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.

what a gorgeous smooth fragrance, dont compare this with quality of aventus , just enjoy the lemon, blackcurrant and apples , doesnt feel like a beast projector but very close to zara vibrant leather and rasasi zebra....fruity clean version of aventus kind of.white shirt or t shirt, and jeans to go with it.nice bottle.not a masterpiece but very very decent release.45 dollars perhaps a bit too high, id get it when its like 35 usd

I am happy to report this scent smells very good quality and natural, no Ambroxan vomit in this one just good, this is not like Montblanc explorer it’s Much better more natural no chemical smell. Mercedes has a hidden mango Smell it gives the perfume good depth, it’s more on the fresh green side without being sweet also it’s not smokey or woody. It’s Aventus in new way fresh good And not expensive excellent for work days

Just got my bottle in today. So I can’t speak of the longevity yet. But my first two initial sprays were very strong! A blast of fresh fruit and spice. The projection so far is very good. Sucks that the longevity has so many poor reviews though. This could have been my new go to. Guess I’ll see how it performs all around for me and that will be the deciding factor on if i keep it or get rid of it.

The best Aventus clone out there. Nice presentation, good longevity, quality juice, fruity, fresh, sexy, manly. It's Aventus simplified but, as others said, replicates very well the Aventus aura.

Mercedes-Benz Select offers a fresh, modern scent that’s perfect for Spring and Summer. It opens with bright bergamot and black currant, followed by a crisp apple and mint heart, with a smooth dry-down of ambroxan, musk, and patchouli. The fragrance shares a similar DNA to Mont Blanc Explorer and Creed Aventus, offering a fruity, fresh vibe with a musky base. It’s versatile and works well for casual office wear, gym sessions, or a day at the beach. The sleek bottle also reflects the classy Mercedes-Benz branding. However, the performance is underwhelming. Projection is weak, and longevity is disappointing—it sits close to the skin and fades quickly. Reapplication and overspraying is necessary to keep it going throughout the day. Mercedes-Benz Select is a clean, pleasant fragrance that’s easy to wear and ideal for the warmer months. While it doesn’t have the staying power of some other options, it’s still a solid choice for anyone after an affordable, fresh scent with an Aventus-like vibe. If you like the same vibe with a slightly stronger scent try Mont Blanc Explorer.

Bought it few days ago (50ml bottle) Still testing, but my Initial impressions are quite positive. Opens with strong citrus/green combo, and stays fresh throughout the day. I have never tried Aventus so I can't make comparison, but I don't smell any pineapple note in the opening. Perfume smells "serious", that's the word I would use to describe it, it's not overly sweet, doesn't try to follow current trend. It's sharp/precise/cold... As for longevity, I have to say currently it's quite weak, few hours max, hopefully this will change as it grows older. Had the same issue with MB Cologne, but after month or two is was way stronger. At the end, it's a nice, business perfume... nothing magnetic, intoxicating, sexy about it....(as in official presentation). As for the bottle design, I prefer other Mercedes bottles better (rounded ones). They look far more elegant and sophisticated. Funny thing about 50ml bottle, cap is almost bigger than the bottle itself... Will post my score in a couple of weeks. Cheers,

Select begins with sharp, airy bergamot and a platter of tropical fruits. Experienced noses will immediately be reminded of Aventus, Explorer and their kin. Select does dial down the woodiness and smoke found in its brethren, displaying a mostly fruity heart. The fruit accord is synthy but pleasant, but rather polite in its projection. The bergamot is surprisingly long lasting. The dry down is a familiar combination of ambroxan, patchouli and woody & musky fixatives. Performance is average on my skin. Overall, this is a well blended and appealing scent. Yet, to hobbyists, this isn't very original. A very safe present, blind buy worthy for a budget conscious man, and a reasonable clone of the much more expensive Aventus (Creed). However, in the same price range, I do believe the Explorer (Montblanc) is a better scent with largely the same accords and structure.

Nothing ground-breaking but still very nice. For the price, I think this is hard to beat. Opening is just lots of lemons with a touch of pepper in the background and something that reminds me a tad of bubblegum (without the excessive sweetness). Mid smells straight up like Escada Sentiment but mixed with lots of lemon. Dry-down goes into CDNIM territory... but with lots of lemon. This is a very nice Spring and Summer fragrance. For Fall, it's alright. It may be a little too sharp in very cold weather. Unfortunately, it doesn't last very long on my skin, maybe 1.5 hour. After that, a respray is needed. Recommended.

On its own this frag is brilliant, pleasant scent profile that will do great for office wear. Don’t get this as a clone of Aventus, there are better ones out there. Get this if you have the other two Mercedes Benz Select frags, select day is brilliant for warmer climates, select night is the sexy one and this one is versatile enough for any season and any occasion. These Mercedes Benz frags have decent longevity and juices are of great quality, not beast mode or anything of the sort but they are nicely crafted and unique enough cause most people usually overlook this house.

I guess my batch is different. On my skin it is only dark and bitter wood. like dark chocolate with tons of wood with a very light citrous hint. Very rustic and intense. I don't get any fruity nuance on this. After 2 hours it calms down the wood stat and has more musk and mineral/amber to get more gentle and less rustic. It reminds some Axe and Old Spices deodorant vibe. It is a really nice fragrance but thanks god I bought the travel size bottle. Definatelly not for me. Medium perfomance: around 6 hours and strong sillage for 2 hours

Smells good, fresh, fruity but doesn't last one bit. You have to shower with this fragrance if you want it to last more than 3 hours. But for those 3 hours you will smell so clean. The bottle is high quality, heavy glass, nice click cap. Only gripe is the performance, as mentioned lasts 3-5 hours with good projection for the first hour then becomes a skin scent you can catch whiffs of. Dont go out of your way to get this, if its available for cheap worth the pickup.

This stuff smells great, got this and Mercedes Man at the same time. I am just really sad this thing does not last. I put this and Man on a thing of cardboard to smell and overnight Select was almost completely gone, while Man was still going decently strong. I put Select on my skin and about 1 hour later it is about 75% gone.

To me this smells more like afnan supremacy silver. Afnan is just about the same price projects longer and stronger. All in all they are both creed clones at the end of the day. I just think if you are wanting a creed clone there are better options out there for around the same price point.

Yes it is reminescent of fruity non smoky Aventus. But it is very simple non complex interpretation of Aventus. Black currant and ambroxan are most prominent here. Performance is avarage. Nice scent ovrrall when not compared to Aventus. Bought it for 26$ and its good price for what it is.

I like it. Yes, another "clone" of Aventus, but a bit different than the other clones or inspired by scents of Aventus. It has its own twist. Very fruity and citrus heavy scent. Pleasant. Compliment getter. Great for spring and great for the office.
