Australia has a fantastic independent fragrance scene, with brands ranging from affordable, long-lasting perfumes to luxury niche perfumery. If you're specifically looking to support Australian-owned businesses, these are the brands I'd put on your radar.
I've prioritised Australian-founded or Australian-owned brands, rather than simply brands that manufacture in Australia.

## My shortlist
If I were narrowing these down\:
| What you're looking for | My pick |
|--------|--------|
| Luxury niche perfume | Goldfield & Banks |
| High-end Australian fragrance | LUMIRA |
| Unique artistic fragrances | Mihan Aromatics |
| Modern everyday perfume | Who Is Elijah |
| Australian-owned and made | Ficifolia |
| Affordable designer-inspired scents | Hideaway |
| Distinctive fragrance bottles | Map of the Heart |
## A question to help narrow it down
Are you looking for Australian-owned brands because you want to support local businesses, or are you actually looking to discover fragrances that compete with the likes of Dior, Chanel, YSL and Tom Ford?
I can put together a much more targeted list of Australian-owned perfume brands that offer genuinely luxurious, long-lasting fragrances, rather than just locally made body sprays and fragrance dupes.
