My Car Needs to Go to the Workshop…
… upon arrival, I got out of the car and walked into the workshop. There was only one person there, and he was lying under a car. I spoke to him. A man in his mid-thirties slid out from under the vehicle. He stood up, and despite being in a smeared overall, he somehow gave off the impression of a gentleman. I was surprised by the rose that was stuck in the zipper of his jumpsuit. He looked at me and said, my daughter thinks it's beautiful and laughed loudly. He seemed very serious, which made him even more likeable.

When applying this fragrance, the first thing that hits the nose is a citrusy metallic fresh scent, underlined by a sharpness. This is followed by something fruity and floral. The leather gives this perfume a slightly dirty masculine twist, making it feel more mature. There’s also something resinous, and the musk makes it dry. What remains throughout, sometimes stronger and sometimes weaker, is the citrusy freshness.

The longevity and sillage are good, and I can't quite understand the negative review.

Here we have a men’s fragrance that has a certain gentleman vibe. Due to its mature and masculine twist, I see it being less suited for women and young guys. I would say from around 25 years and up, it’s a lovely scent. As an all-rounder, it can be worn throughout the year. It’s suitable for daytime in the office, in the workshop, at lunch, while shopping, or even during sports, as well as in the evening at the pub, in the club, at a party, or during dinner. It’s not an extremely strong fragrance, but rather one that you notice without being overwhelmed. What it doesn’t have, and what you might expect with this name, is something oily, greasy, or fatty.

Anyone who enjoys a citrusy metallic fresh sharp fruity floral resinous dry dirty masculine leather scent that isn’t too overpowering should take a closer look at this one.

Solar Energy Body-Conscious
Rammstein and provocation were once.
Today, their fragrance line has become quite mainstream, the boundaries of disturbing have long been reached.
All the more I was surprised by the initial hints here in the forum about the scent, the word controversial appeared almost like an advertising banner.

With all the lovely ingredients, how can it be so polarizing?
Even the name, aside from the German KRRRR and FFFFF according to Rammstein pronunciation, seems quite suitable for everyday use.
And, oh wonder, it is.

The bottle has always been designed in harmony with the line, the annoying plastic cap as well.
But you get a decent spray of the juice when pressing down.

Hiss!

I would like to continue writing in Fraktur now, but that pun has been thoroughly worn out.

So, where is the scent?

I initially receive a rather alcoholically neutral opening, as if the formula first needs to chemically react with my skin.

Then, very very faintly, the first citrus notes emerge.

At the latest at this point, I realize that solar energy has been transformed into liquid fuel.
Because it smells, who would be surprised, quite Iberian, sun-drenched citrus, but not like cleaning products.
(Hmm, maybe the next gag of the brand. RRRein!)

It is a balanced mix of the actually listed citrus fruits, no more, no less.
The ginger adds that nice sharpness.

Then a long, long pause in development.

About a good half hour later, a creamy musk makes its presence known, reminding me of the 1970s creations from Jovan.
Somewhat dull, slightly sweaty, body-warm with a skin note of grime.

Ah yes, the transformation of solar energy into citrus power, then into body-digested calories and finally into body warmth works out.
But I suspect that good old Till doesn't want to bombard us with biophysical refrains here.

What disappoints me a bit, because it is well done and unfortunately super quietly dosed, is the combination of leather notes and blackcurrant.
This could potentially become the next big hit with further development; we’ve had raspberry and cherry in abundance already.

This sour fruity note fits very well with the leather, which is presumably inspired by the fashionable molecules of patchouli and labdanum.
Akigalawood?
Who knows!

The rose geranium is definitely present as an enhancement, but is hardly discernible due to the renewed freshness of neroli.
Floral for sure, but more as an overall concept.

The aforementioned leather note is designed to be slightly woody and rounded; the good old Iso-E-Super is probably doing a good job.
Sounds fitting here for the pump, who would have thought.

Fortunately, I notice very little amber, otherwise the scent would have veered into a rather sweet direction.
It serves as a further cushioning of the woodiness.

Yep, that’s about it.
The main progression will be a interplay of physical musk and fairly fresh citrus notes with a floral undertone.
The quiet counterpoint, this lovely combo of leather and blackcurrant, is there, but more in the background. A pity at this point.
Only towards the end does the beautiful side of the base reveal itself.
And yes, Akigalawood is, well interpreted, quite pleasant. This molecule should have been used.

As for the H/S, the scent remains detectable for a long time, a good eight hours. The scent aura, however, is quite close to the body after a short time.

So, I am basically satisfied with this newcomer, which is probably also the intention of the nose behind it.
No headaches, no flashy number, just smelling fresh and body-conscious.

I am curious when the brand will release leather straps.
That would lure me in blind!

Hehehe with a German Ä.

Does it really polarize?
Well-crafted 1970s musk with zesty citrus notes.
Leather and blackcurrant come through.
Warm on the skin.

The gentleman likes dark floral musk with soft citrus, a hint of leather adds depth. Lovely!

The reviews are a joke. You can't tell the difference between the scent and the people again. Such a shame.

a modern interpretation of Russian Leather. Bergamot/citrus in the foreground - then complemented by leather and a hint of incense.

Got a cold? Then you need some fuel! A ginger-blackcurrant-lemon shot.

Floral, spicy. The bottle and name don't match. But it's a very nice scent. Floral, citrus notes rounded off with spice.

Opening is spicy and citrusy.
Gradually, a slightly leathery floral note emerges.
Overall, in my opinion,
it's very Iso E Super heavy.

Interesting blend of fresh citrus and warm darkness. Nitroglycerin in the foreground is shaded by cocaine gold.

Lemon-leather with a hint of incense, becoming softer over time, definitely worth the price.
