Mercedes-Benz Select
by Mercedes-Benz
Mercedes-Benz Select is a fresh, fruity-citrus fragrance with a sharp opening of bergamot and black currant, followed by a crisp apple and mint middle, leading to a musky-amber drydown. It captures the essence of Aventus without the smoky, woody depth—focusing instead on a clean, lightweight fruitiness with prominent ambroxan and a subtle green musk. The scent is simple and well-blended, evoking a professional and youthful vibe, making it ideal for spring and summer days. While the initial burst is strong and pleasantly sharp, its longevity is inconsistent, lasting only moderately on skin and often fading within two to five hours. Performance varies significantly depending on fabric and batch, with some users reporting excellent hold on clothing but poor skin longevity. Despite this, many find it appealing and note its comforting, easy-to-wear quality, likening it to an affordable, lighter version of Aventus.
