Currently, the Mercedes-Benz lineup includes the C-, E-, S-, CL- and CLS- Classes (among many others); fashion wear; eyewear; watches. Clearly, Mercedes-Benzs' savvy sensibilities and deft skills extend far beyond the realm of high-horsepower engines and exquisite appointments. And they're not limiting themselves, as their plan to unveil a new men's fragrance early in 2012 indicates.

Don't worry, the fragrance doesn't reflect Mercedes-Benzs' love of the new car smell. Though, it does reflect their love for luxury and has been carefully formulated using nature's finest ingredients to convey strong, affluent masculinity, it's extremely easy to wear, and be near. In fact, we wouldn't be surprised if one or two women got a little bit closer to drink up the intoxicating scent, defined be a spicy base; warm middle note, and cool base. Among the myriad of scents Mercedes-Benz draws on are Calabrian bergamont, lemon, Italian mandarin, bourbon pepper, nutmeg, violet, galbanum resin, cedar, vetyver grass, and just a hint of patchouli (which in this instance has absolutely no hippie undertones).

What prompted Mercedes-Benz to develop their own fragrance? To be honest, Motor Werks of Barrington doesn't rightly know. It could be that fragrance goes with fashion, another one of their fortes. It could also be that they were inspired by the scents they specially developed for the atomisers found in Maybach models and the Mercedes-Benz S600 Pullman. Either way, we're ecstatic they took the leap. And, we think you'll agree, once you have the opportunity to experience it for yourself, early in the new year.
