Rosenrot oh Rosenrot
Deep wells must be dug
If you want clear water
Rosenrot oh Rosenrot
Deep waters are not still

And nothing about this scent is calm at all.

The packaging looks elegant in black and pink. The heavy, square glass bottle sits on black foam, I must admit I would have preferred to feel high-quality velvet here, but one must also consider that this is a fragrance from the more affordable price range.
The deep red color of the glass appears mystical, shining in the backlight, fitting with the packaging. Decorated at the front with the golden Rammstein logo, a rose is embossed in black on the back. The spray head is surrounded by quite sharp thorns, and the black cap has a studded texture.

Even though I like it, the bottle is a bit over the top, but who is surprised by that with a band like Rammstein. After Kokain, Kokain Intense, White Ash, and Black Ash, this is now the fifth perfume release from the iconic German metal band that loves to provoke.

And just like with the predecessors, the concept works perfectly with Rosenrot. You get hit with a lush rose scent that almost takes your breath away. One spray is enough for the first go; you have to gently ease into the others. Alongside the rose is a somewhat stubborn metallic accord, and the bitterness of a pomelo peel, which keeps the scent from drifting into the kitschy. From the very beginning, the incense is present, and anyone familiar with the corresponding music video will recognize the red thread and the connection between the rose and the clerical incense.

I cannot relate to comparisons with Juliette has a Gun’s Lady Vengeance, as the latter is stored in my memory with a lavender freshness and a scent reminiscent of a Lush bath bomb.
I would rather award Rosenrot the title of “the little sister of Portrait of a Lady.” The Lady is a bit tamer, more elegant, more mature, and also more natural. An aristocrat in a knee-length, ladylike ensemble, maintaining etiquette. Rosenrot comes across as somewhat artificial, not more intense, but louder; she wears black, smudged kohl, a studded choker, and cares neither for the dress code nor for conventions. Nevertheless, both cannot deny their common parents, Mother Rose and Father Frank(incense).

In summary, Rosenrot presents itself as a lush-loud, incense-tinged rose scent without much chi-chi, neither too sweet nor too strawflower-like, which fits wonderfully into the cold season and can easily hold its own against higher-priced counterparts.

From Metal Music and Cartoons
Yes folks, it's true. We have the strangest year ever - no wonder I'm writing a comment about a Rammstein fragrance ;-)
When the bottle was shown among the new releases, I was immediately extremely triggered.
This color, this name, this shape, the spikes, and then also Rammstein.

Those were the days back then with black-dyed hair, white powder, eyeliner up to the hairline, and always this dark, brutal music. Back then at Dark Wave parties and some basement raves where you would ponder life and society at around 3 AM with red eyes to Depeche Mode, Rammstein, Placebo, etc. You felt above it all - the only one understanding the system....damn world. I won't bow to it!!!

The next day, you would watch Chip & Dale and the Gummy Bears to sober up, and everything would be fine again.

Today I'm blonde, sometimes wear pink lip balm, and occasionally watch cooking shows.
Times change.
But the eyeliner has stayed, my preference for metal and rock too, and I love Pennywise.
In general, I love horror clowns....what kind of people are afraid of them...she said, knowing that she herself is afraid of dragonflies...oh well.

What does all this have to do with the fragrance....NOTHING! I was just bored....although....
actually, it all has exactly 100% to do with the fragrance.
Because that's how I feel when I wear it.

I feel daring at first: bam - spikes on the bottle, then the black ornaments on the dark red, this wicked, metallic rose - there it is again: that feeling of strength and the delusion of being invulnerable. Zip up the leather jacket and off we go!

This attitude really lasts for hours until, yes, until the soft dry down comes.
Then I feel all warm and fuzzy inside, almost sentimental.
How beautiful life can be, all soft and cozy.
Like the wool blanket back when watching Darkwing Duck.

Nice - Till Lindemann and his boys are probably just like that and secretly watch cartoons :-)
Those who act so evil on the outside are often like that :-)

At this point, a few facts for the record:

The longevity is extremely good, the sillage is not to be underestimated, the bottle is made of high quality, so fans of a good price/performance ratio will get their money's worth here.
The fragrance itself is also very valuable - the niche hit among drugstore scents
The shadow that flutters through the night
The villain who later dares to be tender.

The rose in it smells very elegant, thankfully not a potpourri rose.
The scent is slightly synthetic.
No floral overkill, great smoky note, far from church.
The base is soft, but not that 0815 vanilla-musk combo.
All in all, it's a successful one - the good one :-)

If you can read this, great:
You didn't click away after the first lines with the motto:
what the hell is this almost 40-year-old woman writing here??
I like it.

I just wanted to describe to you what comes to my mind.
There's always a lot - there's always a lot going on in my head ;-)

Some things just never change:

So it was and so it will always be
She wants it and so it is customary
What she wants, she gets

Hey cool, if that's the case, I'll finally get a dog soon.
So I have to hurry and buy some treats.
If I'm lucky, Rammstein is just on the radio.
Unfortunately, I don't have any CDs left from back then

In that sense: Bye with a V!!!!

The Rose Rammed into Steel
The bottle follows the previous line, presenting itself with a design akin to a niche brand. This time with an elegant thorn facelift - I like it.

The perfume smells ultimately concentrated with rose - it almost reminds me again of the coca leaf that was transformed into cocaine for the first scent. Added to this is a metallic note that spontaneously makes me think of red blood cells. Not too sweet and a kind of floral rose essence. Tending towards a progressive-urban women's fragrance, which is equally wearable by open-minded men.
Rose scent for men... yes - that works.

