This is a very good release from Mercedes, regardless of what age group it's best suited for (though I agree with the reviewer below that it's probably best for the 30 and up crowd). The cypress accord is rich and spicy, and it rests nicely over the smooth, rounded woody base. Private reminds me a lot of Oud Malaki, another underrated little gem from Chopard. Overall, this is a spicy woody fragrance with a dark amber hue running through it creating a fragrance that is sophisticated, and somewhat mature and serious. It's definitely more of a business fragrance or personal scent than anything to wear to a club or on a date, especially if you're young. Still, I have to hand it to Mercedes, they didn't miss a step here. The whole composition has good, quality notes, and rather than release another men's sweet woody amber like every other company's doing nowadays, Mercedes took it in a more traditional, classic direction and added something to the industry that's more needed these days--an elegant men's fragrance that doesn't pander to the mass market with cliched trends. They should be commended for that. I get good performance from Mercedes Benz Man Private. Final rating: 8/10, maybe 8.5 considering the bargain prices that it goes for. Side note: Ambroxan is listed as a central component to the composition, but I don't really pick up on it that much. Either it's been camouflaged really well, or I just don't understand the note, because I would have never guessed that it's here.

Digging this... A masculine woody, ambery scent with hints of some underlying spicy sweetness. Very solid modern masculine - The touches of Ambroxan and Labdanum give it a leathery smoothness that I really enjoy. The Cardamom in the opening is reminiscent of the Cardamom accord in Mercedes-Benz Select Night (if you have that or experienced it in the past). Private obviously goes in a different direction, but the Cardamom is very similar. More dry earthy spicy as opposed to herbaceous sweetness. Some sweet accords do exist, but this is not a YSL LNDL type Cardamom. This is a fragrance that while not specifically listing Tobacco as a note, will give you the feel of a scent that contains a Tobacco note. As the "this perfume reminds me of" section indicates - If you enjoy fragrances like Bentley for Men/Men Intense, Bvlgari MiB, many Leather based fragrances, masculine Amber fragrances and fragrances such as Pasha de Cartier Parfum, Nasomatto Pardon and even something along the lines of Nasomatto Baraonda... You may very well enjoy Mercedes-Benz Man Private. For the price - This is a very solid pick up.

A green and spicy opening is quickly joined by sweet, resinous notes. This pleasing start leads to a warm amber, with the spices continuing but the greenery giving way to grounding woods. The dry down is warm, resinous and woody, bringing to mind freshly lit pipe tobacco. I do not detect any leather notes/accord here. There is a slight synthetic feel to the overall smell, but not unpleasant by any means. Very smooth from start to finish - does not challenge the nose at all - definitely an good all-rounder for most occasions in colder weather. This EdP performs rather well, and a couple of sprays easily surround me in a bubble of softly warm spices. If generously applied, no touch ups are necessary for many hours. Given the affordable pricing and this being a car manufacturer perfume, the Private scent is unexpectedly elegant and accomplished. One of the very best budget scents I've experienced.

Warm woody tobacco spices and cedar, ochre/brown with a lavender absolute (more sweet and creamy than lavender oil) note woven throughout. Hints of honey, too. A wonderful smell that is slightly hampered by quality of ingredients - it smells great but feels a bit flat and 2 dimensional. Similar scents are Oud Malaki, while a bit more "3 dimensional" it has its own drawback of a harsh metallic note throughout (something like scratchy sandalwood mixed with scratchy incense). I prefer MB Private for sure. 1 Million Golden Oud is also similar but much more 3 dimensional and feels higher quality overall. Though, while having a similar woody, spicy tobacco profile, that fragrance is a fair bit more leathery. I think Golden Oud is the objectively better scent but MB Private is easier to wear - it's less demanding and more comforting.
