The Dis - Dance

In the niche world, I've already met a few transformation artists who change their scent over the course of several hours and smell completely different on skin and clothing, but this fragrance creates something that I have never experienced in this form;

It smells completely different depending on the distance. I have already experienced this with other fragrances, but it is new to me in such an extreme way.
Please don't be intimidated by the fragrance pyramid, this is not a pencil-lead-metal-T-800 banger à la Noir Anthracite - which I had actually expected and also find exciting - but an extremely invigorating, ozone-like freshie with exciting twists.

The fragrance proves its chameleon kinship by playing with distance.

The sillage is enormous. Room-filling - extremely unusual for an extrait. Sprayed onto a perfume card and placed in the room, it spreads an unobtrusive, pleasant ozone freshness as mentioned before. When you leave the room and come back, you realize how strong it is. Placed in the hallway, this freshness accompanies you every time with the slightest breeze. Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum becomes envious here, I have rarely experienced anything like it.

However, when you get closer to the card - or the sprayed piece of skin - Super Nova shows its second face. Here it becomes metallic, cool, earthy - and you start to doubt that the freshness from a moment ago couldn't have come from this place after all.

Overall, I find the fragrance concept totally exciting; space suits are said to smell like gunpowder as soon as you have taken your first walk. So you have the smell of space, the metal of spaceships, gloomy, earthy end-time notes and the ozony, lonely freshness of new beginnings - all captured in one bottle.

Perhaps too simplistic for some, too linear in its progression, boring. When it comes to cooking, they say "the eye eats with you" - with fragrances, I say "the brain smells with you" - but as a concept and old sci-fi fan, I think this fragrance is just great.
