Old Sparky
When Thomas Edison received the basic patent number 223898 on January 27, 1880, he was by no means the first developer of the light bulb. As early as the beginning of the nineteenth century, the first versions of an incandescent lamp were presented, but all variants failed due to burn time or the problem of energy supply. Edison's key product was light bulbs equipped with high-resistance filaments; with high voltage for high-resistance consumers, electrical energy could now be easily transported, making an electricity supply network technically feasible. In American history, he is regarded as the symbol of pioneering spirit, who flipped the switch and illuminated Wall Street at night for the first time, like a magician deciding over life and death.
Edison's great competitor was the inventor and industrialist George Westinghouse, who developed alternating current technology, leading to a bitter confrontation with the wounded Edison and his direct current system. As Edison lost ground in the competition, he began to emphasize the advantage of his system: safety. He spread stories about how deadly alternating current is with its high voltage, instilling fear in people. Fear of dying from an electric shock. A man who stumbled drunkenly against a generator in a New York power plant died from such a shock. This case drew attention in political circles, as there was a search for a new, especially more humane execution method for the execution of serious criminals. A method that should be painless and eliminate the complications caused by hanging executions. A commission commissioned Thomas Edison - the king of the electrical age - to construct an appropriate apparatus.
On August 6, 1890, the condemned William Kemmler took a seat on a heavy and bulky chair. His last words are supposedly recorded as "Be thorough, I’m in no hurry, and please tighten the straps again."
The cynical nickname of the chair: Old Sparky - old spark.
Froggy Frog's "Electric Chair" smells directly after spraying like smoked ham. Delicious, absolutely delicious. My mouth almost waters. I wouldn't have suspected that. But only for 3 seconds, then the whole fun turns, it smokes, smells burnt. By the end of the first minute, my nose no longer wants to sniff, refuses to serve me, lets the protective shutter down, as it bites in the nasal septum, like inhaled smoke during a major fire, during a failed chemistry experiment in school, or is it the smell that lingered in the air during Kemmler's first failed execution attempt?
Cable fire comes through clearly, but not as friendly embedded as in Fat Electrician by Etat Libre d'Orange, where it also briefly shows itself at the beginning. Here it feels more authentic. Gunpowder associations also reveal themselves. Hints of leather penetrate the gunpowder-saturated air and involuntarily evoke thoughts of strapped leather straps. The smoked ham is still present, but now it holds back more discreetly in the background and feels metallic, but not appetizing.
Further significant scent developments are absent, but it becomes somewhat more pleasant over time, especially more bearable. The very decent sillage retreats towards the end of the first hour. Electric Chair has endurance; one is exposed to it for at least a good eight hours. Those who spray it on their clothes have lost; it clings persistently overnight. Froggy Frog at least doesn’t take it completely to the extreme; I think it could have been much harsher (nausea and gag reflexes were at least absent); AB by Blood Concept or the famous Sécrétions Magnifiques should not go unmentioned in this context. It is certainly controversial. Nevertheless, I appreciate the creative idea behind this fragrance or the entire line. But do you want to wear it? Halloween is just around the corner, maybe for Carnival, and for people with very quirky humor, this unusual scent is certainly just right. But there are also people who buy Andy Warhol's monochrome screen print composition "Electric Chair" for a lot of money, a lot of money, if it matches the color of their living room curtains.
I thank Achilles for the opportunity to test!
