Does not move me
The first move, the first step, usually lies with the man. He approaches the woman, speaks to her, asks her the question of questions*. What he should not do is wear The Move.

I don't like this fragrance. It doesn't fit and it just doesn't smell that good.
The start is spicy. But not in the pleasant, stimulating way, but rather spicy. A bit like Boss Bottled Eau de Parfum, but less strong and cheaper smelling. There is also a sweetish but not sweet note. As the fragrance progresses, an unpleasant dirty water aquatic is added. The fragrance then becomes sweeter towards the end. This is where it is at its best.

Also more of a drugstore fragrance: rather cheap-looking bottle with a moderate atomizer. Solid sillage, at least 3½ hours of projection, after twice as long then skin contact. The price would be reasonable for a designer, but Mercedes-Benz likes to struggle with quality and likes to make belly landings like this one.

In any case, The Move does not bring movement into play. Not a fragrance for sport and certainly not for a date. Even if not everything about it is terrible, I see no reason to buy it. It's not exceptional and it's not good either. And it should be at least one of those things.

Fatal error!
I stood in the perfumery and smelled here and there. I thought to myself, there's the Mercedes-Benz Cologne. Oh, you put that on your face.

And before I knew it and the sprayer was spraying, I realized that it wasn't Cologne at all, but The Move
It was a mistake that haunted me until the final shower that evening. But really!
I don't really like it when people rip on fragrances like that, but here - I'm sorry!

Synthetic. Very, very synthetic. I think the term was invented specifically for creations like this. Then there's sweet, very sweet, sweet as pop, synthetic sweet as pop - but really unpleasantly sweet and oppressive.

Such a women's drugstore 80s sweet fragrance. A bit like this Impulse deodorant or whatever it was called, which grandma had in her bathroom and which was even more floral and sweet. This one is just overpowering.

So... i don't know, there are certainly different preferences and it's always very subjective, especially when it comes to fragrance. Personally, I wonder why people do this. Why do you create this fragrance? For whom and who wants to smell like this? Sticky, sticky-sweet, synthetic to the point of "no more"...no idea who really needs that. There's already so much on offer, do we really need it?
Maybe for car interiors? No, you wouldn't want that there either.

There are beautiful sweet fragrance creations and those who like them will find what they are looking for. Synthetic compositions can also have their charm, especially aquatic ones.

But this one...unfortunately not. For Dominique Ropion, it's actually far below his capabilities!
A word about the course: it doesn't exist.

Unspectacular
A synthetic freshie, as there are many of its kind, no more and no less.
The fragrance progression is very linear and nothing out of the ordinary, the H/S is fine.
I personally use the fragrance mainly as a gym fragrance and am very satisfied with it in this respect.
The bottle looks nice and is easy to transport thanks to its shape.

Utterly forgettable. Could just as easily be an Adidas or some other Walmart brand cologne. Tried it 3-4 times and sold it

Maybe just a bit bland compared to others but that's what makes it so good - It's not irritating just a fresh linear fragrance.

The only negative thing I can say is that it is linear. Great scent and is perfect for Summer and Spring. Not sure why this has bad scores.
