  Impossible not to fall in love with a fragrance like this, possessing such gentleness and softness alongside a distinct, avant-garde, and unique character that I judge to be masculine. The two sides of the coin balanced with skill and taste. It is energising from the start, ideal for the morning and for smelling good all day. Floral at the beginning, without any harshness, then evolving into green and soapy notes with a ‘rare’ note in a good sense: not exactly metallic, it recalls a computer or television turned on. It wraps you in a neat cloud, a pure clean smell, with that personal touch of hot circuits; it sounds odd, but the combination is brilliant. Longevity is excellent (lasts all day), the projection is designed not to be intrusive, rather soft-moderate; otherwise, the spell is broken. Rating: 9.5/10.

  How interesting that scent of hot circuits you mention, Bofifa. I smell something similar in Kouros: audio 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.

  I wonder what the difference is between Odeur 71 and Odeur 53 (I’m alternating them). Basically, it’s the same fragrance, but the 53 lingers on that peculiar ‘mineral sand and truck oil’ aroma, whereas the 71 dries down sooner to a warm, floral, and woody base without losing the touch of ‘hot circuits’. The curious thing is that when the 71 dries and stops evolving, it smells very much like CK One by Calvin Klein: both conjure 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 recalls bodily secretions like saliva or fresh sweat.

  Many thanks for the Bofifa sample! Another scent to test. I read reviews, but with so much confusion, I gave up reading and jumped into the adventure. It’s risky, like going out without insurance: so much olfactory recklessness can’t be good… or can it. It enters without warning, with a chaos of burnt wires, aldehydic electricity, some woody incense, and a spicy kick. A sensation 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 smell. I tried it again this afternoon: there it is! I’ve had it before, my first thermal fax machine. Those 30 metres 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 musks and soaps up until it becomes classic. It takes me to the offices of a Japanese multinational: glass elevators, minimalism, cleanliness, white light, everything in its place, no chaos, cutting-edge screens, and… nobody. Fully automated, it is the future. A masculine aroma, moderate trail, and about 6 hours on the skin. Nothing overwhelming; if it adores your skin and that floral combination persists, it’s ideal for a man who wants to look neat in the office. Perfect for IT professionals. Best applied before going out to avoid that initial scorched sensation. For mid-season and more daytime wear. A sum of 71 ingredients combining nature and technology for an original floral. By the way, did you know that Pokémon number 71 is Victreebel? A first-generation plant that wraps its 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 leaves me absolutely speechless: it blends facets I adore that shatter all expectations of a perfume. They aim to impress and succeed. According to them, it combines natural and inorganic scents to create an ‘anti-perfume’: old lightbulb dust, photocopier toner, hot metal… It leaves me in awe, like opening a CPU in the middle of summer, scorching hot, smelling of metal and plastic, yet topped with a floral and green fragrance. At first and in the middle notes, it smells exactly like that. It also reminds me of Wall-E’s bride, Eva: white, pure, modern, nature-loving, an intelligent robot that flaunts her metallic essence but adores natural smells. I even see it as the perfume for future humans, a symbiosis between nature and technology. In the final phase, bamboo, fir, and flowers take the lead, 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 all the time. I invite you to try it as an experience. It captivates because of this perfect symbiosis of components that, separately, don’t seem to combine but create something magnificent and unique.