Longevity - Jesus!!... after 48 hours I longed for my otherwise daily shower. So: experiment aborted... the scent was still distinctly noticeable after 2 days.

Result:

- should be in the niche and cost much more.

- no merch, no twin. Rammstein composes itself and thinks very creatively and deeply about olfactory concepts. Fragrance experience, concept name, design are a harmonious unit. One expects that the scent will hurt a little - and it does. Although Rosenrot (for me) smells nicer than cocaine.

- the scent makes no claim to excite the masses. But it will find people who will fall for this scent and love it (like me, for example).

- I would compare the scent strength to an unrefined rose vine jackhammer. Man, it hits hard.

I will put 2 more in the cellar. Who knows how long it will be available.

You Smell So Good
You smell so good
You smell so good
I’m following you
You smell so good
I find you so good, so good
I’m on your trail
You smell so good
I’ll have you soon

Yes, I think of the song by Rammstein every time I wear this fragrance - because it’s just incredibly good. Really - if I could keep only 3 fragrances, this one would definitely be among them. And it’s also one of my cheapest fragrances - which I absolutely don’t understand given its performance.

I don’t even know how I came across this scent. I’m an absolute “bottle fool” - I usually buy perfumes when I’m either completely sure that I love the scent, or when I’m once again a victim of packaging and find the bottle beautiful. With Rosenrot, it’s definitely the former, because ouch! the thorns really sting.

But that makes the scent all the better. The rose comes through extremely when sprayed, but it’s not unpleasant - not “grandma-like”, too old, or already wilting, no, just incredibly floral, fresh, and - surprise! - rosy. Accompanied by the metallic notes, it all feels beautifully fresh, the incense doesn’t really come out on my skin (unfortunately), but that doesn’t take away from the fragrance. The base notes make the scent cozy and warm - it becomes a bit sweeter, more intimate, and “homier”.

But don’t get me wrong - the longevity is insane! Normally, I belong to the candidates for whom any perfume lasts a maximum of 4 hours, even if they’re supposed to last 16 hours on others. Not so with Rosenrot. I can still perceive it myself for the first few hours, even though I’m usually completely nose-blind - and I’m still approached about it in the evening, without reapplying. Even the next day, it’s still quite subtly there. Nevertheless, it’s never overwhelming or “too much” - I would describe the sillage as not discreet, not overloaded, but just right.

It reminds me of Tom Ford's Velvet Orchid, which is also in my collection. The fragrances are not dupes - I wouldn’t go so far as to call them that, but Rammstein definitely captures the “vibe” for me, it’s that sophisticated. The longevity is even better with Rosenrot, and I would almost claim that if I had already had Rosenrot in my collection, I wouldn’t have purchased Tom Ford at all. Thus, Rammstein has not released a run-of-the-mill scent, no - it could easily compete in the upper league of niche perfumes!

I’m glad to have discovered this treasure - in my opinion, a very well-invested 40€ and for rose and niche fans (+ of course also for Rammstein fans ;)) it’s definitely worth at least taking a sniff.

Snow White and Rose Death
Just this morning, I wrote about a rose-red statement "unfortunately I couldn't test it yet." Now I can write: "unfortunately I could test it."

It starts off well. If the scent stayed like this - it would be a candidate for purchase. Fruity-green, unexpectedly lovely.
But after about a minute, the metallic note comes in. And it is dreadful. It reminds me so much of blood that I feel nauseous. Some say they get nausea and a gag reflex from this one "sperm perfume" (you know, that bodily fluid stuff magnifiques Sécrétions Magnifiques). Well, I have the same experience here.
How can one imagine this? Picture a hostage situation in a perfumery or rose water factory. Unfortunately, it takes a dark turn, and now everyone is lying in their pools of blood. The proteins slowly start to decompose, the blood emits a metallic scent... And then there's the sultry, hot weather today... Phew...

Dear Monsieur Illan, dear guys from Rammstein, what were you thinking? I like your music, at least now and then, I am even more interested in your fragrances. In the worst case, they are OK, in the best case, I am thrilled. How often have I sprayed the sailor in the last few days and enjoyed it. How I look forward to the sailor intense. How impressed I am by the heart and base notes of Cocaine Gold. How fine is White Ash.

But this rose I will throw on the perfume compost. Because even if the disgusting metallic note weakens, an unpleasant memory remains for me, which is not displaced but deepened by this incoming sticky rose scent.

Metallic dusty rose. Too sharp and poignant for my nose, but if you want a non-typical rose scent, something with an edge, this might be it.

The citrusy, smoky, and metallic notes blend with the rose to create a rose geranium tone. Good, but it doesn't really rock.

It can hold its own against many niche roses. Rose, slightly soapy, becomes softer and a bit sweeter over time. Not bad.

Rich, mature rose resting on wood with green stems and a subtle hint of incense. It has a slight oud vibe too, but

Longevity until Baghdad. Way too animalistic and direct for me. But I’m also a wuss when it comes to that.

Rammstein has put one out. A proper rose-bang and incense. It says feminine, starts that way, but then oh my gosh. Good!

Metallic undertones, like hemoglobin, along with a bitter, prickly rose. Could also be an expensive niche. It's too synthetic for me.

Rosenrot makes quite a splash and smells strikingly different. That's a good thing, because bland sameness would have really disappointed me.
