Bentley for Men Bentley 2013

I've been diligently following along here for quite some time and have been inspired by the Parfumo site and its community so often that I now dare to give my own "fragrance comment." For this, I've chosen my current favorite scent "bentley for men" (EdT) :-)

Ultimately, thanks to this site, I stumbled upon this lovely little fragrance and will try to put my still quite novice perception into words.

Right after spraying, a truly delightful and scent-defining spiciness unfolds, which fortunately is not as intense as in the EdP version of the fragrance. However, the scent quickly manages to round off the spiciness well and generate a high-quality olfactory impression. After the top note has faded a bit, the very well-executed rum/cinnamon combo takes to the stage and smells really delicious - hence the title - I love this mix and it actually reminds me of the Caribbean in some way. My girlfriend likes it too ;-)

After a few hours, this aroma disappears, leaving behind the woody/leathery base that reliably and noticeably accompanies me until the evening hours.

Longevity lasts all day for me, although the "scent cloud" does not project far - thus, the perfume is still suitable for everyday use compared to the EdP.

When do I wear it? For a normal office day, it's actually too high-end and too distinctive for me, although I have occasionally "reached for the (rum) bottle" in the mornings and chosen the scent as my companion for the day.
It currently fits best on weekends and at parties - besides the good smell, I am also excited that I haven't perceived it on anyone else in my circle so far - that has somehow become important to me...
I've also received compliments, and the ??? on the foreheads of the "untrained" when I mention the name "Bentley for men" is always amusing - it seems no one really knows what to make of it.

As for how the scent fits the upcoming summer, I'll have to see; I believe for this season, I'll pull out a few "fresher" candidates from the cabinet - until then, I hope that Bentley doesn't become boring at some point and continues to bring me much joy.
