Pure refreshment

I was looking for a fragrance that really gives me a refreshing feeling. I came across Pacific Rock Moss. I was about to buy it blind, but it was available for testing in my perfumery. After the first sniff I knew I had to buy it. The lemon and sage immediately stand out and give you a good mood kick. After a while the scent went in a sweet direction which I didn't expect. However, I am a big fan of fresh sweet scents and it fits right in. Really great fragrance for the summer or for the gym. For me personally, the fragrance lasts a good 6-7 hours but re-spraying is no problem at all. Highly recommended!

Refreshment on the coast of Australia

All in all, Pacific Rock Moss is simply a great summer fragrance for hot days. It offers a great and, for me, unique blend of citrusy notes and Pacific coastal moss. I've never been to Australia myself, but when I smell this perfume, I can imagine the vibe on the Australian coast.

The citrusy, fresh and aquatic note is very refreshing but also invigorating. When I wear this fragrance, I feel like I'm lying on the beach on vacation.

The fragrance has a fairly acceptable longevity for a summer fragrance (around 5-6 hours). The sillage is also not above average, but I don't think this is absolutely necessary for a summer fragrance. The bottle is discreet, but still beautiful.

Basically an absolute recommendation for the summer, which everyone should have tested once.

Perfect Unisex Summer Fragrance

The marine note in this is perfect. It’s clean, fresh, and uplifting unlike the salty or greasy funky oceanic perfumes like Womanity or Megamare. I don't get any of the moss and only a hint of lemon (on paper the citrus is barely detectible). This is an ideal unisex fragrance for summer and yes I own a 100 ml of this with 2 10 ml travel sizes. This is my first truly aquatic perfume and it’s been game-changing for me! I also normally don't buy artificially coloured perfumes but the smell in this is makes me disregard it.

And also why are people saying this has bad performance? The smell is similar to Wood Sage and Sea Salt but projection is strong and longevity is over 7 hours, with the smell still detectible after that time on skin. As the drydown emerges I am also reminded of Bal D'Afrique by Byredo although there's no vetiver in this but the sage has a similar herbal quality.

Refreshing day by the sea

The scent brings back beautiful memories of a day by the sea.
I walk along an embankment in a nature reserve, breathing in deeply the air that the sea and nature give me...
There is also a pleasant citrus note. This gives the whole thing a certain "freshness kick".
Unlike Tobacco Vanille Eau de Parfum or Burdèl, for example, the components do not fall apart completely after a few minutes, but last for a few hours, just like when you first smell them, until they slowly but surely blend with your own body odor and finally disappear.

For me, a beautiful, unusual fragrance and a must-have for the summer :)

Very nice freshie, balanced and modern

Pacific Rock Moss is the once-extremely-hyped release from Goldfield & Banks as part of its initial 2016 group, a fresh, green, mossy, woody blend that’s well-rounded and modern, with listed notes of Australian coastal moss, lemon, sage, geranium, and cedar. It’s easygoing but seems carefully composed and rather smoothed out, a unisex freshie that, while conjuring vacation / beach situations, nonetheless seems like it could work for most situations. Whereas Blue Cypress reminds of some freshies of the 90s and 2000s, vaguely, Pacific Rock Moss feels more deliberately modern and it’s quite nicely done.

Pacific Rock Moss, like most of the main collection, is priced at $190 for 100ml and sold at US boutiques like Perfumology. It does seem like some sources also sell the 50ml for $130 and 10ml for $36, and it’s very nice to have such a diversity of options nowadays.
