What does Mercedes-Benz for Men (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, with fall not far behind. Daily wear, leisure and the office come up most often, and the character is mostly voted masculine.

It starts with citrus in front: Italian mandarin, lemon and Calabrian bergamot give a bright, fresh opening. In the heart, violet, galbanum and nutmeg pull it towards floral and green, with Madagascar pepper adding a light spice. The base of patchouli, cedarwood and Bourbon vetiver leaves a dry, woody finish.
