Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
Opens with a resinous jolt — elemi's sharp, citrusy-piney edge cutting through the dense smoke of myrrh before vetiver pulls everything into dark, earthy territory. The heart settles into something warmer and stranger: ylang-ylang adds a faintly rubbery floral note that somehow works, kept grounded by the vetiver's rootedness. The dry-down is where it earns its name — vanilla and musk turn the whole thing into a slow, slightly industrial sweetness, low and close to the skin with modest sillage. — Best in cold weather, on someone who dresses with intention and doesn't need to fill a room.
Opens with a sharp, peppery bite from the pink pepper that quickly bleeds into smoky incense — not church-heavy, more like embers cooling in cedar-lined air. The heart settles into a dry, rooty vetiver that anchors everything without going muddy. Projection is moderate and intentional; it doesn't announce itself across a room. The dry-down turns quietly skin-warm through musk and ambergris, leaving a faintly saline, resinous trail that lasts without clinging aggressively — an unhurried, deliberate finish. — Cold-weather evenings, confident minimalists who want presence without performance.
How they overlap
Fat Electrician and Remarkable People share 2 notes (vetiver, musk). The same note name doesn't always mean the same scent — different houses use different vanillas, different woods, different musks — but a multi-note shared spine usually does indicate genuinely-comparable wear character. The remaining notes (4 unique to Fat Electrician, 4 unique to Remarkable People) are where the divergence happens.
The buying decision
Original-bottle pricing is essentially identical ($185 vs $185), so the choice rarely comes down to upfront cost. Both wear best across the same fall/winter — they're interchangeable on weather fit.
