Metallic Library
I received the fragrance without looking for it. It was "recommended" to me.

The first sniff was: "Oh, ... oh ... this is ... Mh .... strange ... mh ... but ... also kind of cool."
For an untrained nose, I couldn't describe the fragrance other than smoke. I definitely picked up on the smoke.
I wanted to categorize what I was smelling, I wanted to give the fragrance an image.
I searched for the fragrance on Parfumo .... similar .... what does Two-House Kermesberry, Ambermax, Silvanone, Boisiris, or Rosyrane smell like.
As confused as I was after the first sniff, I was still just as confused by the notes. And that's exactly how the fragrance smells to me.

A day later, I tested the fragrance again. The strange and confusing feeling is slowly fading. The fragrance starts to smell "normal" or "familiar."
I find the concept of the fragrance really exciting and somehow cool. After reading that, I also think I can smell the metallic note. Slowly, I can form an image of the fragrance.
In my nose, I feel that the fragrance lives through its concept.
In the drydown, the fragrance begins to smell sweet, the smoke is gone, but the metallic note remains.
If I try to forget the concept, the fragrance reminds me of our city library, where I spent time as a child.

The fragrance is interesting, it doesn't smell bad ... but that's about it for me. I see the fragrance more on a man. The fragrance is worth experiencing, but that's all.

UPDATE:
My God, the promotional video is awesome. ? Exactly my taste. It influenced me more than I thought. Definitely increased in sympathy points. And yes, for the fragrance itself.

The Scent of Outer Space
What does outer space smell like? Dr. Heywood Floyd sat pondering in a white Chesterfield armchair over the brightly glowing glass tiles of a Neo-Victorian space station at the other end of a wondrous wormhole. If one believed in the creation story, it would probably be incense that filled the vastness. Balsamic boswellian images of smoking ambers unfolded in his imagination.
Or would our senses be deceived by chemical compounds? Those in our head, our mind, the stardust of the known and unknown periodic table? What does the white leather of this chair smell like now that it exists in an imagined universe? And if the image of the chair were not here, would I imagine it because of the chemical connection that tries to imitate it?
Does space really smell like burning wood, even if this has only been proven on a single planet? What would my skin smell like if it were made of metals that had begun to oxidize? Would it turn to animalistic powder? Could there possibly exist a reddish smelling balsamic acid?
Calmly, Dr. Floyd put his thoughts on paper, with a pencil, or was it a cedar? I can taste in zero gravity, but are there smells in a vacuum? Perhaps they would wander like airy light ether. Dr. Floyd stared from the rotating space station into infinity, at the glowing lights of the past. H.A.L. must have chuckled.
**
With "Methaldone," Rodrigo Flores Roux attempted to imitate the scent of space in collaboration with astronauts from the ISS. An ambitious concept that he consistently tried to implement with the purely synthetic, partly specially created fragrance compounds Silvavone (described as animalistic powdery or moist metallic), Boisiris (metallic / smoky woody), Rosyrane (sour synthetic floral), and Ambermax (ambery / cedar-like), capturing the "metallic smell of the spaceship, the bitter smoky scent when leaving the cockpit."
What has emerged, in my opinion, is a rather skin-close projecting, airy light, balsamic incense scent, swirling in a cloud of red resin drops with slightly sour as well as light woody smoky components. I perceive leather, just like a development, not. My spacewalk lasted about four to five hours.

Roofing felt, color, varnish. Hardware store. Workshop. Studio. Metal shavings, silver-gloss curls. Demanding. Creative. Let's create.

Metallic severity, artificial wood, hairspray. Cold and unwelcoming, it pierces my nose like needles. Really unpleasant.

1796: The rack is stretched, the wood creaks, the metal groans, bones are torn from their joints. The torturer stokes the fire.

Completely abstract scent that shifts between metallic and woody notes. Ultimately too dull and artificial for me, though it's new.

Association: Fred Flintstone is on his way home from the quarry. Quite chalky-cool-cold - not exactly a Yabbadabbadoo!

Great top note that reminds me of metal welding, but then unfortunately turns synthetic with a woody-spicy vetiver vibe and becomes too nice for me. What a pity!

Somehow a cool concept. Very herbal, very strict and clear, sparkling; a wooden cabin in outer space, turning into a dark xylophone. Very cool.

Wooden thresholds, metal abrasion, cold drafts, cellar must, "Please stand back," dangerously close to a subway scent, beautiful fragrance!

damp oxidized metal, rain-soaked artificial wood, abstract bright floral notes, crystalline transparent musk or something like that
