Eau de Space - The Smell of Space

intoxicatingly bad! this smells like burning plastic with something fleshy, lactonic, and slightly sweet in the background. dirty and clean at the same time. this could be some type of fuel for a terrifying machine. it fills me with both hope & despair! i obviously don't recommend wearing this, but i feel even more in awe of our galaxy now that i know her signature scent. 🩶

I own this. It's painful. Genius awful. ping me for a decant <3

Wow! I was stunned by the feelings evoked by this scent. First impressions brought on feelings of loneliness and a vague unsettling existential ennui. At the same time, it invites exploration. If this is truly a realistic representation of space, I am impressed with the psychological fortitude that an astronaut must have. It depicts a strong anthropic foil or raw realism that is both cold/metallic as well as primitive and ...sludgy? A lightning storm where one can smell an electric charge in the air, but also an old rotten bog filled with organic material or a "primordial soup". After inital perception, the metallic notes are replaced with what I assume are the plastic/latex/ozone elements, but it reads more like peat and ammonia when mingling with underlying sweet notes of fermented sugar. When I have friends smell this, they almost always mention feces and/or urine, and this is more pronounced on the skin, so I would not recommend wearing this (at least not on its own). Overall, I think the middle steers more sterile than that, so the diaper/retirement home comparisons seem a bit more accurate. If you enjoy unusual or more alternative smells, I think you'll at least get a kick out of this. I don't think it's far fetched to say this scent could even be enjoyable or satisfying for those with a more primitive curiosity as a foray into a most unnatural natural world. For me, while I did enjoy the trip, I also found comfort in eventually returning to Earth.

I just find it interesting. That someone would have the impetus to recreate a smell that only a handful of humans have actually experienced and something that nobody else on earth can actually access. Great idea, I love that. As far as wearing it, fine if you want people to be disgusted with you. Someone described it as a used condom set on fire... I absolutely can't disagree. There is a male excretion smell to this I can't get past. I wish I could smell the biscuit, rum, almond and fruit but it is not there for me at all. It's metallic male bathroom minus the urine. Still, if this is what space actually smells like, it's something I'm grateful to have been a part of. I will never wear it around people, only when I'm alone and feel like entertaining what space smells like. I've already got a disgusted "what's that smell?" from one person today and I put only a teeny amount on my hand. If I want to be kind, I'll say this olfactory experience is a "what a time to be alive" moment more than an enjoyable fragrance experience (at all, there is nothing that smells good about it.)

this isn't nearly as disgusting or violent as everyone seems to say it is. while i would never wear this, there's something so cool about it, the fact that it's supposedly really accurate is so strange because... why does it smell like that... but yeah. no fruits, no biscuit, lots of latex and lots of sharpie. like yeah, it's not something you would wear, and it did make my mouth water in a "i may throw up" way at first, and it stays on your skin for far too long, it's cool to know that this is what space... smells like? i think?
