12: The Olfactory Landscape of Australia: A Conversation with Dimitri Weber, Founder of Goldfield & Banks

Dimitri Weber has an extensive background in perfume, having worked for luxury brands such as YSL and Shiseido for decades in Antwerp, Belgium. After changing course and moving to Australia, he was surprised by the lack of perfume brands in his new country - a country spoiled by its high quality raw materials already used by European and American brands. Dimitri leaned into his experience and knowledge of European perfumery to honor the natural wealth and beauty of Australia, and Goldfield and Banks was born.The brand rose to fame almost overnight because of online attention, so Dimitri and Steve discuss the current role of social media in the perfume business and how it can help and harm. They look into the future and speculate what's next in this relationship between TikTok and scent.Perfumes discussed in this episode:Barynia by Helena RubinsteinNina by Nina RicciDiorissimo by DiorAnais Anais by CacharelParis by YSLJacomo di JacomoCacharel Pour Homme by CacharelFahrenheit by DiorPacific Rock Moss by Goldfield and BanksIngenious Ginger by Goldfied and BanksPurple Suede by Goldfield and BanksSunset Hour by Goldfield and BanksPacific Rock Flower by Goldfield and BanksTales of Amber by Goldfield and BanksHosted by: Steven GontarskiProduced by: Claire Jelinek, Emi Foster, Steven Gontarski Hosted on Acast.
