État Libre d'Orange - Fat Electrician
The curse of beauty? Simply that it doesn't last. This scent imagines a once-hot Midnight Cowboy from Texas now rewiring circuits for a living in the doldrums of New Jersey. Washed up and bloated, the fat electrician tastes metal in his mouth when he dreams of his once glorious past. He occasionally sells his own body for money, but really, he does it for the company of other humans.
This is a gloriously earthy, resinous vetiver whose green tensile strength is shored up and extended by way of an almost gourmand chestnut cream note. The faint bitterness of olive leaves represent the bittersweet pleasure of nostalgia, but the warm, melted vanilla ice-cream accord in the base gives unconditional comfort. The fiery vetiver root and earthiness eventually self-soothe in this pool of vanilla and sweet myrrh. A rare masculine that gives you a whole back story when you wear it.
Notes: Haiti vetiver, chestnut cream, olive leaves, myrrh, vanilla, opoponax
