Are you cruelty free?

All our fragrances are 100% cruelty free. 

 

Are you products tested on animals?

None of our products are tested on animals, anywhere in the world. 

 

Are your fragrances gender neutral?

We consider all our fragrances to be gender neutral, though if you find that some have more masculine or feminine qualities feel free to make purchases accordingly. Because plants do not have gender, we believe that fragrances should be gender free as well. 

 

Are your fragrances vegan?

With the exception of Silky Woods and Velvet Splendour, which contain beeswax, all our fragrances are 100% vegan. 

 

Are your fragrances safe on skin?

All of our fragrances are created by professional perfumers who follow the stringent rules set by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA). IFRA regulates the fragrance and cosmetic industries by investigating individual ingredients and ensuring that they are suited for use in these products (IFRA Standards – 49th Amendment, 2020). 

 

Are your fragrances long lasting?

All our fragrances have concentrations of at least 20% fragrance oil. They are tested in very hot and humid weather, and last well under these conditions. However, numerous factors are involved in fragrance longevity, including skin acidity and moisture, whether the fragrance is being worn on clothing, and how much has been applied. Because of this, we cannot definitively tell you how long each perfume will last for you, but we can say that some are more ephemeral than others due to their compositions. 

 

Are your fragrances natural?

While our fragrances are not 100% natural, we utilise significantly higher quantities of natural essences than is typical in the fragrance industry. The higher the concentration of natural ingredients, the more risk of negative reactions, because natural essences change year-by-year based on factors such as growing conditions and weather. However, all of our fragrances are IFRA compliant, and therefore very safe. 

 

Are you fragrances organic?

We carefully select the ingredients which end up in our final products. While they are not organic, they do not contain phthalates or any extracts from genetically-modified plants. The alcohol we use is distilled from organic beetroot. 

 

Where are your fragrances made?

We create our perfume oil blends in Australia using both Australian and global essences. We then send these to France to be diluted in alcohol and bottled.

 

How do I chose the best fragrance for me?

We recommend purchasing a Discovery Sample Selection if you have not already experienced our perfumes. This will allow you to choose for yourself which fragrances you like best, and getting help from those close to you will help to discover which best suit your style and unique skin chemistry. If you'd like some assistance, feel free to contact us. 

 

How should I store perfume?

To keep your perfumes smelling great, store them in a cool, dark place such as a cupboard or wardrobe. If you would like to have them out on display instead, ensure that they are at least away from direct sunlight, and are not in a bathroom (light and heat are both very damaging to perfumes). Though storing in a cupboard will increase their life more, somewhere like a bedroom shelf is still a reasonable middle ground between aesthetic appeal and proper storage.

What do I do if my order is late or hasn’t been delivered?

Particularly as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we sometimes experience shipping delays. If it has been more than 14 days since you ordered, though, feel free to contact us. 

Can I return or exchange a perfume purchased on the Goldfield & Banks website?

Any product ordered on our website can be returned within 10 days following the day of receipt, and subject to the terms in our Return Policy. If you are buying a 100ml or 50ml perfume you have not smelled before, we recommend adding a sample of it as one of the two free samples you are entitled to with the purchase of any 100ml or 50ml perfume. This way you can test the fragrance before unsealing the full bottle. 

 

Do I have to pay shipping for returned products? 

Yes. Except in cases of damaged, incorrect or faulty goods, shipping costs for returned products need to be paid by the customer. 

 

How long will it take for the refund to arrive? 

Once we have approved a refund, the payment should arrive within three business days, but it is usually a lot faster than this. 

As perfume formulas cannot be copyrighted, most brands choose to keep their exact lists of ingredients to themselves to prevent others from copying their formulas. This is in line with international regulations on perfumery.

 

However, in cases where an ingredient may cause an allergic reaction in some people (like with peanuts in food products), it needs to be listed. All ingredients that don't fall into this category are included under the umbrella term 'Parfum (fragrance)' in ingredients lists. This includes almost all of the natural ingredients we use in our perfumes, which is why you don't see (for example) 'Australian sandalwood oil' in our ingredients lists, despite the fact that it is in most of our perfumes.

 

All non-scented ingredients are also listed, such as those which help to prevent damage from sunlight.
