Nichts für den Mainstream
Raspberry Dictator ist ein Duft, der keine halben Sachen macht. Er startet mit einer intensiven, fast überspitzten Himbeernote, die sofort die Aufmerksamkeit auf sich zieht – süß, saftig, fast schon sirupartig. Begleitet wird das Ganze von einem würzigen Unterton (Ingwer, Pfeffer), der die Fruchtigkeit ausbalanciert und dem Duft direkt eine gewisse Schärfe und Reife gibt.

Nach dem lauten, fruchtigen Auftakt entwickelt sich der Duft sehr schnell in eine dunklere Richtung. Besonders das Leder ist hier dominant – nicht rauchig oder schmutzig, sondern glatt, elegant und mit einer leichten Cremigkeit. Die Himbeere bleibt sehr leicht und dezent im Hintergrund.

Die Performance ist wie immer sehr stark!! und auch die Haltbarkeit ist extrem (bei mir locker 8–10 Stunden auf Haut; deutlich länger auf Kleidung).

Was man wissen sollte: Das ist kein Duft für Jedermann.
Wer bei Himbeere an einen leichten, frischen Sommerduft denkt, wird überrascht sein – Raspberry Dictator ist dunkel, würzig und schwer. Die Frucht ist eher ein Einstieg, keine Hauptfigur. Der Duft hat meine Freundin im dry down an Air Tiger erinnert, aber definitiv nicht das selbe.

Ein kraftvoller, maskulin angehauchter Statement-Duft mit mutiger Himbeernote. Für Kenner, nicht für Mainstream. Ideal für Abendveranstaltungen, kühle Tage und selbstbewusste Auftritte. Wer etwas sucht, das auffällt, Ecken und Kanten hat – und trotzdem edel bleibt – sollte hier definitiv mal Probe riechen.

A perfume you don't need
I was able to test this perfume extensively over the last two days. At the beginning there is a very strong raspberry. It reminds me a bit of ahoi Brause or raspberry sweets. The raspberry is very strong, but also very artificial. Unfortunately, it is not as promised that this raspberry is present throughout. On the contrary, as you approach the dry down, it becomes weaker and weaker.

After 30-60 minutes, I could only perceive the synthetic oud. The fragrance then got worse and worse for me the longer I wore it. The top notes receded more and more and this brute animalic art oud became more and more apparent.

You already know this oud from Arabian King. At least it seems very similar to me. With Arabian King, however, I have the top notes with me throughout and this rounds off the fragrance very well. Unfortunately, I miss that completely in Raspberry Dictator.

The one with the hat :)
Raspberry Dictator, for example: the fragrance starts off really strikingly sweet, fruity, but not cheesy. The raspberry comes right through, nice and juicy, together with a tangy mandarin. Add to that a hint of ginger and the whole thing comes across as fresh, lively, almost like a sweet cocktail, but still grown-up.

Then it gets more exciting: the heart becomes spicier, with black pepper coming through, a little incense and iris adding an elegant, slightly powdery note. It remains interesting, not too heavy, but with character.

And the base? Really pleasantly warm and sensual. Leather, vetiver, ambergris, musk - it all gives the fragrance such a strong, almost dominant aura. Overall, quite masculine, but still inviting.

I think it's really funny how perfumes are rated these days, either treated like a royal wine tasting, or completely ripped apart just because you don't like the person/brand behind the fragrance.

The (sole) reigning raspberry "Crazy Shit"
The bearded influencer said that the name was extremely tasteless due to the world situation, but then went on to say that "the fragrance itself wasn't that crazy shit".

First things first: let's take a look at what the name means: Raspberry. "Dictator" stands for an autocrat; someone/something that controls and oppresses. UI. That fits.
BECAUSE the fragrance smells primarily, secondly and thirdly of raspberry. I can't smell any of the other ingredients. That's why the name is perfect. The raspberry is simply dominant.
The rest is not due to the world situation, but rather to the German cancel culture. The things you are no longer allowed to say are more and more reminiscent of the child who covers his eyes out of fear so that evil will disappear.
But what about the fragrance?
I wear the fragrance almost every day. I love it. And no, I don't think it's a second Air tiger.

Air Tiger - Raspberry Edition
The scent chords of the heart and base notes remind me of those of Air Tiger when I smell them. For me, these are presented here with a little more lightness. The whole thing is underlined with an additional fruity note of tangy raspberry. Personally, I don't find it to be an overly synthetic raspberry, but really very authentic.

In terms of longevity and sillage, Marc Gebauer never disappoints. Once again, a fragrance with a very solid performance.

All in all, it can be said that with Raspberry Dictator you get a very concise fragrance that arrives with a clear bang and continues to do so for the entire duration. I would even say that it is a statement fragrance for me. It's certainly not gentle but rather dominant, but it's sophisticated and a really great, sweeter alternative to Air Tiger. For all those who don't want to take the other person by surprise ;)
