The sound of the sea in bottle form
Every year again! The first intense heat wave sweeps across the country and the question arises as to which fragrance is the right choice. The right choice for the person wearing the fragrance, as well as for their demanding environment. In summer, I prefer fresh, citrusy and aquatic notes and usually avoid heavy fragrances. I find gourmand or amber-heavy perfumes in particular too intense and overwhelming in the heat.
Every year, when the temperature rises above 25°C, I reach for a well-known favorite from my perfume wardrobe. I can no longer imagine life without it. We have fought too many heat battles together. And have become inseparable companions during the summer months. We are talking about the Pacific Rock Moss from Goldfield & Banks. The name means "Pacific rock moss" - and yes, I'll say it right away, the name says it all and fits like a glove!
Goldfield & Banks: Founded in 2016 by Dimitri Weber, a Belgian-French perfumer who settled in Australia. The label has set itself the task of allowing Australian botanical diversity to blossom in its perfumes. With creatively composed fragrance bottles that combine French craftsmanship and Australian essences. Production takes place partly in Switzerland and partly in Melbourne, always with a focus on high-quality, often rare ingredients.
The quality of the fragrances is top shelf and the prices are still affordable. I can only recommend trying out this fragrance house.
But now we come to the protagonist of this, my review...
Pacific Rock Moss saw the light of day in 2016, the year the company was founded. As a unisex fragrance for the warm season, it quickly established itself on the market and is still listed in the top 60 unisex perfumes on Parfumo.
In the early years, the perfume had problems in terms of longevity. The fragrance had to face this criticism for many years until a reformulation was able to remedy the situation. If you are still browsing for offers in the souk today, you should make sure that the bottle has the white label. The less powerful version can be recognized by the slightly brownish label. And this should be avoided at all costs to avoid any nasty surprises in terms of H/S.
Well then - here it is in front of me! This crystal clear, simple bottle. It contains this bright turquoise-colored juice that invites you to jump straight into the refreshing Pacific. The outer shell knows how to please. The bottle is made from high-quality glass. The lid has a gold-colored wood look - although I doubt that it is actually real wood. The sprayer is absolutely top-notch and distributes the fresh water perfectly on my skin.
Pacific Rock Moss is a great fragrance that captivated me from the very first moment. The opening exudes a great aquatic freshness - lightly paired with a gentle citrus. The composition is airy, salty and at the same time fresh, slightly citrusy and green. I have traveled to almost every continent - but I have never been to Australia. With Pacific Rock Moss, I am therefore only suggesting a walk along the Australian coast. I close my eyes and in my mind's eye I am walking along Whitehaven beach. I listen to the sound of the sea and escape the dreariness of everyday life. Pure refreshment! It feels good...sooo good!
Pacific Rock Moss is not a challenging fragrance. But it is not a top note blender either. If you only like experimental fragrances, you should skip Pacific Rock Moss. You don't need a trained nose to enjoy this fragrance. It is very linear and that is a good thing. The opening is therefore a special kind of aquatic refreshment that lasts several hours. The Australian coastal moss is famously interwoven with the citrus and green fragrance accords. Lemon, sage & moss are the main players here. Together they form a fresh trinity that harmonizes perfectly. After a few hours, some "beach wood" joins in. Slightly balsamic and in the direction of sandalwood.
Pacific Rock Moss is perceived as very pleasant by those around you and also gives the wearer of the fragrance a positive kick of freshness for the day! The linear progression of the fragrance makes it a real crowdpleaser. And so I now regularly reach for it again in my perfume wardrobe. Now that the first heat wave is sweeping across the country. Because when nothing else works, the Australian coastal beach is there for me - there to refresh me in a way that very few fragrances can.
In terms of longevity, Pacific Rock Moss does not disappoint. Unless you opt for the older version with the brownish label mentioned above. If, on the other hand, you use the current version (white label), you will get your money's worth. The H/S is good to very good for a fresh fragrance of its kind. It lasts 6-8 hours on my skin, so it accompanies me through a whole working day if need be. That's all I need and want from a fresh fragrance of its kind. At over 30°C and outdoors in the sun, almost every fragrance wears off after a few hours. however, Pacific Rock Moss also masters longer bike rides without literally "giving up the ghost". However, you shouldn't be too sparing when applying it. 8-10 sprays are fine on hot days.
In my opinion, Pacific Rock Moss has a moderate projection, which means that the fragrance can be perceived very well for many hours within a reasonable radius. However, it is definitely not a room filler ala` Megamare - and that's a good thing!
Conclusion: Both thumbs up! The Pacific Rock Moss won me over from day 1 and has been a permanent fixture in my collection for years. I even bought a bunker bottle the last few days. And there are very few fragrances that I would go to the expense of buying a bunker bottle. That's how much I love this niche perfume. For me, it is one of the top 5 summer fragrances in my wardrobe. If you like to wear fresh, light aquatic fragrances in summer, you should perhaps try Pacific Rock Moss. It could be the start of a great summer love affair!
