Moon Dust opens with a sharp kick of black pepper and spice before the mineral notes start creeping in. There’s dirt underneath it almost immediately, dry and dusty rather than damp. The tobacco adds smokiness and gives the whole thing a dark, atmospheric feel.
As it wears, the spice dries down with almost a star anise quality to it, cool and aromatic. It becomes very earthy and metallic, like handling iron tools with dirt still under your fingernails. It feels less like the moon itself and more like digging something up that probably should have stayed buried there. This is everything I wanted Eau de Luna to me, much more wearable and evocative.
