Sign By Mercedes Benz is more than just a fragrance; it’s an assertion of power, intensity, and remarkable sillage. This scent opens with the vibrant zest of cardamom, expertly interwoven with the spicy freshness of pink peppercorn SFE. This initial burst of energy subtly contrasts with the fragrance’s richer, vanilla-toned base, creating an intriguing duality from the first impression.
Delving deeper into the composition, the base notes of SIGN reveal a warm and sensual character. Tonka bean and white musk take center stage, crafting a smooth, inviting accord. These notes are then elegantly layered with the luxurious depth of cashmere and the earthy sophistication of woody patchouli SFE, adding layers of complexity and lasting power to the fragrance.
The heart of SIGN is where its true sophistication blossoms. Bitter grapefruit and crisp apple provide a refreshing, invigorating lift, paving the way for an aromatic floral bouquet. Lavender, orange blossom, rose geranium, and the exceptionally rare violet leaf absolute come together in perfect harmony. This carefully balanced blend, refined with passion by master perfumer Olivier Cresp, ensures a uniquely distinguished and memorable fragrance experience. Excellence, redefined in scent, is truly embodied in SIGN.
A Word from the Master Perfumer, Olivier Cresp
Olivier Cresp, the celebrated nose behind SIGN, shares his inspiration:
“During my travels, I discovered extraordinary raw materials in Guatemala, most notably cardamom. Upon my return, I was driven to feature this ‘green gold’ in a novel creation designed for the modern man. SIGN is the result – a wonderfully complex and multifaceted fragrance, built around the captivating allure of this rare spice.”
Mercedes-Benz Commitment to Sustainability
Mercedes-Benz extends its commitment to excellence beyond automotive engineering into environmental responsibility. SIGN’s creation reflects this dedication. The striking bottle is crafted with over 40% recycled glass, minimizing environmental impact without compromising luxury. Furthermore, the inner packaging, cradling the precious fragrance bottle, is produced from FSC-certified recycled paper, readily recyclable, reinforcing a closed-loop approach.
In partnership with Firmenich, Mercedes-Benz has prioritized sustainably sourced ingredients for SIGN.
