Rausch
Born of 1920s Berlin parties and a long night at Berghain: red pepper sinks into cypriol and vanilla bean, then amber and oud.
Perfumer: Veronique Nyberg
Rausch is the German word for intoxication, the kind that belongs to a long night out. The house made it as a tribute to Berlin's legendary parties of the 1920s, while perfumer Véronique Nyberg drew on a much more recent scene: a long night at Berghain.
Red pepper comes first, quick and bright, with sandalwood listed beside it to give the spice something smooth to land on. In the heart, cypriol's earthy, smoky root meets patchouli and the rounded sweetness of vanilla bean.
Amber and oud form the base, warm resin set against a darker, denser wood. The arc runs from a jolt of spice to something slower and heavier, more after-hours than opening act.
