Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-Benz is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Olivier Cresp. Mercedes-Benz opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Violet, Pepper, Nutmeg, and Galbanum, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Mercedes-Benz's Mercedes-Benz carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a divisive cheapie: some call it a pleasant, fresher Fahrenheit, others a generic, synthetic mess that’s only fit for the bin. For those who connect with its violet-citrus-wood profile, it’s a versatile daily driver punching above its weight, but blind buy at your own risk.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this
