making the fruit sparkle.

A touch of jasmine Sambac adds a floral glow at the heart before the base turns irresistibly delicious: salty caramel, warm vanilla, balsamic benzoin and creamy Australian sandalwood. The result is a juicy peach gourmand with a moreish salty-sweet drydown — a genuine crowd-pleaser that feels like a sunset in a bottle.

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 fruity gourmands and sweet, cosy scents who still want something crafted and wearable. Largely unisex and universally appealing.

When to wear it

Wonderful year-round but especially cosy in autumn and winter and from day into evening; its warm, sweet drydown makes it a comforting cool-weather favourite.

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.
