You Smell So Good
I have to disagree with my esteemed predecessor, whom I otherwise hold in high regard, on a few points: Cocaine is a rush. And I try to be objective, even though the concert in Gelsenkirchen last week left a lasting impression on me. When Gucci Rush was launched (still under the patronage of the dapper Tom Ford), the legend went that it was supposed to smell like coke. Since I have only done cocaine once in my life (a long time ago, already expired. Ha.), I can't endorse that, but I still consider Rush to be a stroke of genius and I bathed in it back then.
Cocaine, however, is completely different. Not the party-friendly disco coke of the 90s, but the dirty, run-down, pain-threshold-reaching coke, soaked with blood, tears, and sweat. The honest coke.
The top note is quite piercing... just as one would imagine when taking a hit. It is accompanied by this sweaty leather note, which I find somewhat sexy, similar to Cuir Intense.
The bolivian marching powder (quote from American Psycho) remains a theme throughout, albeit somewhat soapy. One should keep in mind that this little potion comes in a quality presentation for 20 euros, and not like a Roja Dove or Xerjoff costing as much as a small car. Unfortunately, I don't find any gasoline. I had hoped for a bit of vintage Fahrenheit, but nada.
The sillage is not great, and the longevity is mediocre. It becomes quite skin-like and tame after an hour, creamy-floral, and the soap turns more into a creamy soap-wash lotion. But the leather remains. Leather and real feelings.
While I could live without cocaine, I celebrate the rather successful composition and the fact that Lindemann and Co. did not bring the crowd-pleaser to market that I feared, but rather bottled the new German hardness.

Dein Kommentar hat zwei Fehler:
#1 Hätten Sie damit ausschließlich Geld machen wollen, hätten sie einen Duft kreieren lassen der kompatibel für Alle ist. Ich sehe es eher als Marketing-Gag, bei dem am Ende die 0 steht.
#2 Rammstein will das System bekämpfen? Seit?
Provozieren? Schockieren? Sehr gerne.
Das System bekämpfen wollten sie noch nie, und die Aussage hat Flake (für sich selbst) eher scherzhaft gemeint. Sie sehen sich nur nicht als Teil, sondern nutzen das System für sich
Warum die Band sowas nötig hat, wenn sie ja eigtl. provozieren und nicht gefallen will? Tja, sie wollen ja das System bekämpfen, indem sie ihm das Geld wegnehmen. Dann können die Fans jetzt kaufkräftig daran mitwirken ;-)
