Sea-spray moss, lemon, cedar, white musk
Pacific Rock Moss was the first formulation Goldfield & Banks ever made, centred on Australian coastal moss from the South Coast. Italian lemon, French sage and Egyptian geranium accent it, Virginia cedarwood and white musk close it. Its family is aromatic aquatic, according to the house. Moss is an unusual lead, so a 10 ml decant is a good way to see how it wears.

How it unfolds
-
Moss at the centre
The brand places the coastal moss in the middle and arranges the rest around it. Moss tends to feel damp, green and a little mineral, and the house points it towards sea spray and summer light. Start by noticing whether that cool, green character is what you want from a perfume.
-
Lemon, sage, geranium
Italian lemon adds clean brightness, French sage a dry, herbal edge and Egyptian geranium a green, faintly rosy softness. They are accents, not leads. The brand gives no top, heart and base for this perfume, so the notes are listed together, and you judge them as one combined picture.
-
Cedar and white musk
Virginia cedarwood is dry and pencil-like, white musk is clean and soft, and together they stop the moss from turning heavy. Because the finish is woody and musky, it stays quiet. Check on a second day whether it still feels fresh to you once the lemon has gone.
Testing it
How to test it, for whom and why
How to test it
Apply it to the neck and wrists on a mild or warm day and let it settle before you judge it. It is an Eau de Parfum, so a few sprays are plenty. Try it once at a desk and once outdoors, since a green, mossy scent can feel quite different in still air and open air.
Who it is for
The brand calls its whole range gender-free, so it is unisex. It suits people who like aromatic, herbal scents with a mineral, green character and who prefer clean over sweet. If you are looking for sugar or vanilla, this is not that perfume, and the sample will confirm it quickly.
Why try Goldfield & Banks Pacific Rock Moss as a sample first
Moss is not a note everyone enjoys, and it is not easy to judge from words alone. Our 10 ml decant, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us, lets you test the first perfume the house ever made before you take the 50 ml bottle.

Frequently asked
What is this perfume built on?
Coastal moss from Australia's South Coast leads, with Italian lemon, French sage and Egyptian geranium as accents and Virginia cedarwood and white musk beneath. The house sorts it into aromatic aquatics.
What is in the vial I receive?
A 10 ml decant in a glass spray vial, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. It is not an official brand sample, and Goldfield & Banks is not involved.
Is it fresh or sweet?
Fresh. The notes are moss, lemon, sage, geranium, cedarwood and white musk, with no vanilla, caramel or other sweet note listed. Think green, clean and dry.
Why are the notes not split into levels?
The brand publishes a flat list of botanicals and essences, not a pyramid, so this page shows them together instead of inventing a top, heart and base.
The brand
About Goldfield & Banks
Goldfield & Banks builds its perfumes around native Australian botanicals: coastal moss, finger lime, desert peach, rainforest agarwood. Dimitri Weber, the French-Belgian creative director, pairs each of them with a different perfumer, and every product page states how concentrated the result is, between 20 and 26%. Most noses have never met these ingredients, so a 10 ml decant on your own skin is the honest way to find out which landscape suits you.

I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
