Sydney Rock Pool

Skin after a swim in the sun: salt, stone and a breath of coconut. Sydney Rock Pool by Arquiste is a bright, transportive fragrance inspired by sunlit ocean pools along the Australian coast. Mineral and marine accents, coconut skin and Australian sandalwood open the scent, while frangipani, jasmine and narcissus bloom over driftwood. Seaweed, sea salt and amber linger in the base. The Story The fragrance began as a bespoke, small-batch scent commissioned by Condé Nast Traveler for its Destination of the Year: Australia celebration in 2016, before developing into a full Arquiste fragrance. Carlos Huber wanted to capture swimming in Sydney's saltwater rock pools after a day in the sun, with the scent of warm, sun-soaked skin and a distinct coconut note, developed with Rodrigo Flores-Roux. The brand describes it as a mineral, ambery and subtly tropical scent. How It Smells Opening A mineral accord and a coconut skin accord with Australian sandalwood give a crisp marine brightness. Heart Driftwood, narcissus absolute, frangipani and jasmine sambac add soft florals with a warm, salty, mineral smoothness. Dry Down Seaweed, a sea salt accord and Ambermax leave a clean, skin-like warmth, like skin after a swim in the sun.
