A Bit of Noise and Even More Smoke
Do you want to part with something........
No, I don't want to..
The dark turquoise-green bottle has only just moved in with me.
(Thank you, Rossmann, for the great discount!)
Actually, the little barrel was supposed to stay closed until Christmas, but well, the spirit was indeed willing, only the flesh was seeeeeery weak....
And why does a woman actually buy such a scent? Of course, because she can! (And the designated Rammstein women's fragrances don't really excite me)
It's a men's fragrance? Oh sh... forget it. Today I feel like a guy.
Of course, the packaging was enticing. And also the interesting scent description.
I have to go back a bit into the past: I already own a fragrance with "forest fire character".
It's called "Oak and Berries", is from Jenny Glow, and is thus most likely a Jo Malone dupe. Love it. Unfortunately, it's usually sold out at my online dealer of choice..
The Rammstein brew is supposed to be the next level. And it delivers on its promise.
First of all, the warning:
If you want to judge this fragrance objectively, please test it immediately on the skin (you can always wash it off).
It doesn't work on scent strips or fabric, or it will give you the olfactory shock of your life. This scent needs nothing more than interaction with the skin.
I find the outer packaging quite successful.
My nitpicking at a high level would be that the opening of the can is not on the top. Then you could still use the barrel later as a storage container. For things that women need: screws, hooks, room pencils, or just makeup brushes (grin)
The bright turquoise blue falcon has the typical cube shape of all Rammstein fragrances and fits well in the hand.
In my opinion, the closure could have been a bit more valuable and made of better material.
And the scent, the main actor? Is definitely quirky.
I am always brave when testing because - water and soap are always at hand in case of a super disaster.. Therefore, a new fragrance is gladly sprayed on various body parts.
For gasoline, a) the decoration.... well, the area above the boobs, and b) the inside of the forearm.
From the bottle came something that smelled more like "Ashes to Ashes" than "Gasoline". Or what was the name of the Rammstein song with the igniting child? Help me?
The opening definitely reminds me of the morning after a heavy campfire party. The fire has burned down, in the morning mist it smells like ash, and since everyone has a thick head, it smells even more unpleasant. Especially for the cleanup crew.
But look: Very slowly, the penetrating ash smell fades, a mineral note comes - wet stones? - and salt, roasted salt. Along with a subtle warmth that reminds of peaty whiskey (Lagavulin, yeah!) and very faintly of resin. The initially overpowering scent softens and becomes a quite noticeable, but no longer dominant companion.
The fragrance pyramid promises a hint of sweetness through rum and birch, which I hardly perceive in the practical test.
But my gut feeling tells me that gasoline can be nicely layered with something bittersweet - I will experiment a bit and already have one or two ideas....... (The combo with the Waidmann should work great)
So, anyone looking for unusual fragrances should give this a sniff.
A few words about longevity:
I'm a bit disappointed.
Both fiery scents were sprayed on about 2 hours ago.
Left arm: Gasoline. Only perceivable in traces
Right arm: The Jenny Glow thing, which smells subtly but is well noticeable with every facet.
Postscript:
I would like to point out that what I describe here refers to a freshly opened bottle. More than 40 years of testing, buying, and using fragrances have taught me that the liquid in the bottle can indeed change in the weeks following the first tentative spray. Once again, my gut feeling tells me that even GASOLINE will mature in the opened bottle.
And anyone who finds typos can keep them.
