Goldfield & Banks Australia Tales of Amber is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Suzy Le Helley. Tales of Amber opens with Orange Blossom and Oakmoss, settles into a heart of Musk, Iris, Cinnamon, and Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Oud, Vanillin, and Ambergris. Goldfield & Banks Australia's Tales of Amber carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

Prepare for a proper debate with this one. Goldfield & Banks promised a tale of amber, but delivered a surprisingly divisive, iris-heavy narrative that's left many scratching their heads and a few absolutely captivated. It's either a masterful, nuanced take on amber or a total let-down, depending on who you ask.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanillin

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Tales of Amber opens with a blend of buttery orris and hints of orange blossom, delivering a waxy, cosmetic touch. This develops into a musky, earthy heart, spiced gently with cinnamon and grounded by labdanum. The base settles into a rich, powdery amber, with whispers of vanilla, and a contentious oud note that some find prominent and others completely absent, all underpinned by a fascinating salty ambergris.
