AUSTRALIA. Leading luxury niche fragrance brand Goldfield & Banks will showcase its ambitious plans for 2024 and beyond at the Australian Airports Association (AAA) Retail & Commercial Forum 2024. The event is set to be held from 22-24 July at the Pullman on the Park in Melbourne.

Goldfield & Banks will present its strategic vision to key partners at the event. Priorities include further establishing itself as Australia’s top luxury niche brand, expanding its product range and enhancing its global presence, particularly in travel retail.

The company will also highlight its Silky Woods Elixir fragrance and the Coast-to-Coast Collection.

Silky Woods Elixir is crafted from Australian agarwood, sourced from the tropical north. It was created to capture the woody essence of agarwood, combined with smoky and herbal notes.

The creation of this fragrance involves a significant quantity of agarwood oil, reflecting the brand’s dedication to using high-quality, rare ingredients.

The Coast-to-Coast Collection draws inspiration from the sun’s journey across Australia’s landscapes, from Byron Bay in the east to Broome in the west. The range features three fragrances, each representing an exotic destination and incorporating rare Australian ingredients. Coast-to-Coast aims to showcase the diversity of Australia’s flora.
