Mercedes-Benz SIGN cologne immediately commands attention with its potent blend, delivering a memorable intensity and impressive sillage. This fragrance opens with a vibrant burst of cardamom, expertly fused with the zesty spark of pink peppercorn SFE. This invigorating freshness creates a compelling contrast with the cologne’s richer, vanilla-infused base, setting the stage for a truly dynamic olfactory experience.
The heart and base of SIGN reveal layers of warm sensuality. Tonka bean and white musk intertwine, crafting a comforting and alluring accord. This smoothly transitions into the deeper notes of cashmere woods and woody patchouli SFE, adding a sophisticated and lasting depth to the fragrance. Further complexity is introduced through a refreshing blend of bitter grapefruit and crisp apple, adding a bright, clean element. A meticulously crafted floral bouquet further elevates SIGN, featuring the aromatic nuances of lavender and orange blossom, the classic touch of rose geranium, and the rare and refined violet leaf absolute. This harmonious combination showcases the expertise of master perfumer Olivier Cresp, who has skillfully refined each element to achieve perfect balance in this exceptional men’s fragrance. SIGN truly embodies excellence in the world of cologne.
Olivier Cresp, the celebrated perfumer behind Sign Mercedes Benz Cologne, shares his inspiration:
“I came across some exceptional raw materials in Guatemala, notably cardamom. When I came back, I wanted to use this green gold in a new creation for men. SIGN is a wonderful, multi-faceted fragrance built around this rare spice.”
Mercedes-Benz extends its commitment to excellence beyond fragrance creation to environmental responsibility. Reflecting the brand’s forward-thinking approach, the SIGN Mercedes Benz cologne bottle is produced using over 40% recycled glass. Furthermore, the inner packaging, cradling the bottle within its box, is made from FSC-certified recycled paper, ensuring recyclability and minimizing environmental impact. Mercedes-Benz, in partnership with Firmenich, prioritizes sustainable sourcing for key ingredients in SIGN. This commitment is exemplified through collaborations with local farming communities in Guatemala for cardamom and development partnerships in Java and Sumatra to secure exceptionally high-quality patchouli. Choosing SIGN Mercedes Benz cologne is not only an embrace of sophisticated scent but also a nod to conscious and sustainable practices.
