Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-Benz Ultimate is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Olivier Cresp. Mercedes-Benz Ultimate opens with Cedar and Lavender, settles into a heart of Mandarin, Nutmeg, and Apple, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Cypress. Mercedes-Benz's Mercedes-Benz Ultimate carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A divisive one, this. Some reckon it's a stellar budget-friendly clone of PDM Greenley and Dior Sauvage, a year-round versatile gem. Others dismiss it as a generic 'bubblegum sweet' or 'shaving cream' scent, best avoided. 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.

About

Mercedes-Benz Ultimate opens with a refreshing burst of lavender and cedar, quickly joined by crisp apple and spicy nutmeg, underscored by a juicy mandarin. As it settles, a warm, earthy base emerges, blending cypress and patchouli with creamy sandalwood and a rich amber. It’s a woody, fresh spicy scent with aromatic lavender and a subtle fruity sweetness.
