Sign Your Power

Today I'm testing Sign Your Power by Mercedes-Benz and I'm wow! Just wow! This new scent goes far beyond my expectations! Wonderful opening, bold, sexy, juicy, spicy... I can feel the sweet plum, the cozy warm spices...mmmm so sexy, so alluring... Later the amazing cacao vibe is getting stronger and it's kind of similar to the aroma of Kokorico by Jean Paul Gaultier! AMAZING! Warm, seductive, spicy, juicy, bold, rich and powerful night time treasure! If you love cozy and delicious Autumn-Winter fragrances, Sign Your Power is 100% for you! Try it if you love Kokorico by Jean Paul Gaultier or Viktor&Rolf Spicebomb Extreme / Spicebomb Infrared , or A*Men Mugler The Taste of Fragrance and in some ways it reminds me of Ard Al Zaafaran Tafakhar, which I have and love with amazing plum note. On my skin, the most powerful and key notes of Sign Your Power are: Cinnamon, Plum, Cacao, Patchouli and creamy Amber. Davana is here also to give balance, more complex and deep character of the scent.It gives kind of green-herbal aspect, and the red wine gives smooth and velvet fruity accord. This scent is absolute stunner! It got everything to be described as the perfect cozy, delicious and rich Autumn scent. The bottle is beautiful and the performance is excellent! Really great performer. Sign Your Power is another great scent by Mercedes-Benz and the perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin - great job! I'll get a bottle for sure.

As the opening suggests you get a spicy opening that is well blended and smooth driven by the red wine (cranberry juice smell) in the background, that is not syrupy sweet slight tartness just the perfect balance between sweetness, tartness and spiciness, not very overpowering, its a well blended opening not harsh in any way. Then throughout the dry down you'll get the red wine listed above, driven by plum and cacao in the background which will give you a fruity spicy very attractive scent, at the end it will switch to a tart gourmand smell and the cacao will become more noticeable with the red wine and plum in the background, it really smells like something i want to eat. It projects strongly at the first 1-2 hours then it becomes closer to the body bellow 1 foot of projection and eventually fades away 5-6 hours after applying, the weather does affect the performance so im expecting it to last longer in colder days. Overall its a unique scent, never smelled anything like it before, its very attractive and will set you apart from other people, the longevity may not be the best but for the price you get a good quality smell and 5-6 hours of smelling good so there is nothing to complain about.

Very similar to my bottle of Burberry London (circa 2012, no idea how many reformulations it has gone through since then or what current London smells like). I'd say 75% similar, but it's the differences that shine and actually lead me to prefer Sign Your Power (SYP). Both fragrances have a core of fruity wine and Christmas spice. London is mulled wine and gingerbread and anise cookies while SYP is a dark Malbec with chocolate cookies covered in a plum compote, with a side of cranberry juice. Both sit on a base of tobacco leaf and cedar, but again SYP is darker, aubergine and black, where London is more burgundy and brown. SYP is a bit fruitier throughout, and has no perceptible mimosa like London. I'd say SYP is slightly more overtly sexy while London feels more distinguished gentleman. If you love London, or you love scents that smell of Thanksgiving or Christmas or just want a dark fruity/spicy woody tobacco scent you owe it to yourself to check this scent out.

Just purchased from their site, I will leave an actual REAL review when it comes in haha Club Black and Le Parfum are two favorites in my collection, so naturally this one caught my eye. UPDATE: This is TREMENDOUSLY beautiful. I'm writing this as it's developing on my arm, and oh boy... I haven't a ton of experience with notes of Davana or Red Wine - but it seems Fabrice has culminated something here worthy of every penny I paid! (And I would have paid a lot more now that I have my nose on it). I can't speak for the performance catagory just yet (even though it seems to by getting LOUDER as it dries!) but if you consider yourself a fan of dark, juicy, and dang near edible scents - then just blind buy. Also, I'm sorry I have nothing to compare this to, it stands on its own! Very well done Mercedez and Fabrice. Sign Your Power is walking a line most others are shying away from... and I'm here for it one hundred percent!

Just bought this fragrance. Right off the bat it has a very strong opening or the rum of cinnamon. It's definitely a bold fragrance and projects around good 3-4 hrs then becomes a skin scent. Obviously a winter fragrance and screams attention. Turns heads and has a very mature vibe to it. A good buy indeed at this budget. One thing I'd want them to improve is the atomiser:) the concept of the bottle is good but the spray mech kinda sucks
