It opens sparkling and retro-luxurious, with mandarin and soft aldehydes lending a powdery, champagne-like lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe heart is a golden bouquet: honeyed mimosa absolute, orange blossom and jasmine Sambac, both radiant and cosy. The base wraps it in Australian sandalwood, earthy patchouli and warm tonka bean, a smooth, slightly powdery drydown. It is an elegant, vintage-feeling floral with real depth and softness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho made it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGoldfield \u0026amp; Banks fragrances are composed by \u003cstrong\u003eHamid Merati-Kashani\u003c\/strong\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho it’s for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor lovers of powdery, aldehydic florals and classic elegance who want warmth and polish.

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.
