Goldfield & Banks is an Australian fragrance house known for creating bold, nature-inspired compositions that often blur gender conventions. Purple Suede Pure represents the brand's willingness to push traditional chypre structures into more unconventional territory.

The fragrance opens with a sharp leather and pink pepper combination, softened slightly by lavender, immediately establishing an edgy floral-leather dynamic. The heart deepens this character with leatherwood and hyssop, adding herbaceous texture to the leather's prominence. The base is where Purple Suede Pure reveals its full complexity, layering oud and agarwood alongside patchouli, oakmoss, and civet for a woody, animalic foundation that grounds the composition. The overall accord leans heavily into woody-leather territory with amber providing warmth, creating a sophisticated chypre that feels modern and slightly austere rather than traditionally feminine.

This suits fragrance enthusiasts who gravitate toward unconventional compositions and aren't looking for a soft or traditionally pretty scent. It performs best in cooler months or evening wear when its full-bodied base can develop properly. Purple Suede Pure aligns with The Mystic, The Maverick, and The Cipher.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified
Top · 0–30 min
Leather
Leather
One of perfumery's most complex accords, smoky, animalic, and slightly woody, evoking tanned hide, polished saddles, or fine gloves depending on the recipe. Leather adds sophistication and edge simultaneously, and is deeply associated with masculinity in Western perfumery (though the best leather fragrances transcend gender entirely).
Lavender
Lavender
One of perfumery's most essential and beloved notes, clean, herbal, and slightly sweet with a calming, familiar quality that works in almost any context. Lavender is simultaneously the most versatile and the most human of ingredients: it appears in barbershop colognes, romantic florals, and sophisticated orientals alike. A note that simply works.
Pink Pepper
Pink Pepper
Fruity, slightly rosy, and gently spiced, pink pepper is softer and more aromatic than black pepper. It occupies a unique space between citrus, floral, and spice families, which makes it exceptionally versatile. You'll find it in contemporary fresh fragrances where it adds lift and personality without aggression.

Hyssop

Leatherwood

Coriander
Coriander
Warm, spicy, and faintly citrusy, coriander seed smells quite different from the green herb, with a dry, woody warmth and a slight floral quality. It adds a spiced, slightly exotic character to masculine fragrances without the sharpness of pepper or the sweetness of vanilla. A supporting spice note that adds complexity.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Cashmeran

Amber
Amber
A warm, resinous accord rather than a single ingredient, amber is typically built from labdanum, benzoin, and vanilla to create a rich, honeyed, almost solar warmth. It's the quintessential base-note family, adding a comforting richness that makes fragrances feel complete. The difference between a fragrance feeling cold and feeling alive.
Patchouli
Patchouli
Dense, earthy, and darkly sweet, patchouli is the scent of damp soil and dried herbs with an almost chocolatey richness. It polarizes people because in high concentrations it's overwhelming, but as a supporting note it adds depth and longevity that almost nothing else can match. The backbone of countless oriental and chypre fragrances.
Civet
Civet
An animalic note with a raw, musky, slightly fecal quality that might sound unappealing but adds extraordinary depth and sensuality in small amounts. Natural civet is no longer used (it was obtained unethically); modern substitutes are kinder but similarly provocative. A hallmark of classic Chanel and Guerlain fragrances.
Oakmoss
Oakmoss
The defining ingredient of classic chypre perfumery, damp, forest-floor earthy with a faint bitterness and incredible complexity. Real oakmoss is now heavily restricted by IFRA regulations, which is why vintage chypres smell so different from modern ones. When present, it creates a raw, outdoorsy anchor that no synthetic fully replicates.
