Nitroglyzerin Rammstein 2024

So, first of all, I would like to request a name change.
Dat DIngens here has little to do with explosives, bang-boom-bang, smoke and so on, more with citrus overkill.
Ergo, please tilt the "N" 90 degrees to the right and make it a "Z".

Of course, it was once again the Rossmann advertisement that drew my attention to this Rammstein. And the color of the bottle looked quite delicious.
May I take this opportunity to remark how nasty it is to have one Rossmann store in the immediate vicinity of your workplace and another one even closer to home? The temptation is great.
By the way, it's a 15-minute walk in between.

So off to the Rossmann office.
To get to Nitro, I first had to chase away a pack of male teenagers who were trying out the more typical teen boy fragrances, Adidas, Tom T. and so.....
Nitro, complete with squeaky red can, was at the bottom in a rather unpopular place. No wonder, at least there are a lot of Rammsteins in the store in question.

Found, inspected, sprayed on...
Oh dear, what is that?
I can usually tell quite quickly whether I like a fragrance or not. This was definitely different.
A single spray reminded me of an accident at the drinks store. The shelf with the citrus juices has tipped over, bottles are shattered and everything smells - sour.
All in all, it's too close to the typical summer citrus drinks that are either called "Light Blue" or are launched on the market every year in a similar "form" just in time for summer. Jo, it really made my mucous membranes burn in the first few minutes. (Although I really like Light Blue, or at least the wonderful ALDI Dupe. But it only costs a fiver and invites senseless waste. Grin.)

And there I was, struggling with the scent like never before.
Buy it? Not buy? I don't know?

Don't know.

So out of the office Rossmann, towards home, stopover at Rewe, buy two bags of Nappo and a pack of nectarines - and what can I say?
Our citrus bomb has mellowed massively in the meantime. Not only that, it has developed in a really good direction.
What remains still has a good shot of citrus in it. But very pleasant, restrained, mixed with something balsamic and woody and easy to wear. In fact, the "Wakening Wood of Scandiavia", perhaps also a reduced "Waidmannsheil" with a pleasant dash of citrus.

I was grateful to have the local Rossmann.
So I went in there and bought the last bottle.

My previously used summer fragrances may forgive me.
Nitoglycerin is now number 2 in my summer favs right after Monothemes Nymphaea.
Who would have thought it - the unexpected often happens.

@ Rammstein:
I'm still waiting for "Nebel"
