Sparflämmchen
It was February 28, 1996, at the Bochum Zeche when I saw Rammstein live for the first time. Before that, I had gotten the CD "Herzeleid" and enjoyed the provocative show with flamethrowers and artistic sperm, which caused quite a stir in the packed hall. Seeing Rammstein in such an intimate atmosphere would no longer be possible today. Shortly thereafter, they filled larger concert halls, and then entire football stadiums - worldwide.
At some point, I didn't need to have every Rammstein album anymore, and the concerts no longer captivated me, but I still had great sympathy for the band, which continued to provoke and, despite their mega-success, didn't take themselves too seriously. I consider the track "Deutschland" with its extremely expensive video to be one of the best by Rammstein, and I was almost very tempted last week to buy their new fragrance at Rossmann blindly when it was announced, as there was no tester yet. Oh - I would have liked to be the first to write a comment about it, but the risk was just too great for me.
Today I know that I was wise to hold back, as the disappointment over the sunk €20 would have been immense. I could now ramble on for lines about how heroin smells and what olfactory differences exist between cocaine from Medellin or Cali or another region, but I admit that I unfortunately (no - thankfully) have no practical experience with that. And the gasoline used here resembles more of a washing gasoline, not octane-containing fuel. No, charred wood or fire also plays no role in this fragrance, not even patchouli. At the very beginning, a bit of leather peeks through, but soon after, this cocaine resembles cheap rose soap with a bit of powder, squeaky clean and incredibly boring.
If I were a 16-year-old female fan, this watered-down little water might appeal to me, but as it stands, I must unfortunately judge that cocaine is a pathetic attempt to live up to Rammstein's image. Then either, as already suggested here, take the niche route and really offer something against the grain with all the consequences that fits the theme, even if it would have to be offered a bit more expensively and exclusively, but would certainly find satisfied buyers, or just end up with a bloody nose.
I would have really liked to rate cocaine much higher out of respect for Rammstein. But who am I trying to fool? Myself? You?
Rammstein and/or their manager were unfortunately poorly advised, but maybe the cash registers will still ring. Just not with me!

Still... For a quick run to Netto and to smell nice for a bit... Yeah... That works.
