Mercedes-Benz Man
Mercedes-Benz (2015)

Well, it doesnt smell BAD. Youre not going to offend anyone.

It's generic and synthetic. This would be an alright car freshener.

Save yourself the trouble and get Legend by Mont Blanc instead of this cheaper knockoff. While this fragrance may be more budget-friendly, it doesn't quite compare to the original Legend in terms of quality and performance. In my opinion, it's worth the extra investment to get the real deal.

Mercedes-Benz Man is my first unexciting experience with this "prestigious" brand: metallic as the steelworks, astringent as a lime, watery as a sink, square as a geometric shape. This is not an affected fragrance for sure. The perfect imaginary combination of Lanvin L'Homme (the classic one) and Bleu de Chanel Parfum, namely "nothing new under the sun". Mainstream, elegant, minimalistic, angular, sharply floral (yes probably geranium or carnation) and super cedary. Finally boring. Go further.

A slightly sweetish fruity accord in the opening blast is counterbalanced by a rather synthetic ambery sidekick. The drydown adds a woodsy component, with a geranium-carnation floral dyad adding a more floral tilt in this development.

The base continues the wood theme with a slightly more sweetish wood being noticeable, but otherwise there is little else going on here.

The sillage is moderate, the projection good and I get six hours of longevity.

Whilst all right as a spring scent, it is quite generic and distinctly unexciting. More Golf than Merc - but without the character. 2.25/5.
