Goldfield & Banks White Sandalwood Eau de Parfum

What it smells like

White Sandalwood is a floral-woody perfume inspired by Kununurra in Western Australia, built around rare Australian white sandalwood. It opens spicy and glowing, with saffron, pepper and aromatic thyme lending an exotic, warm-blooded lift.

At its heart a velvety Turkish rose adds a sophisticated floral richness, sitting between the spice and the wood. The base is where the star material sings: creamy, milky Australian sandalwood wrapped in soft amber, musky and smooth, radiating warmth close to the skin. It is refined and sensual, a modern take on sandalwood that feels both exotic and effortlessly wearable.

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 creamy woods and warm, spicy florals who want elegance rather than heaviness. Fully unisex, it suits anyone drawn to refined sandalwood and rose.

When to wear it

Best in autumn and winter and from day into evening, when its spicy-woody warmth feels most enveloping, though its smooth sandalwood keeps it wearable year-round.

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.
