MERCEDES-BENZ PARFUMS
The three-pointed star– an emblem of excellence and exception. A brand that cuts through history and challenges trends in a constant state of renewal.
Innovative and demanding, Mercedes-Benz is much more than just an automobile manufacturer. The 8th most recognized brand in the world, it represents over a century’s worth of expertise. Today, the brand can be found across a diverse number of fields including design, fashion and beauty, so it was only natural that, eight years ago, it decided to broaden its creative horizons even further by launching its own fragrance line.
Its perfume bottles for men and women are filled with the same singularity and renown that have made the Mercedes-Benz name since 1886: heady charm, an innate sense of detail and a passion for the rare and unexpected.
Born from a union of innovation and craftsmanship, its fragrances stand apart as the high-end products they are, with a seductive blend of strength and delicacy, romanticism and power, mystery and sophistication. An ode to elegance and an exaltation of the senses.
