The Mercedes-benz Symbol, the iconic three-pointed star, is more than just a logo; it represents a legacy of innovation, luxury, and unparalleled automotive engineering. This emblem signifies a commitment to excellence and a pursuit of perfection that resonates deeply with enthusiasts worldwide. It’s this very spirit, the essence of the Mercedes-Benz symbol, that is captured and translated into the sophisticated world of fragrance with SIGN.
SIGN impresses with its powerful presence, intensity, and lasting impression, much like the brand it represents. The fragrance opens with the vibrant top notes of cardamom, enhanced by pink peppercorn SFE, creating an initial burst of freshness that contrasts beautifully with the richer base. This complex interplay mirrors the duality of Mercedes-Benz – a brand rooted in tradition yet constantly pushing boundaries.
The heart of SIGN unfolds with a carefully curated floral bouquet. Aromatic lavender, orange blossom, rose geranium, and the rare violet leaf absolute combine to create a sophisticated balance, expertly refined by master perfumer Olivier Cresp. This composition reflects the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail synonymous with the Mercedes-Benz name. The base notes further enrich the experience, featuring tonka bean and white musk, crafting a warm and sensual foundation. Cashmere and woody patchouli SFE add depth and complexity, echoing the luxurious materials and refined interiors found in Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Notes of bitter grapefruit and crisp apple provide a refreshing counterpoint, adding another layer of intrigue to this multifaceted fragrance.
Olivier Cresp himself describes SIGN as a fragrance built around exceptional raw materials, particularly cardamom sourced from Guatemala. His vision was to encapsulate the multifaceted nature of excellence within this scent, much like the Mercedes-Benz symbol encapsulates the brand’s multifaceted values.
Reflecting Mercedes-Benz’s commitment to sustainability, the SIGN fragrance is consciously crafted. The bottle utilizes over 40% recycled glass, and the inner packaging is made from FSC-certified recycled paper. Furthermore, Mercedes-Benz, in collaboration with Firmenich, has prioritized sustainably sourced ingredients, including cardamom from Guatemala and patchouli from Java and Sumatra, supporting local farming communities and ensuring exceptional quality.
SIGN is more than just a fragrance; it’s an olfactory embodiment of the Mercedes-Benz symbol, representing its dedication to excellence, sophistication, and a forward-thinking approach, all while being mindful of environmental responsibility. It’s a scent that carries the weight of a legendary emblem, offering a new dimension to experiencing the Mercedes-Benz brand.
