Space Cowboy™ - Extrait de Parfum

I’ve recently found myself getting into the Cowboy/Western genre of fragrances and it’s been a wild ride. Space Cowboy is exactly what I’ve come to expect from Xyrena -- telling the story it set out to do while amping it up to another uniquely artistic level. This is very much a bold Cowboy scent but less classic western and more modern day Austin inspired by westerns. Add a subtle touch of gourmand in the background, something that Killian Wells is so good at and you have a uniquely modern Cowboy.

At first sniff this was instantly nostalgic, comforting and familiar but I couldn’t figure out why. It took a few minutes then I realized.. Burberry London for Men! My signature scent back in college in 2008, in Austin coincidentally enough. Both fragrances have prominent tobacco notes, Space Cowboy has suede and cedar while London has leather and guaiac wood. But it’s in these base notes that the similarities end. Space Cowboy opens fresher and greener. It’s more versatile, complex and changes more throughout the wear; overall a more enjoyable wearing experience (as much as I love London). Can be worn all year round as a signature scent, is unisex, mass-appealing and has character. I will be reminiscent of my years in Austin every time I wear this fragrance, which were some of the most exciting, spontaneous and adventurous times of my life. Another great job from Xyrena. Yee haw!
