Brown Leather Seats in the New A-Class - Star Deserved!

Mercedes makes incredibly stylish cars despite a slight snob & grandpa image. The perfumes have yet to keep up with that. With the new flagship Le Parfum, which I happily won in the Parfumo Facebook giveaway, that is supposed to change. So does Mercedes make the leap past the otherwise mediocre perfumes from other car brands? There are definitely higher hurdles...

Oh yes, Le Parfum has become a damn fine leather scent, comparable to Davidoff's Leather Blend. With this, the company with the star is almost entering a niche, as high-quality as the fragrance & especially the presentation are. Only the more expensive Ferrari line can somewhat compete in terms of car fragrances. A piece of jewelry & the opposite of Jaguar & Co. Since it is a leather scent, a comparison with & memories of Tuscan Leather is unavoidable, but it does not impose itself. It’s more like: with every space saga, you think of Star Wars, with every Ferrari victory in Formula 1 of Schumi & with every good dancer of Michael Jackson. These are simply the footprints that legends inevitably leave behind, which should not diminish new stars. And Le Parfum has the potential to become a small star in the fragrance sky.

Brown leather, an ozone-like raspberry undertone & a creamy synthetic (juniper?), which is minimally bothersome. A scent for men with class & certainly not a slim wallet. Initially, a bit of pepper sprinkled in & a good portion of oud everywhere - a brownish-deep scent is ready, more for autumn days & evenings. Deeper, woody scents seem to be experiencing a renaissance at the moment, mostly in brown color. However, I have the feeling that the new Ence Noir Extreme could soon place the early crown on this trend as a final point.

Bottle: Wow, from the extra-thick glass to the elegant leather packaging, the tire cap to the star under the bottle - it hardly gets better even in the niche!
Sillage: a hint of brown leather
Longevity: not an extremely long-lasting star - 7 hours.

Conclusion: the best Mercedes by far, sending a few small flaws from the fragrance Olympus of car dealership perfumes! Still enough horsepower to take off & earn praise! Thumbs up!

Thanks for the comment :).
I feel the same way; the other Benz fragrances are, well, pretty ordinary. What I like about this one is that it doesn't have that sour berry note; juniper is much more pleasant to me. It would be perfect with an even stronger leather note. Still hitting the like button ;). But if it moves in with me, it better be able to drive a sporty roadster ;D
