Mystic Bliss reflects upon the Aurora Australis, adorning the starry night sky over Tasmania.
An invigorating perfume of aromatic notes, heady woods and ripe fig, Goldfield & Banks presents an olfactory interpretation of southern Australia’s rugged charm, its ethereal beauty and its enduring mystery with Mystic Bliss. Powdery and soft, Mystic Bliss is a unisex fragrance.
The native focal point of this fragrance is Kunzea from Tasmania. A shrub also known as the “white cloud”, Kunzea blossoms have a unique aromatic woody fragrance profile that’s clean and grounding at the same time.

HOW IT WEARS
Bracing and beautiful from the outset, the Kunzea Accord – woodsy, aromatic and restorative – melds seamlessly with the resinous, peppery warmth of oliban. Fig and mint add a layer of freshness, a cool touch, with the fig growing ever more ripe in the presence of cardamon and cassis. Evolving, the heart notes unfurl – first, clary sage, herbaceous and green, before caramel lends a touch of indulgence – a rich contrast to geranium’s green rosiness. The Kunzea, now more plush against this cool aromatic heart, in flashes of purple, carries through the drydown. Cedar and sandalwood, their rich, woody scents evoking the ancient forests of Flinders Island, are burnished with labdanum’s amber-like warmth as vetiver lends an earthen foundation grounding Mystic Bliss with a deep, resonant finish. This fragrance lasts incredibly well on the skin, and will give you 6-8 hours of heavenly wear.
LORE LOVES
We note that in Mystic Bliss, Dimitri hasn’t confined the notes to a fragrance pyramid. When Dimitri visited us at Lore, he explained that he prefers to think about the way fragrance wears the same way you would think about the passage of a day – the opening is a sunrise, the middle is daytime, and the dry-down is the sunset. Unburdened by these constrictions, Mystic Bliss can be experienced freely. Like starry space plasma, Mystic Bliss seems to float on the skin… each note makes itself known at some point during its wear, making you want to keep smelling it again and again. This is a fragrance that transcends seasons, transcends gender, transcends perfume norms, and allows you to just… bliss out.
ABOUT THE BRAND
Goldfield & Banks, Australia’s first luxury fragrance house, was founded by Sydney-based Dimitri Weber in 2016. After moving to Australia, French-Belgian Weber fell in love with the country’s lush, aromatic, and botanical beauty, and felt compelled to create a perfume line paying tribute to its extraordinary beauty. Combining the science of Australia’s most authentic native essences with centuries of French expertise in the art of perfume making, Goldfield & Banks’ perfumes are a quest for the ultimate Australian olfactory experience.
The Goldfield & Banks range contains an array of carefully chosen native botanicals, selected to create a new and haunting Australian dream – one of burning deserts, sparkling coastal vistas and deep, beautifully scented forests. The sustainable quality of these ingredients represents an innovative and contemporary approach to perfume oil production and showcases Australia’s leading expertise in botanical research and development. The result is a modern yet timeless collection of genderless luxury perfumes for all genders.
