SpicyWhat does Mercedes-Benz Ultimate smell like?
It opens with cedar leaf and lavender; in the heart, mandarin orange, nutmeg and apple bring the sweetness. The base lays down a woody floor of cypress, sandalwood, patchouli, amber and cedarwood. Aquatic and floral facets support the freshness, while the spice stays in the background.
Voters rate both longevity and sillage as good. Most pick spring and fall, and daily wear, leisure and business settings lead. Most voters read it as masculine, with a share calling it modern. Ulric de Varens UDV Flash and Rue Broca Pride pour Homme have a close profile.
