Mercedes-Benz The Move is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Dominique Ropion. The Move opens with Apple Blossom, Grapefruit, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Salt, Sea Water, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Tonka Bean and Canadian Fir Balsam. Mercedes-Benz's The Move carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A youthful crowd-pleaser that's fresh and sweet but with a surprisingly divisive edge. It's affordable, performs well and attracts compliments like nobody's business, making it a solid choice for a casual everyday scent - unless you find it cloying.

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

About

Mercedes-Benz The Move kicks off with a vibrant, fizzy burst of grapefruit and sweet apple blossom, sharpened by a hint of cardamom. This energetic opening soon settles into a fresh marine heart, where salty notes mingle with geranium, evoking an airy, outdoorsy feel. The dry down offers a subtle warmth with fir resin and tonka bean, adding a mild sweetness and depth to the aquatic freshness without ever getting too heavy.
