In episode seventeen of the Glow Journal podcast, host Gemma Watts sits down with Dimitri Weber, master perfumer and founder of Goldfield & Banks.

Dimitri Weber’s first job was at YSL when Yves Saint Laurent himself was still working in house on scent development, and he’s since worked with Narciso Rodriguez, Issey Miyake and THE Tom Ford as a consultant and spokesperson.

Given his passion for scent, Dimitri has made a habit of adding locally produced fragrances to his arsenal whenever he travels which is why, upon relocating to Australia from France in 2015, he was struck by a lack of prestige Australian fragrance houses and perfumes rich in native, raw and botanical ingredients. 

The year that followed saw Dimitri launch Goldfield & Banks, a fragrance house inspired by the Australian landscape and borrowing its name from Joseph Banks, the country’s first botanist. Today, the Goldfield & Banks portfolio includes seven perfumes, each inspired by an Australian location and rich in the raw ingredients found there. 

In this conversation, Dimitri divulges the different between mass produced scents and an olfactory approach to parfumerie, what literally goes into a scent and what it takes for a perfume to truly garner “cult” status.
