A very pleasant composition. A bit of Terre by Hermes, a bit of Encre Noire, but Bentley Rush has its own character. The scent is luminous, fresh and sunny. I feel vetiver, pepper and mandarin the most, but we get a lot of additives thanks to which it is a vibrant and complex composition.
At first glance, we are greeted by pepper piercing the nose. I like this spice in perfumes, which is why I like the opening very much. I can reassure those who are terrified by pepper and want to sneeze at the thought - after a few minutes, the spiciness decreases and the fresh sweetness of mandarin has a greater share.
The sweet mandarin is balanced by earthy, sour vetiver, and elemi adds density to the scent. The whole thing is extremely aromatic. It is nothing groundbreaking, but it is really a very nice scent.
The only weak point is the parameters, which I regret. Longevity does not exceed 4 hours, and it projects moderately only in the first hour. Then it's a very close-to-the-skin scent and it evaporates too quickly.
I'm not complaining too much because I bought it cheaply, but I don't know if I'll buy it again. Despite that, I rate the composition itself highly. The type of scent that's perfect for spring and early, warm autumn.
