LeatheryWhat does Mercedes-Benz Man Private smell like?
It opens with cypress, cardamom and artemisia, a fresh but dry spice. In the heart, lavender, labdanum and ambrox turn this into something resinous and gently sweet. Patchouli, cedarwood and cashmeran in the base deepen the woody, oriental and smoky side with an earthy tone.
Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn, winter and spring, and few choose summer. Evening, night out and leisure are named most often, with business wear also fitting. It reads clearly masculine and classic. Bentley for Men Intense and Boss Bottled Absolu have a close profile.
