ETAT LIBRE D ORANGE Fet Electrician Eau de Parfum Spray 100 ml

First class vetiver based cologne and really lasts

Etat Libre d’Orange has a knack for the unconventional, and Fat Electrician is no exception. With a name that immediately raises eyebrows, one might expect something brash, borderline unwearable... but what you actually get is one of the most unique, yet surprisingly versatile, vetiver fragrances out there.At its core, Fat Electrician is a study in contrasts. The “fat” side is a smooth, creamy vetiver: its usual dry, rooty character rounded out by a warm, almost milky quality. This isn’t the sharp, smoky vetiver of Guerlain or the mineral-drenched (and dry) type found in Terre d’Hermès. Instead, it leans into a plush, almost gourmand territory thanks to an unexpected roasted chestnut accord.And that’s where the “electrician” side kicks in. That chestnut note, with its warm, nutty depth, carries a subtle edge of something charred/slightly burnt. If you’ve ever worked with soldering irons or caught a whiff of burnt electrical wiring, you might recognize the effect. It’s not overpowering, but it’s there lingering just enough to add intrigue without making the scent feel industrial.This clever balance between cozy and offbeat makes Fat Electrician one of ELDO’s most wearable offerings. It’s still unconventional, but in a way that feels refined rather than deliberately provocative. Performance is solid, with the creamy vetiver and chestnut combo leaving a lasting impression.In a lineup filled with boundary-pushing concepts (I'd say avantgarde for 2009, when it was launched), Fat Electrician stands out as one of ELDO’s best. It is unusual but not daring, proof that originality doesn’t have to come at the expense of wearability.Not to forget, fantastic price when found at discounters!
