Gunpowder Fragrances?

[tthoms]

I did a search on the board here and found references to a soap that had a gunpowder note, but does anyone know of any fragrances that have it?

If the Soap is Ghost Town Barber, it also comes in aftershave and EDT. I have all three and the EDT is surprisingly long lasting.

This is not necessarily gunpowder, but Chiseled Face has their Midnight Stag which Smells a lot like leather & Hoppe's #9.

Gun powder gets its scent from the saltpeter and potassium nitrate in it.
The chemist in me is off to do some experimentation...

PAA Tombstone has a definite gunpowder note. It's worth trying out a sample.

I think saltpeter is potassium nitrate. The US Military Academy at West Point's colors are drawn from the 3 ingredients of gunpowder. Charcoal (black) saltpeter (grey) and sulphur (dull gold). You should call your chemistry product 'The Long Grey Line.'

Terre d’Hermes is a wonderful fragrance with a gun flint note.

So...

I have made a decent gunpowder scent. That's safe. It lasts about three hours on my skin.
Maybe a perfumist can do better, but I just have a chemistry degree.

I'm willing to send out a few decants.

Noble Otter Plunder. I never wear it out criming due to its GSR notes raising suspicion. Try it at the airport and let me know how it goes!

Comme des Garcons Amazingreen has a gunpowder note. It is a bizarre fragrance though, glad I got a sample instead of a full bottle.

Could make for fun times explaining at the airport that your shave balm contains those and that is why your hands test positive.

I used the real deal for experimenting, but the final product is mostly synthetic. No boom, no alarms.
