Le Parfum

Le Parfum from Mercedes-Benz is a woody, spicy and green fragrance for men, released in 2015 in parfum concentration. Woods lead, with spice and greenery close behind and lighter amber and citrus touches.

It opens with bergamot, crisp and citrusy, and pink pepper, which adds a bright, rosy prickle. The heart turns green and spicy: violet leaves bring a cool, leafy freshness, galbanum a sharp, bitter green resin, and saffron a warm, leathery spice. In the base, vetiver gives earthy dryness and agarwood, or oud, a deep, smoky, slightly animalic woodiness, with patchouli adding earthiness and amber a warm, rounded glow.

The overall effect is dark and refined, with a fresh green edge that keeps the oud from feeling heavy. It suits evenings, formal occasions and cooler months, for someone who wants a sophisticated woody scent with character.
