Huh, Mercedes?

Yeah, read it right. and a little introduction before we begin. If you don't like it, it's best to jump on "to the actual scent"...
Meanwhile not quite so great rarity, but there are these scenting systems in cars. For MB this is then called "Air-Balance". Sense, purpose and meaningfulness should not be the topic now. I, for one, think it's great. At MB there are 4 "regular" fragrances. The first delivery(sduftnote) for normal vehicles is a scent that did not appeal to me (but was bearable). A sample set of the other fragrances is also included. Well, they didn't knock me out either. They were all kind of too "bright, fresh and sporty" for me. It's not a miracle tree level (in terms of price anyway), but not suitable for my taste (for the type of vehicle). The intensity of the scent can be adjusted; I drive on the lowest level and therefore the whole thing is really very discreet and unobtrusive. Non-scented noses would probably not even notice it.

By default, a fragrance is only loosened for the Maybach. Fortunately, this is not only available for him, but of course also in the accessory trade of MB (-> 100 ml for a little over 500,- , Yepp). But the sales size is always only 15ml flacons, which are docked to the fragrance system (in terms of price therefore well laminated....). Its scent is exactly what "touches" me in the car and also outside. The scent is called "Agarwood-Mood". The oud note together with the dark fruity harmony is simply great. In fact, so classy that I would have liked to have this scent as a "real" fragrance. It's this masculine, distinctive but subtle oud-smoky note with a dimmed fruity note that I really like in combination. This was the beginning of the odyssey and odyssey through the oud fragrance world. Because I think that many oud scents have a "pronounced rose number and floweriness" in tow and are therefore at least uni sex. Or on the other hand they are so dark-oily-dirty that it almost hurts.

And now for the actual scent.

Luckily, the odyssey could be stopped early (otherwise I could have ordered 100 ml of "Agarwood"). This boss-oud is exactly what I described before with the "Agarwood" fragrance. A bottled flanker of all things? I did not expect that. For me, the Boss Oud has (only) a small base note from the original Bottled anyway, but it contributes just the right dose of masculine alignment. For me, the Boss Oud is not (any more) recognizable as a "flanker", but has a very independent fruity and noudy note. Very nice and unexpected (and glad to have made this one). By the way, according to the packaging, among other things "Genuine, opulent oud with fragrances/spices from the Middle East" is used...soso...

The durability is good, the Sillage dimmed. I have to use a relatively large amount of sprayer to make it perceptible to my senses (and the external test noses).

I am not sure - due to the lack of warmth - if and how he does himself even on warm evenings. In summer I definitely can't imagine it, but in the evening when it gets cooler I can. I have stocked up on it for the time being, out of sockets that it disappears from the market.
