From your scent profile
Mercedes-Benz Cologne is a fresh, aquatic scent for men that pairs the bright citrus of grapefruit, mandarin orange and Brazilian orange with a sharp edge of pink pepper.
Skunky's take: That just-out-of-the-shower feeling, clean and fresh.

What does Mercedes-Benz Cologne smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick summer, then spring, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear, sport and the office. It reads masculine and modern. It has been discontinued.
Citrus leads from the first spray, while pink pepper adds a spicy lift to the fruity freshness. The heart brings vervain and ginger, which warms the coolness slightly. Vetiver, blond woods and musk make a clean, woody base.
