Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Tommy EDT
A ‘90s classic that captures American optimism in a bottle, Tommy is a green-citrus blast that stays effortlessly clean and energetic. It is the definition of casual, everyday freshness.

Our Verdict - Mercedes-Benz Select EDT
Mercedes-Benz Select is stuck in a bit of a quandary. It's often seen as an Aventus-esque scent, which for some is a compliment, for others, an insult. Unfortunately, many users report performance so poor it makes the whole thing feel a bit pointless.

Season and Occasion Fit

Tommy

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Autumn

The crisp citrus, green, and minty notes make Tommy ideal for spring and summer, evoking freshness and clean air. Its airy profile fades quickly in cold weather, so it underwhelms in winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

The subtle projection and clean, breezy character make this safe for office and everyday wear, and it is especially at home in casual or sporty settings. It lacks the richness for formal occasions.

Mercedes-Benz Select

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its fresh, clean, and broadly appealing scent profile makes it suitable for office and casual wear, especially for a bit of 'grocery shopping Aventus'. However, its reported weak longevity and projection limit its suitability for dates or formal events where more impact is desired.
