Select

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.

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.

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.

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.
