I blind purchased this after reading the notes on Fragrantica which included powdery, Iris, musky, earthy, white floral and animalic.
This is not a soft unassuming musky powdery perfume but has animalic oomph in it after an earthy and ozone and almost metallic opening. It quickly develops into an animalic musky powder with notes of orris and faint white florals. I don’t however smell any Iris.
The bottle and box are beautifully presented while a small gold plate that is dedicated to man first walking on the moon in July 1969. While this perfume is an ode to an historic space moment in 1969, it’s certainly not a retro perfume.
This perfume is contemporary, complex and complicated. But comforting at the same time.
While it is mean to be unisex, I think it is more feminine than masculine. It’s the sort of perfume I have to be in the mood to wear and one small squirt is plenty. Longevity is at least 6-8 hours and even longer on clothing.
I’d recommend you sample before buying as online reviews typically describe it as a soft unassuming white floral musk - which I found it is not.
