Mercedes-Benz Select

After receiving this today and tryin it out I sprayed it on around 10:30 (about 5 sprays) and it lasted all together about 5 hrs. Mainly on my clothes this time. My honest subjective opinion is this is absolutely perfect for a date night fragrance. It projects very well for the first couple hours, and kinda starts dying down around the 3 hr mark, not very noticeable around 4 hours unless someone is VERY close to you and then it’s completely gone at around the 5th hour. So if I had to pick a time for this definitely a date night fragrance. Will probably perform better for me in the summer time, so I guess I’ll wait to see in a few months. Overall it’s a cheap fresh Aventus alternative. Edit: So I’ve realized it really depends on the fabric you spray this one that will get you good or poor longevity. On the skin you may get 3 hours.. However on my t shirts and my jackets I can spray this on and can still smell it on my clothes the next day. Very strange. However I would say not to purchase this fragrance if you’re looking for an Aventus clone. Go with Dossier perfumes Musky Oakmoss, Afnan Supremacy or CDNIM for a decent long lasting Aventus clone.

This cologne beyond blew away my expectations. The bottle alone looks super dope and is definitely the coolest looking bottle I own. At first you get a refreshing citrus and apple bomb, similar to the other aventus clones except CDNIM's first note. It transforms slighty aromatic that can come off as smokey, but you still mainly get the citrus and apple notes. $30 for a 100ml bottle is well worth the blind buy. Insurrection is very similar, but that first note is more pineapple and the drydown smells more complex and better in my opinion. Even though I prefer the insurrection scent, it doesn't last very long on my skin compared to mercedes. Mercedes doesn't last extraordinarily long either, but definitely much longer than insurrection. Great scent overall, decent longevity and dope presentation, this cologne gets a solid 8/10.

This was a blind purchase for me. After seeing that so many claimed it to remind them of Aventus. I was very skeptical. Not my first frag from Mercedes Benz so I didn't think I'd be too disappointed. This surprised me! Straight off the bat, I thought of Aventus! I'm sure it isn't a direct clone otherwise they would have added the pineapple notes. This will become my daily office scent. So fresh and lasts 5-6 hours on my skin but the projection isn't huge. Well done MB, another great fragrance. Intense has replaced Fahrenheit in my collection but this wont replace my Aventus but will definitely help my Aventus last longer as I will be reaching for this more than often.

I think if you're a fan of that sophisticated vibe Aventus gives off - you'll like this one. It does a really good job of replicating that aura of classiness that Aventus has - it's just lighter. Where Aventus has that good staying power - this one starts to fade out after a while. Mercedes Benz Select doesn't cost that much (or as much) - so you can reapply to suit your needs. Out of the few popular "clones" I have in my collection...I would rank this one at the top for replicating that familiar scent we all love. It's a very good fragrance at a very good price.

I've had a 2019 batch of this buried deep in my collection for nearly 2 years now - I broke it out earlier and I don't know how this got past me when I originally bought it. Harsh fruit on the opening but after 20 seconds it's masculine citrus, blackcurrant, apple, with a hint of smokiness. Not as well blended as Creed Aventus, but the 2019 batch of Mercedes Benz Select beats any batch of Aventus from 2019 onwards in almost every other category.
