Ultimate For Men

Ultimate is the large-format flagship of the Mercedes-Benz For Men line, again from Olivier Cresp, launched in 2022.

Lavender and cedar needles set a crisp, almost coniferous opening. Apple and mandarin orange bring juice to the heart with nutmeg for spice, and then the drydown does the real work: cypress, sandalwood, patchouli and amber, warm and resinous without turning sweet.

A woody oriental with genuine staying power, and the 4 oz bottle is the one to reach for if it becomes a signature. Eau de parfum, 4 oz. For men.
