“Lavender, cardamom, and bergamot over vanilla and creamy woods — Mercedes-Benz's budget take on Tom Ford Noir Extreme.”

Olivier Cresp's 2019 evening edition of Mercedes-Benz Select pairs lavender and cardamom with guaiac wood over a vanilla base. Woody accords lead, with warm spice, vanilla and a powdery lavender facet. Often compared to Tom Ford Noir Extreme (2015). The cardamom and lavender give the vanilla a dry, aromatic edge rather than a gourmand one. A winter and fall evening scent.
