Mercedes-Benz Select Night

Worth it 100%!! A lot of people compare it to Tom Ford Noire Extreme they don’t smell exactly alike. I can see it gives that impression of TF Noire Extreme maybe because of the spices but they aren’t identical. Mercedes-Benz Select Night is gorgeous and a fall/winter scent and is meant for formal wearing and date nights, especially in a suit. This composition is terrific and blended nicely. I already see YouTubers are hyping this fragrance up. At one point it was about $34 now I’m seeing it range anywhere from $47-$60 and that’s at discounters. Also, it’s very hard to get a bottle of it as well most places are sold out on this. If you like soft spicy fragrances that include cardamom, cinnamon, anise, etc this should be on your fragrance purchase list. This fragrance has that Indian dessert kulfi vibe but still not like TF noire extreme. But it does smell gourmand-ish like the soft spicy Indian dessert called kulfi. Projection: This is an EDP concentration and it lasts on clothes for a very long time. On the skin, I would say 8-9 hours at least on my skin. The Sillage on Mercedes-Benz Select Night is incredible for cold nights out this stuff cuts through the wind like butter and everyone walking past you can smell you and will probably compliment you. This stuff is 10/10 I wouldn’t wear this in the summer because it can be clothing in the Heat. Final thoughts: Hurry up and buy this because the price is steadily creeping up at a lot of discounters and is hard to come by. This would make a perfect Christmas gift. Also perfect occasion to wear this fragrance is now in the winter.

Absolutely one of the best in my collection. This stuff is underrated by miles and miles. As the reviewer below me noted, if this had been released by one of the big 'niche' houses, it would be a massive hype-beast. It is known for a similarity to TFNE, but honestly, it isn't as close as the reviews here make it seem. I should say, this is what TFNE wishes it was. I had (and subsequently sold) a bottle of TFNE after my wife complained that I smelled like a I had stolen one of my daughters' fragrances to wear. This is BETTER than TFNE in every possible way. Select night is a HUGE performer, and the level of complexity this has is incredible at this price point. Masculine, spicy, deep, rich, but totally wearable imho regardless of circumstance. This can be worn casually, or dressed up. I'd hesitate to wear it in warm weather, but other than that it has a good amount of versatility. If you like TFNE, but find it too feminine or weak, give this a go. It is inexpensive, and punches well above its price point (and rating as well).

The initial opening is a citrus and spicy scent with an undertone of clean floral notes. 15 Min - I am starting to pick up on the Orange Blossom note and it is proivding some balance to the citrus and spice. 30 Min - The vanilla scent from the Guaiac Wood note is starting to come through along with the Orange Blossom giving this a creamy sweet and floral scent profile. At 90 minutes into the wear I am getting a creamy Vanilla and soft wood scent profile with a slight earthiness bringig some balance to the sweetness. Dry Down: The dry down of this fragrance is a beautiful Vanilla and soft woody scent that really provides a comforting scent for a date night of cozy evening. Performance: Projection of this fragrance is Good with the frangrance creating a scent bubble of about 2 Feet for about 2 Hours. The sillage is also Good with a scent trail of about 2+ feet for about 2+ hours. Longevity is OK with the fragrance lasting on my skin about 5 to 6 hours, and becoming a skin scent at about 3 hours.

The moment I smelled MBSN I was instantly transported back to my teens. The initial spray and first few hours were an exact copy of an incense I had multiple boxes of back then. The scent was bright fruity and crisp with creamy woods and a dash of floral. As it progressed I found a fresh sweetness, woody nuances, and a touch of soft laundry like notes all mingling together. After drying down the fragrance is still woody, powdery, and maintained the laundry/linen vibe. The atomizer on the bottle is superb and sprays hearty blasts so you won't need more than two realistically, but that's personal preference. I was able to get a solid day of longevity and strong projection. Pretty sure you could still smell this on clothing for quite some time after wearing them. Glad I took the chance and grabbed it based on research beforehand. Not getting the Noir Extreme comparisons though, at least not the original run of NE anyway.

The smell of this fragrance is quite addictive and luxurious but it is quite strong. After like 2 hour it feels a lot weaker just spray a bit more with this one and it can last up to 9 hours. It does change not to much but it is not completely linear though.Great bang for buck. Scent 9/10 Longevity 8/10 Projection 8.5/10 Sillage 8.5/10 Value for money 9.5/10 Overall 8.8/10 For the scent I get mostly cardamom, lavender, orange blossom, woods and vanille. First 2 hours 5 feet projection and can cut through the cold like butter with great sillage. After that it becomes pretty much a skin scent. I bought 2 spare 100ml 3.4 oz testers for $48 so value is really good on this one if you already had one.
