  That interesting scent of hot circuits you mentioned, Bofifa, reminds me of something similar in Kouros: sound equipment running in a recording studio before the digital age, that characteristic smell of TVs, video players, blank tapes… I’m actually negotiating to buy a bottle of this Odeur 71 and another of Odeur 53.

  It’s impossible not to fall in love with a fragrance like this, which balances such gentleness and softness with a bold, avant-garde, and unique character that I consider masculine. Two sides of the coin perfectly balanced with skill and taste. It’s energizing from the start, ideal for the morning and to smell great all day. Floral at the beginning without being loud, then evolving into green and soapy notes with a ‘quirky’ note in a good way: not exactly metallic, it reminds me of a computer or TV turned on. It wraps you in a neat cloud, pure clean scent, with that personal touch of hot circuits; it sounds strange, but the combination is amazing. Longevity is excellent (lasts all day), projection is designed to be non-intrusive, rather soft-to-moderate; otherwise, the spell is broken. Rating: 9.5/10.

  I wonder what the difference is between Odeur 71 and Odeur 53 (I’m alternating between them). Basically, it’s the same fragrance, but the 53 lingers on that peculiar ‘mineral sand and truck oil’ aroma, while the 71 dries down faster to a warm, floral, and woody base without losing the ‘hot circuits’ touch. The curious thing is that when the 71 dries out and stops evolving, it smells a lot like Calvin Klein’s CK Be: both create the same image in my head, a bouquet of dried flowers. The 71 is a strange, synthetic, and disconcerting cologne, but underneath lies a classic EDT, unisex, with decent longevity. It happens to its sister, the 53: intimate and neat perfumes, but with a strong sexual charge that reminds you of bodily secretions like saliva or fresh sweat.

  Thank you so much for the Bofifa sample! Another scent to try. I read reviews, but with so much confusion, I gave up and jumped into the adventure. It’s risky, like going out without insurance: so much olfactory chaos can’t be good… or can it. It strikes without warning, with a chaos of burnt wires, aldehydic electricity, some woody incense, and a spicy kick. A feeling of urgency, adrenaline, tension, a short circuit! Goodbye to my old PC, stereo, and plasma TV; now it’s time to deal with the power company. Will they gift me a tablet for the mess? Then the tone drops and settles into a strange but familiar scent. I’ll try it again this afternoon: there it is! I had it long ago, my first thermal fax machine. Those 30 meters of hot paper that, after 5 years, you discover the ink has vanished by magic. Yellowed, translucent sheets that fall silent forever. Today I used less, and it changed everything: after the short circuit, there’s something ozonic. Clean, fresh, sweet, and dry. The smoky-woody touch persists, but a chilly trio of hyacinths, lilies, and bamboo breaks through and floods my senses. A sour, green floral with metallic notes that becomes soapy and classic. It takes me to a Japanese multinational’s offices: glass elevators, minimalism, cleanliness, white light, everything in its place, no chaos, cutting-edge screens, and… nobody. Fully automated, it’s the future. A masculine aroma, moderate sillage, and about 6 hours on the skin. Nothing overwhelming; if it loves your skin and that floral combination lingers, it’s ideal for a man who wants to look neat in the office. Perfect for IT guys. Best applied before heading out to avoid that initial scorched note. Good for midday and warmer weather. A sum of 71 ingredients combining nature and technology for an original floral. By the way, did you know Pokemon #71 is Victreebel? A first-generation plant that wraps victims in a whirlwind of bamboo leaves, attracts with its sweet hyacinth scent, and absorbs electromagnetic energy to use against the enemy. Beware of the…

  Odeur 71 has me absolutely hooked: it blends facets I love that completely break with what we expect from a perfume. They aim to shock and they succeed. According to them, it mixes natural and inorganic scents to create an ‘anti-perfume’: old lightbulb dust, photocopier toner, hot metal… It leaves me speechless, like opening a CPU in the middle of summer—scorching hot, smelling of metal and plastic, topped with a floral and green fragrance. At first and in the mid-notes, it smells exactly like that. It also reminds me of Wall-E’s bride, Eva: white, pure, modern, and nature-loving, an intelligent robot that flaunts her metallic essence but adores natural scents. I even see it as the perfume of future humans, a symbiosis between nature and technology. In the final phase, bamboo, fir, and flowers take over, but they never lose that touch of wires that, incredibly, doesn’t smell burnt but fresh and icy. The strangest thing is that a hot electronic scent stays fresh the whole time. I invite you to try it as an experience. It’s addictive thanks to this perfect symbiosis of components that, separately, don’t seem to combine but create something magnificent and unique.
