Fat Electrician Etat Libre d'Orange 2009

What smells aromatic, resinous, sweet, creamy, delicious and cozy? Correct answer: an overweight electrician. Sounds strange, but it is due to the marketing or humor of ELdO, who must have laughed heartily at the idea of calling the fragrance Fat Electrician described here. Because the first associations with the name of the fragrance, which generate rather crude olfactory fantasies, confirms the perfume not at all.

But let's start at the beginning. Namely, the fragrance starts with the only note that, for me, connects to the eponymous electrician: The repeatedly described rubber note. This is initially very dominant and eccentric in the opening, in the background is already the creamy sweetness, which is even more evident in the later course. The rubber note lasts only about 10 minutes, which I find quite good - because it is already own. The opening then gives way to a mixture of creamy, candied sweetness, aromatic, almost smoky vetiver and a spicy-woody base that just harmonizes great and for me brings an insane cuddle factor with it. For me, an idea of fresh lime also resonates throughout the fragrance, this note reminds me distantly of the Capirinha accord of Guerlain's Homme EDP, but only plays second or even third fiddle here. Still, this manages to spice up Fat Electrician a bit and give it a sour-fruity touch.

All in all, I'm just really smitten with this fragrance. Sure, the sillage is not the madness, but I find that with more eccentric fragrances also not so bad, he remains thereby well wearable in everyday life. And about the durability I can not complain. So it remains only to say: Chapeau Monsieur Maisondieu for this great creation!
