Goldfield & Banks Pacific Rock Moss
Coastal moss, lemon and white musk
Pacific Rock Moss is the first formulation Goldfield & Banks ever made, and the brand builds it on Australian coastal moss from the South Coast. Italian lemon, French sage and Egyptian geranium accent the moss, while Virginia cedarwood and white musk give it a woody, musky character. The brand files it as an aromatic aquatic and says it should evoke sea spray and summer light.

How it unfolds
-
What it is built on
The brand puts the coastal moss at the centre and arranges everything else around it. Moss reads damp, green and slightly mineral, and the brand points it towards sea spray and summer light. It describes this as the first formulation the house ever made.
-
Three accents
Italian lemon brings a clean, sharp brightness, French sage adds a dry, herbal edge, and Egyptian geranium gives a green, faintly rosy softness. The brand uses them to accent the moss rather than to lead, so the result stays aromatic and aquatic in the way the brand classifies it.
-
The dry side
Virginia cedarwood and white musk give the scent its woody, musky character. Cedarwood is dry and pencil-like, white musk is clean and soft, and together they keep the moss from turning heavy. The brand does not publish a top, heart and base for this perfume, so the notes are listed together.
Wearing it
When, who and why
Everyday wear
A scent like this suits warm weather and daytime best, when its fresh, green side has room to show. Apply it to the neck and wrists. As an Eau de Parfum with a stated 20% of essences and botanicals, a few sprays are enough.
Who it suits
Unisex in the brand's terms: the house calls its range gender-free. It suits people who like aromatic, herbal scents with a mineral, green character and who prefer something clean over something sweet. If you want sugar or vanilla, this is not that perfume.
Why choose Goldfield & Banks Pacific Rock Moss
Goldfield & Banks builds its perfumes around native Australian botanicals, and this was the first one. The moss is the idea, not a decoration. It was created by François Merle-Baudoin and Carine Certain Boin, and the bottle is French glass with a wooden cap.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
