Bentley for Men Intense Bentley 2013

What is special about this fragrance that seemingly appears out of nowhere and dominates the ranking of men's scents? First, I would say that it offers something for almost everyone. Bentley for Men Intense is a blend of very sweet, but also leathery and rather masculine notes. A scent that could confidently be called unisex, which both men and women can wear without turning red.

The perfumers have also managed the feat of creating a fragrance that, while reminiscent of several other great and well-known scents, is still unique and unmistakable in its own way. The comparisons to Dior Homme, L'instant de Guerlain, or Amouage in general are certainly understandable, but still, one has never smelled something like this in this composition. It has a high recognition value, and you can smell it even from a crowd. That’s already a good prerequisite for a classic. Whether it will be enough for that, of course, only the next years or decades will tell.

In terms of development, I find the scent relatively one-dimensional. Only the sweetness fades a bit after a few hours, and it then smells a touch more masculine and more like leather. Right after spraying, the intense rum note immediately stands out, which you have never smelled in this form before. It smells like a fine rum cocktail that would certainly also be ordered by women in a lounge. Perfectly rounded and extremely delicious with a hint of cinnamon.
They have managed to select the fragrance components in such a way that a scent has emerged that certainly won’t bother many people. It is definitely too pleasant, enjoyable, and overall too delicious to actually dislike.
Only men who generally prefer extremely masculine scents should perhaps test it first before acquiring it.

The season is currently also perfect for this fragrance. It fits wonderfully for autumn and winter. In spring, however, I would prefer other scents, and for summer, it is definitely not recommended. In high temperatures, this scent could become a sillage monster that penetrates the surroundings.

A special mention is also deserved for the bottle, in my opinion. It has turned out beautifully, and you can tell that the designer was inspired by the theme of cars. It is a hefty, solid bottle that also looks very elegant and exudes sophistication.
For me, one of the most beautiful bottles of recent times, and they have perfectly captured the theme.

Conclusion: With Bentley for Men Intense, a very delicious fragrance has been created that definitely enriches the world of scents. Almost everything is right here. A wonderfully rounded scent with high durability, sillage, and a wonderful bottle. In my personal ranking, it might not be in first place, but it is definitely up there.
There are no rough edges to be found here. Lovers of rugged scents might want to test this Bentley first. Highly recommended for everyone else.
