Good but unexceptional resinous leather that is very affordable
This review is based on a full bottle I have, which I bought after testing a sample. Bentley for Men Intense is an inexpensive woody, leather fragrance that is mature and innocuous, albeit unexceptional. It is recommended primarily for its affordability.
The opening notes are beautiful with a sweet burst of incense, geranium and some pepperiness. I would have preferred a stronger longer-lasting opening with a better personality. These notes are mild and muddled making it difficult to identify the source of sweetness. Soon after, the heart notes overtake everything. The heart notes are labdanum resin and leather for my nose. A mild sweetness persists in the heart notes. There is no noticeable transition from heart notes to base notes. The mildly sweet floral note disappears and some woody notes come up. The descriptions on various website include sandalwood and cedar in the base notes. It is possible these are the base notes, but I am unable to separate the different strands. The whole muddled olfactory pyramid is why various websites report the notes and the pyramid differently.
Bentley For Men Intense shows good performance. This perfume lasts on my skin for 6-8 hours, but the sillage is mediocre. In summary, this is an adequate leathery scent whose most important quality is its low price. I can’t complain much when it costs only $32.
For a while I thought I got a faulty bottle Bentley Intense from Jomashop because I couldn’t smell many notes listed on Fragrantica. These missing notes include rum, cinnamon and bergamot. I have attached the official Bentley perfume website below to compare the official olfactory pyramid. I wonder if the reviewers on Fragrantica and Parfumo have ever tested this perfume, of if they are being unduly influenced by the notes listed on the external websites. This is not a boozy, floral perfume with cinnamon. There is no rum, cinnamon or bergamot in this perfume. It is unfortunate that many reviewers are compromising on accuracy to produce a more colorful review. It is also possible that many folks are confusing Bentley for Men with Bentley For Men Intense.

In summary Bentley For Men Intense is a nice affordable, woody leather perfume, but it is not a Hall Of Fame candidate. Buy it if you need an inoffensive mild leather scent that doesn’t cost much.
