Bentley For Men Azure

I received my 10ml sample of this heavenly fragrance and omg... This...is what I have been looking for. This is just...the most magnificent fragrance...the scent...the performance...the longevity...just perfection!! It starts off with a beautiful hit of pineapple and light citrus...then the citrus fades and the luscious VIOLET comes to the forefront and holds hands with the pineapple. Then they walk together over to the hill of black tea leaves and the three of them frolic together...creating the most beautiful crescendo of blended scents. There they jump and run and frolic in pineapple-violet-tea beauty until they tire out 6 hours later and the three of them walk over to the cashmere fields holding hands. There, the three of them lie down together and take a nice long nap for 2 more hours...wrapped in soft warm vanilla cashmere softness...making the most beautiful and warm cloud of scent that the angels up above take appreciation of. I am definitely in-love with this fragrance...and it's a game-changer. I put it on at 0730 this morning and I'm STILL getting wafts of it at 18:56 in the evening. This is I-N-S-A-N-E performance!!! Prior to this, "Burberry - Touch" was my signature scent because I just love the powdery violet and the accompanying notes...it's just heavenly to me, but the performance is through the floor! I have to have a bottle of it stashed everywhere I go just to stay smelling like it all day. One at home, Another at work, another little 1.0oz in the truck...it's maddening. With "Bentley - Azure" I just have to spray it on (6 shots - both sides of neck, back of neck, 3 on chest/abdomen) in the morning...and it lasts ALL DAY!!!! LITERALLY....ALL DAY!! The sun is going down now and it's just now starting to fade out... I had such a great day smelling myself with that beautiful magnificent scent. I don't even care if no one else likes it...I LOVE IT!! This is THE most beautiful mix of scents that I think I've ever had the privilege of enjoying. I had a feeling about this fragrance when I read about it here on the site. I have spent money on other fragrances trying to build the perfect scent by layering and it's kinda worked out...but this fragrance is everything I was trying to do...in one bottle. I guess I can sell that bottle of CDNIM, this is more my kinda pineapple scent...and it doesn't smell like 30 million other guys out there. The only sad thing is that I had seen it at Burlington way back when I started this scent-walk months ago in June. I laughed at it because it was a "Car Manufacturer" scent and giggled that "...it probably smells like overpriced-underperforming luxury new car scent". Boy was I wrong...and boy am I eating crow now. Not only because this fragrance is heaven-sent, but I could have bought a 3.3oz bottle for $12.99 that day. **CRY****CRY****CRY****CRY****CRY****CRY****CRY****CRY****CRY****CRY****CRY****CRY****CRY** Instead, I bought a bottle of "Kenneth Cole - Signature" with my $20.00 and "Bentley - Azure" is a whole echelon above friggin "kenneth cole - signature". Ignorance is bliss...til you realize how stupid you were later on... =[ Ah well, now I have to pay full price for a bottle, AND it's sibling "Bentley - Black Edition". I may take a short stay in the dog-house and get in trouble with the wife. I know I'm supposed to be taking it easy with my fragrance purchases...but this can't wait. I need those two fragrances in my life...in full 3.3oz bottles...and I need them NOW! I need them like yesterday! Yeah...I'm taking the plunge...if yall don't hear from me for a while, just know that I ordered both bottles of cologne...and I'm being buried with them...happily...lol. EDIT: I finally figured out what this smells like. I was looking through my old decants from the early 2000s and I found a small sample of "Creed - Himalaya" and sure enough...Azure smells JUST like it!

