For me this perfume is the absolute opposite of extremes. But that doesn't have to be bad, on the contrary. Everyone likes it or even more and it's probably the fragrance with the most applications of all the fragrances I know. It fits really well to every age (young and old), to every occasion (leisure, office, sports, maybe even club) and to every season, but especially in spring! One wonders why... I have the feeling that it is because it contains so many different scents, but none of them dominates very much/too much.

With AHSEE I find it especially difficult to describe the fragrance: Words like: soft, clean, calm, mixture of good freshness and light sweetness, creamy, natural, warm, pleasant...
I particularly like this combination because I get headaches from many other fragrances after a short time and they "annoy" me. With AHSEE this is not so!
The durability is great on my skin, the Sillage could be a little bit better sejin, but is definitely good. I am completely satisfied.

Well, this scent really tries everything to be seen as Clon of Sauvage. It remains however with the attempt.
Sauvage is generally already very pushy and edgy (not bad meant), but here it's clearly too aggressive, which is not exactly positive in the environment of the wearer. This is because in the top note there is not the citric freshness as in Sauvage but the alcohol and in the base not the magical metallic Ambrox from Sauvage but a much too extreme spice and pepper note for my nose. But maybe that's where the name comes from ;)

Yes you can think that for 6,99€ you can't do much wrong and the temptation is great if you see this fragrance in every DM, miller and Kaufland, but at Douglas and Karstadt there is a clon called Writer for 14,99€ which differs only minimally from the original and for the price of currently 14,99€ gets out the optimum of the possible. It's a pity that this fragrance is now probably dusty in the back corners...

It was half a year ago. My roommate came into my room with 20 samples of a fragrance called Mercedes-Select, which he had received as a promotional gift, and gave me some of them, because he himself was very enthusiastic about the Eau de Toilette.
So I tested the scent and got a real "Woooooooowwww" flash right away. As a 20 year old, not so rich student, I hadn't discovered perfumes for myself at all until then, but was a few times at Müller's and co.'s to sniff at individual ones. There I was always quite disappointed, because I mostly only smelled synthetic, heavy and sweet scents À la One Million which I don't like at all...

But this Mercedes Select was different. So fresh and above all fruity! This makes the mood go straight up! I personally like the bergamot very much at the beginning, but I can also imagine that it can also annoy my environment, also because the similarity of detergents is already there. But maybe also because I just didn't spray myself with it when I was on a date xD

But what I liked most about this fragrance is the transition to this very masculine, woody and warm base note. At this point I heard for the first time that there is, or should be, something like a dry down in perfume. I know I was stupid. D

All in all I would describe the fragrance as a total all-rounder: Fits all seasons (even if the winter may not be optimal), can be worn by young and old and fits great in the office, as well as in leisure time and evenings!

But I didn't decide to buy a bottle. For the reason that I did little research here on Parfumo, am enthusiastic about all comments and reviews and found out that the fragrance probably has a very big resemblance to Aventus. So I became a big Aventus-DNA fan without all the hype to get the scent :)

Of course Aventus is much too expensive for me, but I became aware of all the clones and finally decided for Insurrection Pure2, which I can recommend to others. Unfortunately I still have no idea how Aventus smells, but I think that IP2 smells very good (better than Select due to a rounder transition), is very cheap and has a longer durability than the Select. The Sillage and above all the durability is unfortunately the big reason why I decided against Select, because on my skin it is only 2-3 hours well to perceive.

Interesting also that for me Select and IP2 already smell relatively different, but Clon of the same smell should be :D

Now IP2 has become my Signature Scent, I found more favorites here via Parfumo (La nuit de l'homme, Ultramale, Sauvage and Hawas for example) and became aware of the souk. So it was great that my roommate came into the room with Select! I'm gonna buy this one eventually.
