Very helpful Review 4  
Great quality/price factor !
Infinite Intense provides a long-lasting and stronger composition with a higher percentage of aromas (15%). Tart black pepper leaves stronger impressions in the opening of the composition, combined with geranium, lavender and violet. The heart abounds in spicy flavors by combining nutmeg with warm resins of Siamese benzoin, elemi resins and ambergris which ensures a modern masculine scent. The base develops warmth and precious shades of woody chords, patchouli extract, Haiti vetiver and Moroccan cedar, enveloped by the sensual scent of musk.
Overall it seems to be a genuine choice for a perfect pack of quality smells in a bottle.
Quality and arrangement :8.5/10

Tzora-Lite...
Bentley Infinite Intense opens with a huge blast of black pepper with hints of underlying aromatic lavender and green geranium before moving to its heart. As the composition enters its early heart the pepper only slightly softens but remains the focus, as the earlier supporting aromatics are replaced by warm, dry nutmeg spice, piney, peppery elemi with just a hint of salty faux ambergris, and significant sharp, woody vetiver and dry cedarwood rising from the base. During the late dry-down the actual black pepper mainly vacates, as the peppery elemi remains now in support, melding with the focal remnants of the sharp vetiver and dry cedar through the finish. Projection is excellent and longevity outstanding at over 15 hours on skin.

When Bentley for Men Intense came out in 2013 by the same perfumer (Nathalie Lorson) I lauded that it was one of the best designer releases in recent memory and years later that statement still holds. As such, it was with great anticipation and seemingly little risk that when Bentley Infinite Intense was released a couple years later a blind buy was in order. It has taken me about 5 years to get around to reviewing the result of the buy, and I wish I can say that it was even close to the winner of its earlier relative, but alas I cannot. Bentley Infinite Intense is really a completely different composition than its superb smelling predecessor, with this one more in the Terre d'Hermes and Tzora vein. Anyone who has read my reviews over the years knows that I hold both in very high regard but unfortunately, while showcasing some of the same components like the Iso E Super enhanced cedar, sharp vetiver and pepper that Tzora in particular focuses on, the skillful balance and proportions of that masterpiece seem missing here. In particular the black pepper, enhanced by peppery elemi comes off so strong it had me sneezing at times (something that rarely happens). I suppose that anyone who hasn't sniffed Tzora by Anat Fritz might be at least somewhat impressed by Bentley Infinite Intense but once you have sniffed the best, relatively inferior alternatives just can't cut it and this one, while decent smelling, just doesn't even come close to measuring up. On the positive side, the bottle, like its predecessor, is superb, as are the overall performance metrics. The bottom line is the $27 per 100 ml bottle Bentley Infinite Intense may be a pretty good offering if one didn't sniff others that came earlier and smelled better in the same space, but the "above average" 2.5 to 3 stars out of 5 rated release comes up a bit short, earning a neutral recommendation.

Weak performance, wasted affordability, no intensity — YMMV
I blind-bought this and I'm very disappointed with it. It starts out nice but quickly fades to a pleasant, mild, and office-safe vetiver scent, even after 20+ sprays on my body and clothes. My nose may be at fault, though. It needs some oomph, and I'm resisting the urge to layer some Encre Noire à L'Extrême on top of it. I'll just respray it. Is it too much to ask for to be able to smell it on myself throughout the day? I should probably check with others to see if they can detect it on me but that's never a factor in my decision to buy a fragrance as I wear them for myself, not others.

Lightly wiry, somewhat cool, peppery, with a gin-like foundation - not bad
Recently, the "Absolute" by Bentley proved to be an almost equivalent substitute for the "Gucci pour homme," which many miss dearly. The 2-year-old "Infinite Intense" presents itself as an independent design in the rather clear, slightly herbal-peppery category.

The brand is stylistically broad, and that must be acknowledged. Whether you are a frankincense freak, a gourmand lover, or - now here - an office-friendly spice, many typologies are catered to here.

The opening is somewhat uneven, almost bitter-herbaceous, reminiscent of juniper berries, but likely comes from geranium, violet leaf, and nutmeg, especially the latter.

Fortunately, about 15 minutes later, black pepper and vetiver take over, making the Bentley noticeably fresh-spicy, distinctly green, and a bit lively earthy. Somehow, a hint of gin seems to play an aromatic role, though the overall composition might just create this impression.

Comparisons are drawn to "Terre d'Hermès," which is not entirely far-fetched, but still doesn't quite hit the mark for me. The Hermès is significantly more mineral, steel-like, and also fruitier with orange/grapefruit. The Bentley is noticeably greener, softer, and less intrusive.

A very decently made fragrance, if you overlook the nutmeg-heavy first quarter-hour.

Understatement to the Pain Threshold
I tested Infinite Intense for the first time today (only on skin). Right from the start, it reminded me of the Vintage Collection Vetiver by Lorenzo Villoresi. However, the Bentley is quieter, not as dominant and unruly. I don't want to call it a fragrance twin just yet, but the similarities are clearly noticeable to me.

The scent progression:

The opening is somewhat sour-peppery. Not citrusy, but rather floral underneath. It feels quite dry and somehow rough-metallic (satin-like) from the beginning. There is no trace of sweetness, nothing typically woody, nothing soft, round, or cozy. However, everything feels very clean, straightforward, almost stringent. The extremely high-quality vetiver note gives the scent profile a slightly grayed and earthier quality. The scent impression lasts for several hours. Later, it becomes a touch softer, without changing the fundamental character. Admittedly, the fragrance feels somewhat aloof and slightly cool. But you can surprisingly get used to that quite quickly. Infinite Intense has an extraordinarily linear, comprehensible, and cohesive scent progression. After 5 - 6 hours, I perceived it as a second skin. The personal scent and the perfume had completely merged.

It should also be noted that this perfume exhibited a peculiarity that I have not experienced before.
Infinite Intense influences one's own sense of smell after a few hours to the extent that other fragrances are perceived very distorted. Halfeti, Reflection Man, Caron p.H., after that everything smells like gum-sticky drugstore-shelf-bottom-quality. Really terrible. When you smell again at the spot where you sprayed the tester hours earlier..... well, I was hooked. It just smelled "Wow".

Admittedly, a very unique and "unfashionable" scent. But for those who have the courage to step off the beaten path fragrance-wise, this Bentley offers a very interesting and absolutely summer-appropriate alternative.

Further thoughts:

Going-out fragrance, summer evening, light breeze, well-groomed clothing and manners, dinner on the restaurant terrace, first day of vacation, a couple of hours of relaxed, pleasant company.
Not an office scent, never...........! For the 40+ generation.

I fully accept that not everyone will like it. But I am convinced that it will make some few very happy.

A vibe like some old-school aftershaves. Elegant lavender is like Caron 3rd Man, manly nutmeg is like PS Fine. A different way from TD'H.

A vibe of terre d'hermes DNA but it feels so much older than TDH. TDH users can be over 25, but for this you should be older than 45 i think

First peppery, greenish violet-leaf, then it becomes increasingly resinous, without getting too sweet or dark. Solid.

The scent of a successful businessman. Calm, serious, trustworthy. A shirt is the minimum requirement for this fragrance!
