Sydney Rock Pool
Sydney Rock Pool by Arquiste is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with mineral accord, coconut and sandalwood, moves into driftwood, narcissus, frangipani and sambac jasmine and dries down to seaweed, amberwood and sea salt. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Mineral Accord Wet stone and flint. Cold, dry and modern.
- Coconut Creamy and tropical. Suncream in the best possible way.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
Heart
- Driftwood Salt-bleached and dry. Wood that has been in the sea.
- Narcissus Green, hay-like and slightly animalic. Strange and beautiful.
- Frangipani Creamy tropical floral. Suncream adjacent.
- Sambac Jasmine Greener, more tea-like jasmine. Less indolic than grandiflorum.
Dry-down
- Seaweed Salty, green and faintly funky. Real coastline rather than a bottle of 'fresh'.
- Amberwood Dry synthetic warmth, sharper than amber. Everywhere in modern masculines.
- Sea Salt Mineral and dry. Skin after a day at the beach.
