Eaudestella

Smells like scented cat litter and hair perm solution at a 90s hair salon combined with grabbing your cat and sniffing it to make sure it still smells like a plush toy. It's an artistically addictive perfume that I keep having to sniff, but not one I would personally like to wear or smell like.

The opening has a sharp skankiness that goes away after a few hours. I assume that's because of the castoreum. The drydown is softer and more powdery and overall it lasts a long time.

It's a very pleasant, comforting, woody perfume, very similar to the group of Molecule 1, Another 13, Commodity Paper, Maison Louis Marie 04, Liis Bo etc. It's neither better, nor worse than any other in this list, and it would be redundant to own more than one with this scent profile. However, if you don't have anything like this, Lunar Dust is definitely worth sampling / considering.

Fresh, floral, soapy, dusty, musky scent. The contrast between the innocent and light lily and the cold and sombre background is absolutely breathtaking. It transports you to the cemetery of an old abandoned church on a cold and foggy day. The moist headstones are partially overgrown with ivy, and lilies are placed on some of the graves. It's a goth's Lazy Sunday Morning. A long lasting, clean, office-friendly perfume with a twist and a staple in my collection.

This perfume opens with a sharp sherbety barbershop/aftershave smell with hints of a sterile wound dressing in a hospital, and it dries down into a chamomile tea, while keeping the aftershave aspect. To my nose there's nothing ghostly, incensy, cold, lonely, or sad about it. It's a light, somewhat unusual fougère. Within this scent category I much prefer Passage d'Enfer by L'Artisan Parfumeur, or Apothéose by Oriza L. Legrand.
