I heard people talkin’ ’bout this thing, what’s it called? Mercedes Benz air cologne. Sounds fancy, huh? What’s that? Is it somethin’ rich folks use? I reckon it’s one of them newfangled things. Well, I don’t know much ’bout it, but I’ll tell ya what I heard.
This Mercedes Benz, they make cars, right? Big, shiny cars. Now they makin’ smell-goods? That’s a new one. They got this air stuff, and they got, like, that water stuff, cologne. That’s what them city folks wear. Smells strong, sometimes too strong. My old man, he just used soap. He didn’t need no fancy Mercedes Benz air cologne.
But these young folks, they like all this stuff. They say this Mercedes Benz stuff, it’s the good stuff. They say it makes you smell like a million bucks. Well, I don’t got a million bucks, so I wouldn’t know. But I seen some of these bottles, they are small and expensive. They say 20 million happy customers, well, I ain’t one of them yet.
They say you can get it for men, this Mercedes Benz air cologne. And they got all kinds, they got somethin’ called “Select Night”. Sounds like somethin’ you wear when you go out dancin’. They say it’s a “promo” now, this November 2024. Don’t know what that means, but maybe it’s cheaper? I only buy my colognes from the drug store and that’s the good stuff, I don’t care what the youngsters say. The Mercedes Benz air cologne is more than I need in my life, thank you very much!
And the bottles, they’re all glass and fancy-lookin’. One of ’em, it’s 4 ounces, they say. That ain’t much, is it? And it costs, get this, $37.14! For a little bottle of smelly water! Free shippin’, though. Still too much! These young folks, they got more money than sense. My grandson, he wears this stuff. Says it makes him smell “woody”. What’s that even mean? He smells like a tree? Back in my day, we’d have a good laugh at a man who smells like wood.
They got other kinds, too. This Mercedes Benz air cologne, it’s part of a set. They got “AIR”, and “SEA”, and “LAND”. What is that, the whole dang earth? You gotta wear ’em all together, they say. Sounds like a lot of work to me. Just to smell good. I just splash on some water and I’m good to go. Some folks do like to make it complicated, do they?
They got all these fancy names for the people who make this stuff, too. Fabrice, Olivier, Philippe, Anne, Michel…sounds like a whole bunch of them French folks. They’re the ones makin’ this Mercedes Benz air cologne. Probably wearin’ it, too. They are probably used to expensive things, I mean, making a cologne for Mercedes? You gotta be fancy. It ain’t somethin’ a simple person like me is used to. They say to ask folks what they wear, and you will be surprised. I guess that is one way to get into this whole cologne thing.

I don’t know, this whole Mercedes Benz air cologne thing is a bit much for me. I’m happy with my regular soap. But if you’re into that sort of thing, then I guess it’s alright. Just don’t come ’round me if you’re wearin’ too much of it. It gives me a headache. These new things, they’re always so strong.
My neighbor, she got some of this for her husband. He works down at the factory, but he likes to smell nice, she says. She said he sprays it on his clothes before he goes to work. I don’t know if it helps him work any better. Maybe it does. Maybe it makes him feel important, wearin’ that Mercedes Benz air cologne.
But me, I’m stickin’ to what I know. I don’t need no fancy smells to feel good. Just a good day’s work and a nice meal, that’s all I need. And maybe a little bit of that rosewater my daughter gave me. That’s nice and light. Not like that strong Mercedes Benz air cologne. I do not think that the young generation will ever understand us old folks. It’s a different world, and these young people have different views. I am used to this old way, and I like it, I am an old dog that can’t learn new tricks, but that is okay!
Well, I reckon that’s all I know about this Mercedes Benz air cologne. It’s a lot of fuss about nothin’, if you ask me. But to each their own, I always say. If it makes you happy, then go for it. Just don’t expect me to understand it. My son told me you should visit stores and ask around, but I ain’t doing that! I’ll just stick to what I know, thank you very much. This whole thing is just too complicated for me. Well, I need to go and feed my chickens.
