PACIFIC ROCK SWELL

Pacific Rock Swell is a unisex Extrait de Parfum by Goldfield & Banks, the Australian luxury perfume house founded by Dimitri Weber. Created in 2026 to celebrate the brand's tenth anniversary and signed by perfumer Leonardo Lucheze of Takasago, it opens a new chapter in the Pacific Collection: a marine woody fragrance concentrated at 30%, which takes up the legacy of Pacific Rock Moss and carries it towards a richer, more textured and more intense expression of the ocean.

The Fragrance

Pacific Rock Swell tells the story of the ocean in the moment before the wave: the tide gathers power, the air grows thick with salt and the water begins to rise. The brand describes it as marine and captivating, a meeting of fresh oceanic bursts, crisp citrus, sun-warmed woods and cool mineral clarity, with a darker, more textured presence at the heart of the composition. As it develops, brightness gives way to something deeper and more expansive, like sunlight filtering through the water until it touches the ocean floor. Like all of the house's creations, it combines Australian raw materials with French savoir-faire, under the artistic direction of Dimitri Weber.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is fresh and vibrant: bergamot brings a crisp citrus light, cardamom a cool, spicy nuance and clary sage an aromatic, herbal tone reminiscent of sea air. In the heart, the marine soul of the fragrance emerges: dark, briny seaweed intertwines with clary sage absolute and geranium, while mimosa absolute adds a sunny softness and fir balsam absolute and labdanum absolute bring a resinous depth, like the vegetation of the coast. As the hours pass, the fragrance settles on a warm, mineral base of Australian sandalwood, patchouli and ambergris, softened by Madagascan ylang ylang: a trail that stays close to the skin, diffusive and intimate at once.

Who We Recommend Pacific Rock Swell To

We recommend Pacific Rock Swell to anyone who loves marine fragrances but wants them with more body and more character, and to anyone who already wears Pacific Rock Moss and is looking for a deeper version, one to wear in the evening too. It is at its best from spring to autumn, by the sea as well as in the city, and its Extrait concentration also makes it suitable for occasions when you want a stronger presence. It is a unisex fragrance, for anyone who wants to carry the power of the ocean with them.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Opinion

Pacific Rock Swell is a marine fragrance that does not smell like the usual marine scents: it has a depth and a texture rarely found in this genre, and it stays elegant from start to finish. It is one of those fragrances that surprise anyone who thinks a fresh scent has to be a light one.

FAQ

What is the difference between Pacific Rock Swell and Pacific Rock Moss?
Pacific Rock Moss is the eau de parfum that opened the story of Goldfield & Banks: fresh, bright, concentrated at 20%. Pacific Rock Swell takes up its oceanic inspiration in an Extrait de Parfum at 30%, richer and more textured, with a darker marine heart and a warm, mineral base.

What does the name Swell mean?
In English, a swell is the long ocean wave that builds offshore before breaking on the coast. The fragrance captures exactly that instant: according to Goldfield & Banks, the moment before the break, when the tide gathers power and the ocean begins to rise.

Why was Pacific Rock Swell created?
It is the fragrance with which Goldfield & Banks celebrates its tenth anniversary: the brand was born in 2016 with Pacific Rock Moss, its first formula, and in 2026 it returned to the Pacific Collection with a new chapter. The composition is signed by perfumer Leonardo Lucheze of Takasago, under the artistic direction of Dimitri Weber.

How long does Pacific Rock Swell last?
With a concentration of 30%, that of an Extrait de Parfum, it is designed to stay on the skin for a long time; the brand describes its trail as warm and mineral, close to the skin, diffusive and intimate at once. To make it last even longer, we recommend spraying it on moisturised skin and on fabrics.
