TALES OF AMBER

Tales of Amber is an Extrait de Parfum by Goldfield & Banks, the Australian luxury perfume house founded by Dimitri Weber. Created by the founder together with French perfumer Suzy Le Helley and concentrated at 30%, it is a modern, exotic and abyssal ambery woody fragrance: a bold interpretation of an ancient material that reconnects perfumery with the purest, most elemental origins of scent.

The Fragrance

Tales of Amber reimagines the elemental beauty of nature, drawing inspiration from the mystery of the ocean and Australia's wild botanicals. At its centre is rare New Zealand ambergris, combined with De Laire's iconic Amber 83 accord, a rich fusion of labdanum and vanillin. The brand describes it as a warm, powdery, sensual amber that evokes sun-scorched earth, sunlit resins and mineral-warmed skin, made unforgettable by an overdose of golden, resinous labdanum. Like all of the house's creations, it combines Australian raw materials with French savoir-faire.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is bright and vibrant: orange blossom intertwines with a fresh, earthy moss accord. In the heart the floral softness of powdery, elegant orris is revealed, accompanied by spicy cinnamon and Australian agarwood, which adds a resinous soul. As the hours pass, the fragrance becomes deep and sensual: salty, mineral New Zealand ambergris melts with the labdanum and vanillin of the Amber 83 accord and with oud, in a warm, creamy, enveloping base.

FAQ

What is ambergris?
It is one of the rarest and most precious raw materials in perfumery, of marine origin: it is carried by ocean currents for years before washing up on beaches. It brings a salty, mineral, sensual nuance. In Tales of Amber, according to Goldfield & Banks, it comes from New Zealand.

What is the Amber 83 accord?
It is a famous amber accord from the historic French house De Laire, built on labdanum and vanillin. In Tales of Amber it brings a balsamic warmth and a creamy, almost gourmand sweetness that counterpoints the oceanic character of ambergris.

Does Tales of Amber smell like Dior Homme Intense?
Some fragrance lovers compare it to Dior Homme Intense because of its soft, powdery orris. Tales of Amber, however, is built around amber: the orris blends with ambergris, labdanum and oud, for a warmer, more resinous and enveloping result.

How long does Tales of Amber last?
Thanks to its 30% concentration, typical of an Extrait de Parfum, it has exceptional longevity: fragrance lovers often report more than twelve hours on the skin. The trail is elegant and close to the skin, ideal for anyone who loves a fragrance that discreetly accompanies them all day.
