Practical Sludge
"Bentley for Men Black" has a wonderfully heavy bottle and looks great on the shelf, it stands out - if only that were also somewhat true for the content or scent...
I like many of the Bentley fragrances; they often have a light tipsiness that gives them a catchy DNA and unique characteristics. But unfortunately, these are completely absent on my skin in the "Black Edition." It's nice - but never a knockout. Not even close. This library dustiness comes off rather scratchy and weak. The wood collection is indefinable. Pepper is present - but it never has any punch. And I clearly miss distinctions and nuances, highlights, and a clear scent language. Not smoky enough, not potent enough, not high-quality enough. It’s a solid all-rounder, soft and cozy. But unfortunately, it’s never good enough for me to stay longer in my collection or to be truly cherished by me. I had a different experience with some of the other Bentleys. This "special edition" could have easily stayed overseas for me. However, I’m glad it finds appeal with others. A bit of "Fahrenheit" ordered from Wish. And that shouldn't be Bentley's standard.
Bottle: black, strong, beautiful
Sillage: average scent trail
Longevity: 6-8 hours - also here it performs well on average
Conclusion: nice, but never striking papyrus all-rounder between mediocrity and effectiveness. Okay - but I miss unique features, edge, and courage.

That's right! An okay scent at a very okay price.
