Moon Dust

There is a legend that moon dust smells like spent gunpowder after rain in the desert — a phrase attributed to the Apollo astronauts that became the inspiration here. It opens dry and mineral: carrot seeds and coriander bring an earthy, almost root-like sharpness, while a mineral accord evokes a rocky lunar surface. Flint appears in the heart — a spark, smoke, something between gunpowder and stone — while tobacco adds ashy, leathery depth against the ozone-like transparency of empty space. The drydown is the densest part: benzoin, earthy notes and black musk create a powdery, almost weightless warmth, like cosmic dust settling on the skin. Not for everyone: dry, strange and unlike anything else.
