Lemonade at flower meadow

With anticipation I ordered this fragrance. Something fresh it should be, it had recently become too many sweet scents for the fall / winter. A fragrance for every day, which impresses no one necessarily, but in the office and in everyday life always leaves a clean impression. Of course, I was tempted by the comparison with Dior - I confess that in advance. Stupid only if one confuses Dior Homme Cologne and Dior Homme Sport...the latter I had already smelled and found him super, the former, which is the Benz Cologne yes similar, but not.

Now to the fragrance: It opens very fresh, citrus, however, is here already in the background a discreet floral note to recognize, which increases with time. This remains quite present over a few hours, at least with me. And unfortunately, that's where the sticking point lies for me: for me, it's just too floral, too feminine. It reminds me of my class teacher in elementary school - definitely a nice person, but not one I need to smell like. I don't know if this floral is only the case on my skin? But also, the first woman I showed this scent to said "It smells good, but not masculine - more unisex."

I have thereby nothing against unisex fragrances (I still trust Gaultier 2 today after), but something does not want to please me at the Benz Cologne. But what can not be denied in any case: The quality is right, it seems very high quality and also the bottle is nice and heavy, elegant. Durability is solala, but that's with fresh fragrances no rarity and thus I will not chalk him up negatively.

For me, he comes unfortunately not to Tommy Hilfiger Tommy, Bleu de Chanel EdT and 360 Red past - so he will probably, not sure yet, I part reluctantly, soon move on.

PS: It's my first review, no idea if my review, which I'm about to give, will be added here then? One will see:-)

Please serve chilled

I let myself be tempted by the good Jeremy to a blind purchase, Benz Cologne, l'homme ideal and Men eau Fraiche. It was late winter / early spring around, package arrived, opened and sniffed through, Versace: wow, horny part! Guerlain: a bit of sweet cherry, a bit of smoke and leather, it's going to rock in the fall! Mercedes-Benz: nice value bottle, the turquoise gradient makes you want to go to the sea, but then sprayed on.... Please what, 50 € for dishwashing liquid and glass cleaner?! I was so disappointed by Jeremy's citrusy - refreshing summer hit. I was about to give it away, but left it for now. A few months later, ping! "Jeremy Fragrance has uploaded a video, Top 10 summer fragrances" Well let's have a look, and Benz Cologne was there again at the end of the video quite the dear Jeremy still a tip "Guys pack your summer fragrances in the fridge, and when you spray them on then you smell good and it refreshes you" Aha your serious Jeremy? Well let's give it a chance, Benz cologne, men eau fraiche and consorts packed into the fridge. The next day it was 32° and I gave the Benz another chance...3-4 splashes on neck and chest, yes the refreshment was there. My God, where is the rinsing agent? Suddenly a tangy citrus bomb, sour sparkling grapefruit paired with mandarin and ginger, later the vetiver comes in, I couldn't believe it was the same scent, no longer so turgid, synthetic soapy, actually a really cool summer scent that works best in really hot temperatures. I do not know if it was really the refrigerator, or it was now just the right season, but Mercedes-Benz Cologne is a really great tangy citrus scent, and since then my summer scents are actually in the fridge

Soap bubbles

If you expect a novel, unfortunately you have to scroll on, but I thought that this scent comparison could help someone because it is 80% true as I think. Everyone knows it as a child, the glued tin with the lid with a labyrinth on it and a little ball. Inside the can was soap to blow with. And that's what this smell here smells like

High Heat Dummy Reach

I live in a very hot and dry climate. The summers here are hell and average temp in day time is is 37 and higher. I was looking for something to keep me good smelling yet not asphyxiative (if that is a word) for people around me. This fits the bill perfectly.
Mercedes Benz Cologne starts not very nice (to my surprise) but fortunately it dries down in five minutes and turns into a cocktail of grapefruit and ginger, which this combination smells like bitter orange to me. It's very polite and calming, it's somehow Dior Sauvage for highest heats. It fills stage gap of the casualty if D&G light blue intense and formality of Office scents.
Of course it has a catch, projection dies down a bit quick but if you wear Mercedes Benz Cologne in the proper heat, it's not a problem.
Reactions are not head smashing but you'd hardly find a person who's offended by this, compliment usually stay in people's mind and won't be said out loud for most cases.

Love Takes Time... Sometimes

Although October is today was me after this fragrance. I think I just fell in love again and I have to write this down immediately in a comment...

We had anything but a good start. I had the MB Cologne on my watchlist because of the good rating and tested it for the first time this spring. After a few minutes on my skin I pulled the phone and immediately removed it from my list - I found it far too citric.

In the course of the next few hours I had to sniff the back of my hand again and again and was increasingly surprised by the development, which was very positive. As the citrus notes fade away, one increasingly recognizes slightly spicy notes (ginger, verbena?) and very fine woody notes. But there's much more to it than that, which arouses an enthusiasm in me like only a few freshies. Cotton notes, balsamic freshness... is that the vetiver? Anyway, the whole thing is more than the buzzer of its parts.

Conclusion: At the end of the day I even ordered the MB Cologne. Now he's back on my list under "Have I" ;-) And now I even like the quirky start... very even!!!

Shelf life: For a Freshy really good (6-8 hours)
Sillage: Can't reach Aqva Amara now, but can be seen and smelled.
Flacon: I'm not a Mercedes fan, but I still like the flacon ;-) It is of high quality in the hand and the colourful design is very appealing.

