Some sound and even more smoke
Do you want to part with something........
Nope, I don't want to.
The dark turquoise-green barrel has only just moved in with me.
(Thank you, Rossmann, for the great discount!)

The barrel was supposed to stay closed until Christmas, but well, the spirit was quite willing, only the flesh was very weak....
And why does a woman buy a fragrance like this? Logo, because she can! (And the designated Rammstein women's fragrances don't really turn me on)
It's a men's fragrance? Oh screw that. I feel like a guy today.

Of course the packaging was appealing. And also the interesting fragrance description.
Because I have to go back in time a bit: I already own a fragrance with a "forest fire" character.
It's called "Oak and Berries" and is by Jenny Glow, so it's almost certainly a Jo Malone dupe. Love it. Unfortunately it's usually sold out at my online retailer of choice..

The Rammstein brew is supposed to be the next step. And delivers what it promises.

First of all, a warning:
If you want to judge this fragrance objectively, please test it immediately on your skin (you can always wash it off).
It won't work on fragrance strips or textiles, or it will give you the olfactory shock of a lifetime. This fragrance needs nothing more than interaction with the skin.

I think the outer packaging is quite successful.
My one major gripe would be that the opening of the tin is not at the top. Then you could use the little barrel later as a storage tin. For things that women need: screws, hooks, indoor pencils or simply make-up brushes (grin)
The bright turquoise Falcon has the typical cube shape of all Rammstein fragrances and sits comfortably in the hand.
In my opinion, the cap could have been a little more valuable and made of better material.

And the fragrance, the main protagonist? It's definitely quirky.
I'm always brave when testing, because - soap and water are always to hand in case of a disaster. Ergo, a new fragrance is often sprayed on different parts of the body.
In the case of petrol, a) the deco.... well, the space above the boobs, and b) the inside of the forearm.

Something came out of the bottle that smelled more like "Ashes to Ashes" than "gasoline". Or what was that Rammstein song with the kid on fire? Help me?
The opening is definitely reminiscent of the morning after a heavy campfire party. The fire has burnt down, the morning mist smells of ash, and since everyone has a thick head, it smells all the more unpleasant. Especially for the clean-up team.
But lo and behold: very slowly, the pungent smell of ash dissipates and a mineral note - wet stones? - and salt, roasted salt. There is also an underlying warmth reminiscent of peaty whiskey (Lagavulin, yeah!) and a very distant hint of resin. The initially overpowering aroma softens and becomes a companion that is still quite perceptible, but no longer dominant.

The fragrance pyramid promises a hint of sweetness through rum and birch, which I hardly notice in the practical test.
However, my gut feeling is that you can layer petrol well with something bitter-sweet - I'm going to try it out a bit and already have one or two ideas....... (The combination with the Waidmann should work great)

So if you like unusual fragrances, you should take a sniff here.

A few words about the durability:
I'm a little disappointed right now.
Sprayed both fiery fragrances on about 2 hours ago.
Left arm: gasoline. Only perceptible in traces
Right arm: The Jenny Glow thingy, which smells subtle but perceptible in every facet.

Epilogue:
I would like to point out that what I am describing here refers to a freshly opened bottle. More than 40 years of testing, buying and using fragrances have taught me that the water in the bottle can still change in the weeks following the first tentative spray. Once again, my gut feeling tells me that BENZIN will also mature in the opened bottle.

And if you find any spelling mistakes, you can keep them.

Probably not everyone's cup of tea...
Personally, I think the scent is really great...almost Super Plus
Lead-free and with a lot of octane, the fragrance comes around the corner and can inspire or deter you in the first few seconds of application.
The very smoky initial scent is quite blatant, well, it also fits if you compare it to a gasoline explosion.
After a while, however, it becomes fresher.

If you like smoky, leathery scents, you might be able to make friends with "Benzin".
I have tested and own some of the Rammstein perfumes and I have to say (please note that every nose is different) that "Benzin" has a very long shelf life.
With some other Rammstein perfumes you might have to reapply something after a while...but "Benzin" lasts a few kilometers, sorry, the allusion had to be, of course I mean hours.

In terms of packaging, 2Pilots has delivered again. The metal petrol barrel looks really good on the shelf. The bottle is also quite attractively designed. A cap like a petrol drum closes the spray head and the fuel is also very bright with a turquoise color.

Smoky, masculine, good
Even though I bought the perfume in a drugstore, it has nothing to do with the usual drugstore fragrances.

Scent: Like burning an old barrel of rum in the fireplace. After a while, it becomes milder and woodier. Overall very smoky, very rough, masculine and something special. I have already tested a few dark, smoky fragrances and I can't think of any comparable perfume.

H/S: Lasts easily 8 hours on me. Silage strong for the first 3.4 hours. After that, you and others notice it again and again.

Bottle: Ovp very good, the "pennant" on the bottle is a bit annoying.

Conclusion: For me a special, very smoky, rough and masculine fragrance. It completely won me over. Not everyone will like it. I can't understand the bad reviews. It smells absolutely nothing like chemicals, for example.

Bad rating?! New favorite!
Yes, the fragrance is tough! Anyone who likes aquatic, fresh fragrances will probably swoon when they first smell it.

In fact, my first reaction was simply "Wow!" with a slight grimace. At first, the fragrance smells very, very smoky, fiery and alcoholic.

But after just a few minutes, the fragrance changes its entire image, becoming fresher and pleasantly woody. I can smell all of the fragrance notes described above.

The fragrance is 100% pure masculinity. It lasts longer than average for me. In my opinion, the design of the bottle is just as cool as the RRP.

Definitely one of the best fragrances from Rammstein! I think the bottle, uniqueness, durability, high quality & fragrance notes for the price are outstanding. I don't regret buying it. On the contrary, I couldn't be happier that I "dared" to buy it (even without testing it) despite the reviews.

Anyone who likes smoky or slightly harder fragrances will be delighted.

On the twelve
I'm not really a fan of smoky fragrances. But since I collect all Rammstein fragrances, I couldn't pass up Benzin. The OVP alone compelled me to pick it up.
The fragrance is a smoke bomb, but it is very pleasant right from the start, despite its strength. After a few minutes you are no longer overwhelmed. And when the freshness is added after a while, this fragrance is really fun. The longevity and sillage are really very good. The bottle also fits in well with the other Rammstein fragrances and has the usual cube shape.
One more thing as a follow-up. I believe that the rating here is related to the current coverage of the band and their singer. I think that's a shame, because I think the two should be kept separate. But maybe I'm wrong and the scent really isn't well received. In that case, ashes to ashes on my head.

Drydown on paper I find it somewhat hinting at Mancera's Red Tobacco actually. Not as spicy, but still in the ballpark

To be honest, neither the scent nor the chemical structure on the bottle have anything to do with gasoline. More cold smoke
