The Move
by Mercedes-Benz
The Move by Mercedes-Benz presents a bright, sweet, and synthetic aquatic profile with a strong emphasis on apple blossom, grapefruit, and sea notes in the opening. It settles into a soft, slightly vanilla-sweet base with balsam fir and tonka bean, giving it a mild woodsy depth. The scent is notably linear and uncomplicated, with no significant development, and it delivers impressive projection and longevity for a mainstream fragrance—often considered a standout for its performance. Despite its appeal to youthful, energetic wearers, the sweetness and synthetic nature of the top notes can quickly become overwhelming for sensitive noses, making it feel cloying and even nauseating on some skin. While it lacks originality and depth, it performs well as a casual summer scent and earns praise for its strong, lasting sillage and value for price.
