Goldfield & Banks Tales of Amber

Goldfield & Banks, the Australian luxury fragrance house known for its evocative use of native botanicals, has expanded its portfolio with Tales of Amber, a 2025 unisex extrait de parfum. Under the creative direction of founder Dimitri Weber and composed by perfumer Suzy Le Helley, this release marks a deliberate foray into the classic amber genre, reinterpreted through an Australian lens. The fragrance promises a powdery, woody, and resinous experience, built around rare ingredients like Australian agarwood and New Zealand ambergris. Tales of Amber arrives at a time when amber-centric compositions are enjoying a renaissance in niche perfumery. Rather than relying on a simple vanilla-amber accord, Goldfield & Banks layers moss, orange blossom, orris, and cinnamon over a complex base of labdanum, oud, and ambre 83. The result is a scent that feels both familiar and distinctly modern, balancing sweetness with earthy depth. Priced at £250 for 100ml of extrait, Tales of Amber sits firmly in the premium niche segment. It is positioned as a statement fragrance for cooler weather and evening wear, appealing to those who appreciate high-concentration formulations and sophisticated, unisex profiles. In this review, we break down the notes, performance, and overall value to help you decide if this Australian amber deserves a place in your collection.
