Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's ‘favourite Aussie perfumes' just dropped a dreamy new scent
When an iconic Australian fragrance house drops a new scent, it's worth paying attention. Goldfield & Banks, the perfumery adored by A-listers (yes, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are reportedly fans), has just released Pacific Rock Flower and it's already turning heads for all the right reasons. A sparkling new chapter in the brand's beloved Pacific Rock Moss story, Pacific Rock Flower is a luminous, aquatic-floral fragrance that's every bit as fresh as a salty sea breeze. The scent is described as a shimmering blend of wild botanicals, sea spray and windswept blooms, capturing the wild beauty of Australia's South Coast in a bottle. ' Pacific Rock Flower is a love letter to the coastline,' says founder Dimitri Weber. 'It's luminous, expressive and distinctly Australian.' With a hefty 25 per cent perfume concentration, the Eau de Parfum is powerful, long-wearing and designed to shine all year round. Made in collaboration with master perfumer Emilie Bouge in Grasse, France, this unisex scent blends French perfume artistry with native Australian ingredients, and the result is nothing short of magic. But if you're new to the world of Goldfield & Banks, don't stop at just one. Below, we've rounded up five of the brand's best-sellers worth spritzing into your scent wardrobe, each with its own story, character and following. 1. Ingenious Ginger Eau de Parfum 50ml, $183 at Goldfield & Banks A sunny and seductive blend that opens with sparkling mandarin and spicy ginger, Ingenious Ginger is inspired by the founder's favourite tropical flower, the torch ginger lily. Notes of magnolia, white florals and warm amber round it out for a sultry, feel-good fragrance that's made for golden hour. 2. Sunset Hour Eau de Parfum 100ml, $258 at Goldfield & Banks Evoking the golden moments just before nightfall, this sensual scent blends native fruits with citrus and spices, melting into a floral heart that feels warm, playful and a little bit cheeky. Like a holiday romance in a bottle, this one's best worn as the sun goes down. 3. Pacific Rock Moss Eau de Parfum 100ml, $258 at Goldfield & Banks The original classic. With fresh marine notes and aromatic woods, this scent feels like a walk along the Aussie coast, crisp air, crashing waves and all. Perfect for those who love a breezy, unisex fragrance that still feels grounded. 4. Bohemian Lime Eau de Parfum 100ml, $258 at Goldfield & Banks This zesty number is an ode to Byron Bay, with notes of Australian finger lime, coriander, vetiver and sandalwood. It's carefree, it's juicy, and it's as vibrant as a barefoot morning in the rainforest. Genderless, laid-back and effortlessly cool. 5. Silky Woods Eau de Parfum 100ml, $340 at Goldfield & Banks Welcome to the Botanical Series. Silky Woods is the first luxury fragrance in the line and comes encased in molten gold. With sustainably sourced agarwood from Queensland, suede, saffron, incense and vanilla, it's rich, velvety and sensual. One spritz and you're enveloped in warm, golden luxury. Whether you're buying your first bottle or adding to your collection, the new Pacific Rock Flower is the scent of the season and the perfect gift for yourself or someone special.

The top 5 looks from the Tony Awards: Snook and Clooney win
Amal Clooney in Tamara Ralph With Snook championing a British designer, Australian creativity made an unexpected appearance at the Tony Awards on the slender frame of Amal Clooney. With husband George Clooney nominated for his performance in the play Good Night, and Good Luck (not his divisive hair dye for the role), barrister Amal wore a pearl-encrusted, fitted design by Australian designer Tamara Ralph. The former creative director of Ralph & Russo, worn by Meghan Markle, has found greater fame under her own name dressing Angelina Jolie and Blake Lively since parting ways with former partner Michael Russo. Sadie Sink in Prada Sensuous 1930s glamour was on many stars' mood boards this season, but few managed to embody the decade's silky grace as effectively as Stranger Things star Sadie Sink in Prada. The plunging neckline and embellished bow detail playfully combined maturity with hints of mischief. Cole Escola in Wiederhoeft Audiences of Escola's hit play Oh Mary!, focusing on the imagined cabaret aspirations of Mary Todd Lincoln, are familiar with the playwright and performer's unique humour. That humour was present in the best actor award winner's red carpet tribute to Broadway legend Bernadette Peters. Loading Escola's gown from Wiederhoeft was a tribute to the outfit Peters wore to collect her Tony for Annie Get Your Gun at the 1999 ceremony, although the update dispensed with medals across the bodice. 'We found ourselves inspired by additional themes of faded crypticism, false innocence, fightfulness, womanly age-hold historically feminine garments, queenly status and ancient doors,' Jackson Wiederhoeft says. While the dress was a nod to Peters, the hairy chest was all Escola.

The top 5 looks from the Tony Awards: Snook and Clooney win
Sarah Snook clutching her first Tony Award is not the only reason that the stars are now shining brighter on Broadway. The red carpet for US theatre's premier event ditched its dowdy reputation, with divas, directors and ingenues embracing the elevated style of the Emmys and Oscars, without ditching humour, diversity and drama, darling! The presence of US Vogue editor Anna Wintour was a hint of the Met Gala-worthy looks to come from Hollywood actors returning to the stage and Broadway diehards. Cynthia Erivo in Schiaparelli Before returning to Wicked promotional duties later this year for the sequel Wicked: For Good, and the inevitable green-themed dresses, Erivo borrowed from co-star Ariana Grande's preferred palette as Glinda in a velvet blush skirt with an embellished bodice from Schiaparelli's spring haute couture collection. Erivo proceeded to change throughout her hosting duties for the ceremony, but the dramatic pearl-trimmed neckline from Schiaparelli creative director Daniel Roseberry stole the show before the curtain went up. Sarah Snook in Richard Quinn Having embraced the masculine elements of her award-winning performance in The Picture of Dorian Gray at last month's Met Gala, Snook pushed her feminine side to the fore at the Tony Awards. In British designer Richard Quinn's sequinned stretch gown, Snook was sleeker than the statuette she would eventually clutch. Broad shoulders and a high neckline elevated her leading lady status.
