SCENT STORIES VOL.1/CH.11
$280.00
MOON DUST pays tribute to the surreal reports of astronauts who described the Moon’s surface as smelling of spent gunpowder. Captivated by this olfactory mystery, MiN NEW YORK translates lunar desolation into scent — stark, mineral-rich, and hauntingly beautiful. Imagine the silent expanse of space, where dust clings to suits under a starlit void. Both futuristic and timeless, MOON DUST embodies the spirit of exploration, daring, and the unknown.
MOON DUST is a Woody Powdery Ambery fragrance that captures the enigmatic scent of the lunar surface — a bold fusion of the ethereal and the primal. Inspired by astronauts’ accounts of lunar dust as “spent gunpowder,” it opens with coriander, mineral accord, and carrot seed, evoking a dry, rooty brightness. The heart reveals flint, ozone, and tobacco, unfolding ashen smoke and leathery depth against the silence of space. Anchored by benzoin, black musk, and earth, the base lingers with a powdery, mysterious warmth — like cosmic dust settling on skin. Iconic and otherworldly, MOON DUST is a cult creation within MiN NEW YORK’s olfactory anthology, crafted for those who dream beyond the stars.
