For this second olfactive edition in the Botanical Series, Dimitri Weber imaged the scent of aromatic fields of sunburnt lavender, where blossoms are crisped by the fierce heat of the sun. Paired with the scent of rust-coloured saddles, this perfume reveals a distinctively rich and dry silage.

The sustainably grown Australian lavender from Bookfield- Tasmania create a dry leathery-aromatic accord with coriander, rustic hyssop flowers, and smokey wood leather, before making way for deep notes of patchouli, civet, cashmere and animalic amber as the sun sets on this perfume.

A modern leathery perfume of precious woods, spices and Australian lavender that creates a full-bodied silage from sunrise to sunset.

Aromatic – Animalic – Elegant

Notes: lavender, leather, coriander, hyssop flowers, wood leather, patchouli, civet, cashmere, amber, oud

Perfumer: Ilias Ermenidis

Why you'll love it

Like a familiar sensation you don’t notice until someone names it, we hadn’t realized purple itself had a smell until we smelled it in “Purple Suede”. The new, charmingly rich entry in Goldfield & Banks' Botanical series continues to explore Australian ingredients on the smokier side of fragrance spectrum. This time: a vibrant, almost fruity current of Tasmanian lavender. Imagine a punchy-fresh, Western-style oud fragrance, well-tailored but still playful, with the dry, velvety elegance of lavender and the lush animalic fuzz of suede. Now imagine all that mingling with an untranslatable “purple” note — yes, we think you’ll know it when you smell it! These are the easy pleasures which await you in “Purple Suede”, a fragrance as easily dressed up as dressed down.
