Fat Electrician

2009
A creamy, smoky vetiver wrapped in vanilla warmth — the most universally praised fragrance in ELDO's catalog. Fat Electrician takes the earthy rootiness of vetiver and softens it with cream and myrrh, creating something both grounded and luxurious. The silly name is the best possible disguise for a genuinely refined composition.
