What does Fat Electrician smell like?

Elemi and black pepper give the opening a peppery edge, while cedarwood and vetiver build a woody, earthy heart. In the base, opoponax, myrrh and vanilla absolute turn it creamy and sweet. The overall impression is a woody resin, tempered by green and smoky tones, with a slightly synthetic feel.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, then spring, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, with some votes for business and evening. Most read it as masculine, though some call it feminine. Le Couvent Valparaiso and Montblanc Black Meisterstück have a close profile.
