The Move

The Move is a fresh men's fragrance from the German house Mercedes-Benz, composed by Dominique Ropion and released in 2019. Freshness is what everyone notices; most also find it floral, and a third pick up spice, wood, amber and citrus.

Grapefruit opens it bright and slightly bitter, with cardamom adding a cool, aromatic spice. Sea water, sea notes and salt give it a clean, briny, open-air freshness that runs through the heart, where apple blossom and geranium add a light, green floral tone. The base turns woody and warm with balsam fir, resinous and faintly sweet, and tonka bean for a smooth, soft finish.

It is marketed as masculine and has the character of a clean, modern daytime scent, suited to warm weather, sport and the office, for someone who likes salty freshness with a soft woody landing rather than a sweet one.
