Rosenrot

Rosenrot is a dark, metallic rose perfume that channels the Gothic aesthetic of Rammstein, with a sharp, intense profile that feels both modern and theatrical. The scent opens with cold, green grapefruit and a strong metallic note, quickly giving way to a deep, thorny rose that feels more akin to wild hedgerow roses than a garden variety. The rose is rendered with an almost synthetic intensity—where some find it artificial, others experience it as a real, cold, threatening beauty. Incense and woody elements weave through the base, supporting the rose in a way that blurs the line between floral and incense, creating an atmosphere of heavy, smoky drama. The longevity is long and the sillage moderate to strong, making it particularly effective for night wear, where it remains impactful and mood-drenched. While some find it too synthetic or sour, others see it as a sophisticated, powerful alternative to Portrait of a Lady, especially when patchouli becomes overwhelming. It’s not for the faint of heart—its intensity and gothic tone demand a certain kind of wearer.