It's been 42 C out here the past few days and I have been pretty much only looking at the freshies section of my frag wardrobe and Bentley Azure has been getting quite a bit of usage along with Silverlake, Cool Water Intense, Lalique White and a couple of others. Let's face it, a dry 42 degree heatwave is going to evaporate anything you put on right off your skin, especially if you work outdoors like I do so looking for longevity is pretty much a nonstarter. So I am definitely not taking out my more expensive Xerjoff Nios and Creed Pure white colognes. All that being said, Azure is an overlooked winner in the heat. It's pretty much Bentley's take on Chrome, just jazzed up and updated a bit, taking out the metallic parts and adding juicier, fruitier citrus notes. I wore quite a bit of Chrome back in the late 90's and have good memories attached to it so Azure hits a lot of familiar comforting notes. The citruses up top are lush and juicy, Bergamot and pineapple, perks you right up. The mid I mostly get tea and something else, maybe the lavender. The base dries down to a non descript musky, woody tonka mild sweetness. All the magic here is basically up top. Longevity right now is around the 4 hour mark but that could just be the high heat melting it right off me. I have a feeling this will last a bit longer once the monsoon hits these parts end of June. In conclusion, I would say Azure does everything it was designed to, a great fresh summer frag that smells good even when you sweat through it and is affordable enough that you can over spray without second thoughts. If you happen to live anywhere with high heat in summers, do check this out. It's really good. PS. if you want the ADG DNA and slightly better performance, pick up Bentley Silverlake. I have both and have been alternating between the two.

This is a very nice fresh scent alternative to Mont Blanc's Legend Intense. It may even be a better option with all factors considered. Azure has a fresh almost soapy vibe going on making it perfect for warm weather. This scent is not quite beastly (12+ hours) but considering the style of fragrance, it can be considered a beast among its peers so to speak. I got 8+ hours wearing it and it projects well throughout as i receive many compliments when i put this on. The main difference between Azure and Legend Intense is sweetness and performance. Legend Intense is way more sweet due to the apple and synthetic amber which makes it far better suited for a younger person of the two scents. Azure is more mature and sophisticated. The dry down smells of success which I'd imagine is what heads of the frag division of the Bentley brand was aiming for (although they simply made a more mature version of a known scent). Performance wise its a clear win for Azure. Azure lasts a lot longer than Legend Intense and projects more for a longer period as well. This is also a versatile scent. It can be worn dressed up or down and can be worn year round due to its above average performance. I believe it would shine most during warmer weather but this can definitely be the skeleton key for all situations and all seasons. Drawbacks to this scent is that it could be considered a clone which in it self isnt a horrible thing at all unless your a frag snob. If this describes you, you may want to skip this. But this scent has made me neglect Legend Intense. I barely reach for it now and that says a lot. Other than that critique this is a great fragrance worthy of a buy. 8/10 YouTube Channel- Simply Put Scents

I'm testing this fragrance for 2-3 years on and off. Tester bottle is on display in one perfumery around my home. My first test was side by side with Bentley for men Intense. I'm much more in the oriental and boozy scents so I've bought Bentley Intense. My first sight on Bentley Azure was in in one very cold winter (-10°). Was very salty experience with a little bit of metal like smell and a little bit of bitter smell. It was on my watch strap forever. I've tested it yesterday again on my skin. It was around 20°. Perfect scent for a spring time. The start is a bit pungent. Again salty with that violet and pineapple accord blended in perfectly. First plan is the salt, second is that fruity accord and after that is a little but, just a pinch of sweetness. Sits around the same for 10 hours for me. Projection and sillage are lovely. It has nothing to do with aquatics for me. It's a different facet. In a different race track. I'm 29 years old right now. If I have to choose summer scent I'll that instead of Bvlgary Atlantique and Aqva Amara, or ainvictus. Azure smell is more luxurious and mature.

Amazing Amazing Amazing!! So I started off the year purchasing some more fragrances to add to my collection including this one.. First off the presentation looks really nice.. Good quality box and the bottle is a work of art.. Nice blue ombré theme on the bottom half of the glass.. a nice metal cap that is fit on tightly does not click into place or is not a magnet.. Now to talk about the juice.. I sprayed 2 sprays on my wrist about 5 minutes ago and it’s projecting like a beast.. The first thing I get is a pineapple punch with lingering florals which would be the violet leaf.. there is a lavender tea note lingering in the background.. This stuff smells very nice and very well made.. I would say that this fragrance can be worn year around and in any occasion.. Great for work, afternoon hang outs, date nights and even formal activities.. Smells amazing 8.8/10 in my book
