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, Orris, Cinnamon, and Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Oud, Vanillin, and Ambergris. Goldfield & Banks Australia's Tales of Amber carries an Acquired verdict, a iris-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.

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.
