Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mercedes Benz Club Black Eau de Toilette
A truly impressive vanilla 'cheapie' from an unexpected brand. Club Black delivers a rich, smoky vanilla experience that punches well above its price point, though be warned: some noses are completely blind to its charms.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Stairway to Heaven Eau de Parfum
A divisive scent for the modern palate. For some, it's an intriguing journey of incense and vanilla; for others, a chaotic mishmash. Definitely not a blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Mercedes Benz Club Black Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Club Black leans towards cooler weather, date nights, and formal events due to its warm, rich, and often described 'seductive' vanilla profile. While some find it versatile enough for daily wear, its depth and sweetness might be too much for high heat or overly casual settings. Performance reports are mixed, but generally, it's considered too strong for the office.

Stairway to Heaven Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its distinctive, complex profile with prominent incense and vanilla makes it a bit too bold for a typical office setting, but perfect for dates or evening casual wear. The warmth and spice lend themselves well to cooler weather and social gatherings, though it might be a bit much for formal occasions given its modern edge. It's certainly not suited for sport.
