The fastest Bentley
Get in, step on the gas all the way, the strong but somewhat watery lemon and spices immediately give it their all and give off a 90s vibe in cockpit proximity. The closeness to Azzaro's Chrome is clear to see, except with the peppers and tea it has a touch more depth to the overall scent. But just as quickly as it came, it disappears with squealing tires.
Overall, a great fragrance, but this Bentley is nothing to become sociable. He was built for people who value functionality. Apply, smell good, pull through the job quickly and be back home around noon. He does the job well, though.
Sillage is weak, longevity is okay and the scent is great. Flacon is like the others very solid, valuable and nice to look at. He is not a must have, but I'm glad to have him in my collection. For the price of under 20€ one makes here absolutely nothing wrong.

Whoever tames a Viking deserves attention!
I am already for many months in possession of a sample of this fragrance, which I had ordered here in the souk, because I'm pretty new to the niche world and the price is far from my pain threshold for blindkäufe. I waited a very long time to review it, as I was too euphoric for a long time and my review would certainly not be very objective. But now half a year later, I just have to get rid of this here and with a little distance to the thought of how I would rate the fragrance, I must confess that absolutely nothing has changed. :-)
The only problem I had with it was the thought that as a man I probably couldn't possibly wear a fragrance with rose, but that thought is far off. Very far even.
Creed welcomes the Viking with Calabrian bergamot and the Sicilian lemon very fruity and citrusy, but lets him be Viking and before he even marches towards the mainstream, the warrior is captured by the two tingling peppercorns and become on a wonderfully fragrant bed of rose, fresh mint and velvety lavender, which was carpentered from solid sandalwood. Even before the Viking can go on a rampage because it's all starting to get too feminine for him, as he's used to harsher environments, the base notes come through in the form of masculine patchouli and vetiver and he slowly starts to feel visibly comfortable. I find it hard to believe that I actually described the scent like that now, but the perfume does something to me that I never had before and what can you do for your feelings and preferences.
The durability is nothing earth-shattering, but within reason. 6-7 hours it lasts with me and is the first 3-4 hours of it very noticeable. I have no idea how this fragrance is received by womankind, whether it brings compliments or whether it even suits me, but I do not care. This will be my fragrance for many years, so get used to it ;-)
The perfume is in my eyes the absolute star from the house of Creed and has its place in my cabinet already secure. Thanks again to the user who has sent me the sample.

With Coke or on the rocks?
This question was the first thing that came to my mind when I smelled the bottle. Very alcoholic, very sensual and very spicy. I got directly desire for a Captain Morgan or Southern Comfort in front of the fireplace.
Freshly sprayed on, I then also knew what Bentley means by Intense in the version. Old Swede, the has Bums! The opening is really fierce and not for the faint of heart or those who looks for a unisex and / or gentle men's fragrance. Initially put off and sniffing, I pondered and introspected if the scent was for me. At first I thought no, but what happens on drydown is phenomenal to my nose. The scent becomes less aggressive, softer, sweeter and leatherier.
After 30 minutes, it has already become one of my favorite scents and I went straight for the leather jacket from the wardrobe! In the cool temperatures, it unfolds wonderfully and meets my taste full on the twelve. Pepper, leather, rum for the sweetness and the patchouli come more and more to the fore, the longer you wear it.
The durability is great! An eight-hour workday he survives easily and should also project properly in the first 2-3 hours.
My first real bull's eye on the Blindbuys. Am absolutely happy!

Don't sleep a wink!
...to say it in the language of the target audience. I work in sales and I notice this scent every day. Really every day.
Mostly it is young men who do some quick shopping and then go on a party tour. Young, noisy boys who the girls like and generally want to attract attention.
For years I didn't know which fragrance it was, which I often perceived as such, until I bought it as a present (as a blind buy) for my younger brother, but of course I didn't give it away until I had tested it myself. ;-)
The opening is scratchy, bitter and loud for my nose. The grapefruit (or grapefruit peel, as I have read elsewhere) sticks out, then the maritime scents come and after a short time the jasmine tries to say hello, but is drowned over and over again by the wild grapefruit (peel). After a short time the colleagues come into the shop and let their masculinity run free in the form of patchouli, oakmoss and ambergris. From this point on the scent has something I like and slowly I get into party mood and am about to ask if I can come along, but then suddenly the disillusionment. I can't come at all, because I have to work. I can't just lock the store and reason wins out again. The scent doesn't change anymore, it remains as I perceive it all the time. It doesn't become gentler or milder, which I had hoped for a long time, because the durability is really good, I think.
Good thing I didn't ask to come. To me it would have been too loud anyway and above all too narrow in the party rooms of our surroundings.
And so the boys and girls move away again. Just as loud and conspicuous as they came in and leave me with the feeling that maybe I'm not quite the party type after all.
Long speech, no sense at all: the scent is noticeable, loud and wants to be perceived. So for me it's not an everyday scent, because I'm more of a quiet companion.
I like the fragrance itself and understand very well why it is so well received, but I would not buy it myself.

First contact in 2020
I bought this fragrance blind this year because I am not a fan of the summer scents that have been released over the last few years.
The fragrance opens very intensely. I didn't know the ingredients exactly, so I thought I smelled grapefruit, lemon or lime or something similar. In any case, the opening is very citric and a bit sour for still "trainees - noses" like mine.
After some time this fragrance becomes milder and above all softer, which makes it very pleasant for my nose. This is probably due to the sandalwood. Additional notes such as musk and vetiver in the dry down made me understand why this fragrance is called pour homme.
When I got the first compliments for the fragrance, I suddenly liked it even more and I wore it the whole week with great enthusiasm, as the durability is also really good. The following week came the "disillusionment". I hardly noticed it after 1-2 hours and there were no more comments from others, which made me realize that this fragrance unfolds its full splendor when it is really hot, because it was much cooler in week 2 than the week before (35 degrees).
Conclusion: For my "beginner's nose" a Yuzu bomb, which becomes softer in the dry down and develops into a very masculine and versatile fragrance. It also performs very well at high temperatures! I like it very much and I don't regret any of the few Euros the fragrance has cost compared to the other current summer scents
