The Smell of the Moon a unisex aromatic fragrance. Launched in 2020, it was created by Steve Pearce. It has been described as "a unique smell, that's hard to describe...like spent gunpowder". Eau de Luna The Smell of the Moon was based on early accounts from Apollo Astronauts and is an authentic account of a lunar experience. Based on the success of the Kickstarter campaign for Eau de Space, Eau de Luna is based on verified astronaut accounts from the only 12 people to ever step on the moon's surface. In 2010, artists working with the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam created a limited edition, scratch-and-sniff print that featured the smell of the moon using Pearce's "Moondust Natural R342" scent. Pearce designed the lunar aroma around Apollo 16 moonwalker Charlie Duke's description of the lunar regolith, or soil. "It is really a strong smell," radioed Duke after getting a whiff of the dust from the stains on his spacesuit once he was back inside the lunar module on the moon in 1972. "It has that taste to me of gunpowder — and the smell of gunpowder, too." On the next mission, Apollo 17, Gene Cernan remarked, “smells like someone just fired a carbine in here." Apparently every Apollo astronaut would bring moondust back inside the lander. Moondust was incredibly clingy, sticking to boots, gloves and other exposed surfaces. No matter how hard they tried to brush their suits before re-entering the cabin, some dust made its way inside. Once their helmets and gloves were off, the astronauts could feel, smell and even taste the moon and now you can too. Eau de Luna The Smell of the Moon is an eau de parfum, edp.
EAU DE SPACE EAU DE LUNA THE SMELL OF THE MOON REVIEWS
Fragrantica: Kickstarter campaign frag. Believable rendition of moon dust. Similarities to Michael Storer's Monk and LDDM by Tauer with that dry, mortar, dirt note -- like old plaster and books. Also has a vanilla type note. Odd but pleasant and wearable. Long-lasting and linear.
Fragrantica: Very strange opening, somewhat musky. Dries down and it gets more pleasant. I get a weird sexual vibe emanating from the fragrance. Very strange. The moon sure is a strange place if it smells like this.
