Dusty and earthy

I was looking for a gunpowder fragrance and Moon Dust was suggested as a possibility. I can say for sure this is no gunpowder fragrance. I was not able to really detect unique notes. Seems to be pretty well blended. Also is very linear; did not change over its life. The fragrance itself is rather unique. Nose to skin, the best I can describe it, smells like dusty wood with the smell of cooking farina or grits. Weird, eh? In the air though, it has a dusty earthy type of scent. Longevity is pretty good while projection and sillage is more moderate after the first hour or so.

For me, it was just an OK scent. Nothing that I'd bother with. And it didn't match either as a gunpowder scent.

What’s the scent of moon dust ?

“It is said that the moon smells of gunpowder after the rain."
Could one ever recreate the scent of moon dust? I believe each of us imagines it differently: and this fragrance, let's say, does not represent my vision.
But... it is unique, and I liked it.
I certainly wouldn't attribute it to the moon, but rather to the planet Mars, because I find it slightly metallic, yet warm and woody in its accords, with spicy notes that give it color.
I also smell woody notes, which make it even more enveloping, but with a strong personality; in short, it is not a fragrance for everyone.
Absolutely worth experiencing, I find it truly original and pleasant.

MiN New York-Moon Dust

A great and unique perfume. Especially for lovers of dark, dry, earthy scents, burnt earth, tobacco, patchouli and musk. The fragrance reminds me of Black Tourmaline by Olivier Durbano, with more earthiness and less incense.
A truly unique creation. Additionally, the projection is very high, and the longevity is quietly around 8-10 hours.
I recommend it to all who like these atmospheres because it is worth having in your collection.

Bois de MiN

Nothing more and nothing less than Naomi Goodsir’s Bois d’ascèse – or a similar “dry synthetic contemporary smoky” scent - with a sprinkle of resins (and maybe violet too? I smell something powdery). Basically a hypotetical “Bois d’Ascèse Amber”. Warmer, more “medicinal” than that, but that’s it. Now, this at least smells nice (which, for my experience with this line, is a win already), albeit showing the same feel of “unsubstantial, rushed incompleteness” of other MiN scents... but I don’t see any plausible reasons for spending nearly twice the price of Bois d’ascèse to get a minimal variation out of it.

Moondust ein gedicht zum duft

Ein Hauch von Nacht auf warmer Haut,
wie Staub vom Mond, geheimnisgrau,
er trägt die Ruhe, kühl und laut
ein Traum in Rauch, so kühn und rau.

Der erste Zug: Metall und Stein,
als wärst du fern von Raum und Zeit,
doch bald wird Asche sanft und fein,
ein Flüstern in Unendlichkeit.

Tabak, wie Glut im Nebelwind,
verwebt mit Leder, schwarz und schwer,
ein Duft, der dir Geschichten spinnt
von Orten zwischen Sternenmeer.

Nicht süß, nicht hell und doch so tief,
ein Rätsel, das dich leise kennt,
ein Hauch, der Spuren in dir schrieb
wie Gravur auf Firmament.

Moondust nicht Duft, vielmehr Gefühl,
ein Echo aus der Dämmerung,
ein stiller Tanz, so stolz, so kühl
die Nacht trägt ihn wie Königskrum.
