FRAGRANCE | Mercedes-Benz Le Parfum: A confident scent that lacks confidence

Image
From Bentley (with its oh-so-good  Bentley for Men Intense ), to Ferrari and Mercedes-Benz , car-branded fragrances often surprise me with how good they turn out to be relative to their fairly affordable pricing. I may not be able to afford a Mercedes-Benz sedan but at least I can get myself a bottle of Mercedes-Benz Le Parfum without first poring painstakingly over my finances. 

FRAGRANCE | Mercedes-Benz Addictive Oriental EDT by Alberto Morillas: A safe and pleasant nice-to-have

I feel like car-branded fragrances don't get that much love despite some really good releases that are worthy of praise, like Bentley for Men Intense and a couple of others from Ferrari . Mercedes-Benz also has several noteworthy scents, including those from their 2015 Mercedes-Benz VIP Club collection , where they partnered with some celebrated perfumers who also lent their names to the uniquely curved bottles. I got hold of a bottle of Addictive Oriental by Alberto Morillas . I admit that I was enamored by the name probably more than anything. The heavy, purple bottle doesn't hurt either. Although I didn't care that much about them at the start, later in my fragrance journey I've come to recognize a few superstar perfumers, Morillas being one of them. He single-handedly restored my faith in Gucci with his gorgeously dry and very masculine Gucci Guilty Absolute .
