The brand first launched with a collection of perfumes based around the Australian landscape, and incorporates native plant extracts[2] that represent Australian locations such as Fraser Island, Kakadu National Park, and Byron Bay.[4][6] Goldfield & Banks also uses species introduced to Australia in its collection, such as agarwood grown in the Queensland tropics.[7]

One of the brand's fragrances, Southern Bloom, won the silver award for best new niche fragrance at the 2019 Pure Beauty Awards.[9] Another Goldfield & Banks fragrance, Bohemian Lime, was a finalist in the 2021 Belgian Beauty Awards.[10]