Benz SL - C, like Cabrio or Cologne

Yeah, that's how I imagine a Mercedes convertible: Noble, without beads, spoilers and fake exhaust pipes - just straight out, open, honest and beautiful. Is there no more? Now summer convertible scent they can still... Mercedes Cologne is a naturally aromatic, citric fresh and bitter scent with orange. The course is quite linear. P/H is above average for this genre. The bottle is very solid, with massive capsule, neat sprayer in chic summer blue. Approx. 55 € for 120 ml is a fair offer - I think of beloved Amalfi from TF... (make a shy comparison here too?). Often difficult to obtain - speaks for itself. Conclusion: For me, with the best summer scent - wearable on any occasion. Thank you. I'll take care of it

The Valencian Amalfi

If Tom Ford Mandarino di Amalfi corresponds to a Maldives holiday, the MB Cologne stands for a trip to the port city on Spain's east coast.

Not so exclusive in price but nevertheless it spreads carefree summer vibes between citric fruits and wooden palms.

We are dealing with a summer fragrance that has an average shelf life for unbelievably little money and comes across as extremely fresh. The resemblance to DHC is not to be denied but nevertheless we do it wrong when we put it in the shade of the great Dior fragrance. Because this can also be sprayed at high temperatures and has a similar Sillage.

The interplay between bitter grapefruit and sweet mandarin simply fits into the (for me) most beautiful time of the year. A chic, blue bottle with a Mercedes star as lid is a perfect match. In the further course the woods and vervain appear, which results in a stylish finish.
Definitely for everyone to recommend unreservedly. For the warm hours in the spare time, vacation or everyday life wonderfully suitably, this is a Preisknaller which looks for its Gleichen.

The beautiful and the ... Original !

Because my Nick program is, Dior Homme Cologne was able to assert itself quite fast as my signature scent. Therefore I wear it frequently and have it always there - in 200ml King size, of course ;-) But even though the king of Dior is not a dwarf when it comes to fruit, a beautiful playmate who smells very similar has recently joined in. Her name is Mercedes and she also comes from the realms of Cologne.

Yes, "approx. 70% like DHC" I can also attest her, but the fruitiness of MBC is not quite as deep and juicy as that of the grapefruit king. But she flirts with a slightly synthetic-sweetish top note, which gives the whole thing a lovely kick, clearly originates in the orange, and is perceptible over the entire course of the fragrance.

On the other hand, I can hardly hear anything about pink pepper or ginger at all, and the base notes do not carry much weight either. But the beautiful Mercedes shines with a simple, but very attractive bottle, which I like to take in the change to the Dior in my hand.

Actually I place the two next to each other, one roundish, the other angular, even

the beautiful and the ... Original ;-)

Freshly pressed

A hammer this fragrance. Somebody said if we do it right. That's how simple life is when you focus on the essentials. It smells uncompromisingly of lemons and mandarins. No more, no less. A fragrance for every age group and every occasion during the day. I wouldn't prefer it in the evening but the smell is too "awake".

A wonderful Cologne towards Dior Homme Cologne/Sport

This Cologne finally went into my collection last month. I finally managed to get this one. It hasn't been that easy. Every time I wanted to order some scents, it was out of stock. Well, finally he's here. At a very, very fair price. Below 30 Euro for 75ml, the larger version of 120ml is available for 40 Euro. Great price and fair for the quality. He is quite well known for a Mercedes, as the similarity to DHC was often thematized on Youtube and other platforms.
There are many prejudices about car brands as perfume brands. I had them at first, too, but I took them off. Jaguar, Bentley, Ferrari and also Mercedes Benz have really strong and inexpensive fragrances in their assortment. Partly at drugstore prices and partly at low designer prices.
With Olivier Cresp, Mercedes has landed an interesting perfumer who really does a solid job and has developed some fragrances for this brand. Quite worth testing.

The bottle is nothing really special, but looks very chic. Great glass and great light blue color. It's great in the hand. The lid is then typically Mercedes with Mercedes star.
Olivier Cresp is also a perfumer here, who has also developed a Versace Eau Fraiche fragrance twin mentioned here. Even if it is rather a twin of Dior Homme Cologne/Sport (2008), some similarities to Versace can be seen.
The opening starts with a lot of citric freshness. A noble high-quality citrus note that comes very close to Dior Homme Sport. A very noble citrus freshness. I also own this Dior and I appreciate it very much. But he's also a twin of Dior Homme Cologne. There's no denying the resemblance. Especially the nice tart grapefruit note. In addition there are juicy orange and mandarin. Very fresh and tasty. The ginger note is only subtly perceptible and subordinates itself to citrus. For a long time an almost exclusively citrus fragrance. Later vervain and woods are used. The musk in the base is later only discreetly perceptible, but also ensures a great dry-down. Altogether a great cross-section of DHC,DHS 08 and Eau Fraiche. Since I like all 3 I like this total package.
Performance: Is fine for fresh fragrances in the price range. All right with a few hours. Dior Homme Cologne lasts a little longer, but costs about twice as much. I like cologne's that last for about 3-4 hours, because you can choose another fragrance for the evening without spraying or washing up. Especially for leisure time during the day a nice companion. Also after-spraying is no problem with the price.

All in all, a fragrance I can really recommend. Especially for this price.
