Burnt guitar case
At the beginning dry wood is soaked with a strict juniper spirit and ignited with the help of coal briquettes. The scent immediately turns to the biting, while I still perceive it as dusty or rubbery. This note is very blatant and initially displaces all other aromas before mingling with sage tea, lemon and nutmeg. This makes the perfume very woody-musty. I'm thinking very old oak with furniture polish here; maybe leather too. But the wood stays burnt on for a long time, as if the fire has already gone out and a smoky note emerges. Later, herbs and iris join in; the scent softens and becomes sweet. A pleasant cedar finally rounds out the overall picture. From then on, the wood has a nice spicy effect, not to say oily.
I find almost nothing to like about Electric Wood's long opening, which is complicated and unpleasant for me. It's too extreme and off-putting. However, the fragrance balances itself out, so that it can be enjoyed after some time, albeit with restrictions.
