# Goldfield & Banks: Australian Niche Fragrances with Native Botanicals
## The Story of Goldfield & Banks: Where Australian Botanicals Meet French Perfumery
Goldfield & Banks emerged in 2016 from the vision of Dimitri Weber, a Belgian-French perfume expert with over 20 years of experience in the European fragrance industry. After a business trip to Australia for a fragrance launch, Weber fell in love with the country's extraordinary botanical diversity and recognized the untapped potential of native Australian ingredients in modern perfumery.
The brand name honors Joseph Banks, the first Australian naturalist who revealed the continent's botanical richness to Europe. "Goldfield" refers to Australia's gold-mining fields, as gold can act as a soil nutrient for plants like sandalwood. This naming reflects the brand's core philosophy: connecting Australia's natural treasures with the art of perfumery.
Weber established Goldfield & Banks as Australia's first luxury niche perfume house. His mission was to showcase rare Australian essences that had never been used in modern perfumery before. By combining traditional French perfumery techniques with unique Australian raw materials, he created an entirely new fragrance language.
The brand quickly gained international recognition and was introduced to prestigious department stores like Barneys, Bloomingdale's, and Selfridges. Today, Goldfield & Banks is available in over 55 countries and approximately 400 stores worldwide. You can now experience these extraordinary fragrances as samples before committing to a full-size purchase.
