Mercedes-Benz Sea

Dudes be comparing this with their collection of 150 niche fragrances for $200+ each. I know we all have different noses, different skins, different tastes and likings, but concerning Mercedes Sea - you are all wrong. Literally everyone around me falls in love with it, compliments come from all over the place and I will most likely buy 10 backup bottles of it, in case it gets discontinued. Probably the safest blind buy ever.

This is a great 'grab-and-go' bottle for humid days and outdoor walks. It stays noticeable for about six hours but sits much closer to the skin after the halfway mark. It’s clean enough for work without being overpowering, but keep a travel spray handy if you want that fresh 'just-applied' feel by the afternoon.

Very pleasant and mass appealing cheapo

This whole collection was a bit of a letdown. This is a generic aquatic but very synthetic and calone heavy. Good Looking bottle but the atomizer sucks. The Violet is kinda there in the background but doesn't really add anything to the profile for me. I'd say it's a slightly better voyage for 3x the price. Edit: I guess I have to give it's flowers, my nose must've been fried when I tried it. The Aquatic have a bit more depth then the average aquatic freshie and like the rest of the collection it adds a little sweetness (from the violet). I had a headache the first time I tried it but it hasn't been there since so it must've been the exception, not the rule. Don't like it enough to warrant keeping it around though. Kind of reminding me a Byredo I've had before (but can't remember), maybe Mojave Ghost or Bal d'Afrique.

Very forgettable, generic aquatic, yet some may like the pronounced violet with this flowery-aldehydic calone. Soapy fresh, but in a good way, it smells clean. The main thing is that it lacks complexity and doesn't feel very polished, like a top designer fragrance. Love the looks- you need to put three bottles together to form a unique complete one. 6/10
