Dirty gold digger is a literal reference to a Victorian character who arrived in Australia for the 1850’s gold rush. While digging for gold men at some point have become aware of a divine fresh aroma covering their hands and clothes. They were working underneath eucalyptus trees and the oils from the leaves would settle on the prospectors. In search for gold, they found eucalyptus.
Dirty Gold Digger, the perfume, gives you that airy elusive and pleasant aroma of the eucalyptus tree as if your right under one. It’s is refreshing and sunny.

All about this fragrance
Vibe check
A sunlit afternoon with dust on your shoes and eucalyptus overhead: this fragrance carries an outdoorsy freshness without feeling austere. Yuzu and mint keep the mood alert, while soft woods and tonka bring warmth suited to relaxed, close conversation after the walk.
How to wear
The citrus and eucalyptus profile lends itself to mild or warm weather, with soft woods providing a warmer counterpoint as the air cools. Start with one or two sprays on the neck or upper chest; beneath a light layer, the aromatic freshness can mingle with the gentler woody base rather than dominate.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to aromatic citrus scents with a distinctly botanical edge. It suits a taste for eucalyptus, mint and soft woods, with enough spice and tonka warmth to move beyond brisk freshness without becoming a full gourmand.

The nose
Craig Andrade founded The Raconteur in 2019 after a career in law. He trained at the Grasse Institute of Perfumery and studied natural perfumery with Mandy Aftel. His concept-led approach brings Australian landscapes, history and irreverent storytelling into fragrance. For Dirty Gold Digger, he built around native eucalyptus, pairing it with yuzu and softening the composition with tonka bean and amyris.
Raconteur’s story
The Raconteur translates Australian people, places and cultural stories into concept-led fragrances with a streak of cheeky humour. Conceived, formulated and hand-poured in Australia, its scents foreground native botanicals while allowing synthetic materials where ethical or sustainability considerations favour them.
Dirty Gold Digger’s concept
Visits to old gold-mining towns in central Victoria inspired Andrade to capture the ambition and uncertainty of prospecting in an optimistic contemporary scent. The house’s inspiration story imagines prospectors finding eucalyptus on their hands and clothes while searching for gold, recasting the aromatic oil as botanical ‘liquid gold’.
Extra info
The name refers literally to a gold prospector, with eucalyptus oil supplying the story’s second kind of ‘gold’. Andrade has singled out Dirty Gold Digger as a personally meaningful creation, connecting its celebration of dream-chasers with his own willingness to take risks. The official note list identifies both eucalyptus and bush mint as Australian botanicals.
