From Mercedes-Benz Press Release
For well over a century, the iconic three-pointed star has represented the link between mobility on land, sea and air. A new trilogy of fragrances by Mercedes-Benz in cooperation with INCC Parfums revisits this idea of the three basic elements: created by French master perfumer Anne Flipo, the eaux de parfum Land, Sea and Air can be worn separately, in harmonious balance or as a personally preferred combination. The fragrances are available both as individual eaux de parfum and as a complete trilogy, the latter in special packaging where the three flasks meet in the shape of a Mercedes-Benz star.
The stylish bottles are also a homage to Mercedes-Benz: on the one hand in terms of the design, because the three flacons together form the shape of the Mercedes star when viewed from above. And on the other because the choice of materials shows a responsible approach to the elements earth, water and air. In the selection of the raw materials for the perfume, transparency with respect to origin, quality and sustainability was given just as much attention as in the production of the bottles. These are made from recycled aluminium and glass, with a removable threaded pump to allow refilling. The outer packaging is made of recyclable and biodegradable paper that contains up to 10 per cent seaweed and is produced using 100 percent renewable energy. In addition the three fragrances are available in the 30 ml size as a set, which comes in a high-quality pouch in white or brown leather according to choice. In the spirit of upcycling, waste leather from production of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class interior was used for the leather pouch.
Three fragrances, multiple wearing options
Each element of the Mercedes-Benz fragrance trilogy unfolds its own universe of scent. Thanks to the common base, the three fougère perfumes offer the possibility of layering - and can be combined in four other different ways depending on the occasion, personal preference or current mood.
The fragrance Mercedes-Benz Land combines the warm, woody touch of patchouli with slightly spicy and sensual hints of cocoa shell and tonka bean. It is rounded off by the freshness of rosemary camphor, velvety- fine hints of geranium and a trace of aromatic fir resin.
Mercedes-Benz Sea exudes the refreshing power of a crashing wave, with an intense hint of violet leaf enlivened by fruity mandarin. A salty, leathery note of seaweed rounds off the maritime character of this fragrance.
The herbily fragrant artemisia oil used in Mercedes-Benz Air has an extremely relaxing effect. It is accompanied by highly aromatic base notes of angelica and a delicate floral touch of petitgrain. The fragrance is complemented by the tangy aroma of citrus and the spiciness of turmeric leaves.
The option of layering results in four very special fragrance combinations: Land+Sea, a woody maritime fragrance; Land+Air, a woody citrus fragrance; Sea+Air, a maritime citrus fragrance; Land+Sea+Air, a woody maritime citrus fragrance.
