Pacific Rock Swell

by Leonardo Lucheze

Pacific Rock Swell captures the power of the Australian ocean as the swell builds before it breaks. Bergamot, cardamom and clary sage bring a lively freshness, soon deepened by the salty, mineral facets of seaweed.

Patchouli and Australian sandalwood warm the base, while ambergris and moss carry the fragrance into a luminous, woody and deeply marine sillage.

The fragrance

Pacific Rock Swell seizes a precise moment: when the ocean rises, light glides across the surface of the water and the wave gathers all its power before breaking. A creation inspired by the wild coasts of Australia, conceived as a more intense, textured take on the Pacific Rock world.

The fragrance starts with a sparkling freshness of bergamot and cardamom, lifted by the aromatic facet of clary sage. An invigorating opening that recalls sea air heavy with spray and the feeling of a wave crashing against the rocks.

At the heart, seaweed brings a darker, mineral dimension. It blends with geranium, mimosa and fir balsam to create a living, salty and textured material, where the freshness gradually moves towards greater depth.

The base reveals an unexpected warmth. Patchouli and Australian sandalwood anchor the composition in a deep, woody dimension, while ambergris and moss leave a mineral, luminous and lasting trail on the skin.

The brand

Goldfield & Banks is a perfume house founded in Australia, born in Sydney in 2016 out of love at first sight. Dimitri Weber, a Franco-Belgian perfumer, visited Australia for the first time around 2014 and went looking for an Australian perfume brand. He could not find a single one. Fascinated by the botanical wealth of a continent that modern perfumery had almost never explored, he decided to stay and create what did not yet exist. The name of the house pays tribute to Joseph Banks, the British botanist who sailed with James Cook on his voyage around the world in the 18th century and was the first to reveal the extraordinary plant diversity of Australia to Europe. Dimitri Weber brings that same explorer’s curiosity to his fragrances: boronia, Australian red ginger, Tasmanian sandalwood, southern coastal moss, Tasmanian lavender grown from Provençal plants transplanted a century ago. Rare ingredients, seldom or never used in perfumery, harvested locally then sent to France to be formulated with organic beet alcohol and bottled using European methods. Each fragrance is a precise postcard: a sunset over the Indian Ocean for Sunset Hour, the feeling of walking along a wave-battered coast for Pacific Rock Flower, the warmth of a rose in the middle of the desert for Rose Magnitude. High-concentration extraits, designed to last and leave a clear mark. Australia in a bottle, composed with French expertise.
