The little brother of Montblanc Legend Spirit?
If you like the Legend Spirit and are looking for a cheaper alternative, you will surely find it here.

First of all: I really like the Legend Spirit.

That's why I really wanted to test the Fresh Splash for Him Eau de Toilette. For about €7 for 30ml, you can't go wrong.

The scent starts off fruitier and with more herbs than the Legend Spirit thanks to the basil, pear, ginger, and blood orange.

This remains the case for a longer time, and you can tell that there is no pepper and cardamom in it.

In other words, you have to like the opening due to the basil.

After 5-10 minutes, the scent develops very pleasantly and comes much closer to the Legend Spirit. The grapefruit is quite prominent with a herbal punch, after the pear from the opening has faded a bit.

All in all, I find the Legend Spirit to be a bit smoother, more harmonious, and stronger, but honestly, at this price, you can't go wrong at all.

It is the perfect perfume for gifting or for a young man entering the world of fragrances. An absolute no-brainer and not comparable to the other Mexx perfumes purely in terms of quality and synthetics, as I find the Fresh Splash for Him Eau de Toilette doesn't smell overly synthetic at that price.

The lavender musk fruit combo is simply great and always works. Absolutely recommended for those looking for an affordable gym or work scent, where spraying doesn't hurt the wallet :) It's not a visual stunner, but given the circumstances, you can overlook that.

I would always prefer this scent over other well-known cheapies like Blue Jeans, Voyage Eau de Toilette, Cool Water Eau de Toilette, or other drugstore fragrances.

Solid Cheapie with a Rich Grapefruit Note
Knowing that Fresh Splash is considered a little insider tip among cheapies, I blindly grabbed it during my Saturday shopping at the supermarket (the tester was empty). There were 50ml for €11, and if necessary, it would have been misused as a room fragrance.

The grapefruit is strongly noticeable at first, which I personally like. Rounded off by the basil, which adds a herbaceous note. However, it probably won't appeal to everyone (e.g., my girlfriend). It noticeably weakens in the first 10 minutes, becoming softer and less citrusy.

Among the drugstore scents, it's certainly one of the best. It doesn't have that typically generic citrus note that immediately reminds you of toilet cleaner. At the same time, it's not extraordinary, but just extraordinary enough.

Sillage and longevity are, as expected, below average. It resembles a cologne more than an EDT. For me, the application areas are after a shower post-workout, as a backup scent in the office drawer, for a Sunday at home or by the lake, and other sporty activities.

Percival, is that you?
Mexx Fresh Splash truly manages to impress. Driven by the impressive rating for a budget fragrance, I gave it a chance this morning and I must say, for the price, it is outstanding. It starts off very fresh. Dominating is a shower gel note that bears a striking resemblance to Percival by PdM. Underneath, very green herbal notes provide a unique touch. I consider basil to be a rumor, but tarragon could be it. In any case, this herbal note gives the whole thing a very dry, almost salty, undertone. The sillage and longevity seem to me to be rather mediocre.
At this point, I would usually recommend a suitable outfit, but honestly, the fragrance refuses to "talk" to me in this regard. The best I can think of are solid-colored shorts and a matching shirt or T-shirt for a day with friends in the park.

Conclusion: The similarity to Percival is striking. Anyone looking for a fresh shower gel scent with a distinctly individual note for very little money will find this a good choice. One shouldn't expect miracles, but it is definitely worth a try.

I didn't expect that :)
The first Mexx that I really like, tested today and immediately took it home.
It's even on sale at Rossmann, 50ml for a mere €11.95.

About the scent:

Right upon spraying, there's a strong citrusy grapefruit note paired with blood orange, very fresh and zesty at the start, the lavender is kept subtle, so it doesn't smell barbershop-like.

After about 20 minutes, the vetiver and musk come in, and it becomes slightly sweet but really just a little, which I also like very much. Dawg's comment about the split ice is spot on, I immediately had to think of that ice cream too.

A really good quality for a drugstore fragrance.
Longevity and sillage could be a bit better, but overall it's fine.

Conclusion: If you're looking for an affordable fresh summer scent for everyday wear, I can really recommend this fragrance, top.

Very nice fresh-fruity scent. The fruity notes are dominant. It's fun to overapply it a bit, it lifts your spirits.

No brainer that reminds me of Montblanc Legend Spirit.
A bit generic but still good.
Good price/quality ratio.
Is, if not the best, the best Mexx...

No, unfortunately this one doesn't work for me at all, too many citrus fruits and it feels bone-dry.
I find the version for women better.
