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

Lovely mild aqautic fresh green citrusy soft scent pretty non offensive projects lovely soft masculine aroma for about 3 hours then slows down to 1 foot. On my skin lasts for about 5 hours and on clothes 7-8 hours. So far every scent I got from this house hasn't disappointed. If you like fresh green aquatic mild scents then it's a safe blind buy. I'm not wearing it right now so can't go note by note and transitions on hourly basis but after the lovely sweet n sour opening it remains pretty much same. The feeling is exactly like standing nearby the calm azure sea driving a convertible as shown in picture this scent is perfect for summer holidays in southern EU or Miami or on a long drive from LA to San Fran.

This is one of the FIRST fragrances I researched way back and I've had this in my frag wishlist since I started collecting strong in 2016...yet I only ever bought a 5ml decant. I've bought other "Tea" fragrances since then....and they've all left me unsatisfied. I never wear them... I found my 5ml decant in the closet tonight and it's all but dried up with a small amount left in the spray bottle. I opened it up and when the beautiful "Tea" and pineapple scent hit me...I knew I had re-found the fragrance I needed all along. My next frag purchase will be the first...the original...the "Tea" fragrance that sparked a flame in my heart that was never put out. I will buy "Bentley - Azure"!!!!

Wow! bought a sample few days ago and I'm impress. A fragrance made by Bentley and it does smell expensive like his name. First, it's a blast of pineapple, violet, lavender and tea note with and airy vibe! Then, this accord turn in a metallic vibe similar to Azzaro Chrome which the pineapple, the lavender and violet are more present, the other notes are detectable. Then, it finish by a metallic vibe of tonka and tea (damn it smells like money) Versatile as well (casual, dates, office, even to ''dress to impress'') nice longevity 8hrs good compliment factor similar to Azzaro chrome but ''more mature'' scent 25+ 9/10 ( a home-run considering it's a car company fragrance house)

If you’re thinking about getting this for a blind buy I 100% support that decision. I received it in the mail yesterday 02/08/23 and wore it to work today( next day) and I’ve already received two compliments and it was hours after I originally sprayed it on. Now if you have Azzaro Chrome, just know that these frags are about 80-90% similar but this one for sure smells better and has gotten me more compliments. It’s Basically Chrome but with less of the metallic and Floral notes and more fruitier/water notes which for my own liking is better to my nose and my skin chemistry. Definitely smells better and last longer when sprayed on your shirt as well. 8/10

Haven't used this one in a year and decided since it was a warm day, I should give it a go. I had forgotten how good it is and this time I got more out of it than I recall from before. Off the top peppery, must be the paprika. I also got something I didn't remember from earlier uses. A slight gasoline vibe like from Fahrenheit. In mere moments the sage and tea come in and gives a fourgere feel to it, a bit green but mixed with ocean air. I don't get much citrus if any, and that is fine with me. This is a great release by Bentley. Never a disappointment with that brand.

TR: Ozonik, yeşil ve akuatik bir koku. Kullandığım diğer mavi parfümlere göre çok farklı bir havası var. Yeni kesilmiş çimlerin o ferah ve tatlı yeşil kokusu yaz sabahlarının tertemiz havasına karışmış ve sahil boyunda (dostum akca ve d3'e selam) yürüyüşe çıkmışsınız gibi. yaz ve bahar ayları için uygundur diye düşünüyorum. bileğime bir fıs sıktım ve 3-4 saat sonra tenime iyice yaklaştı. kalıcılık yine iyi fakat projeksiyon ilk saatlerde çok güzel ve keyif verici ama ilerleyen saatlerde hiçbir fikrim yok. tam anlamıyla bir gün denediğimde yorumu güncelleyeceğim.

ok this is an awesome scent it literally smells like brand new clothes you just bought off the rack from dillards or walmart this literally smells like a brand new suit! i kid you not this scent is worth it.... this scent alone is worth the price what makes this scent even more valuable is the fact that you can layer it with any other fragrance and smell like a million dollars!! if you havent bought this i dont know what youre waiting for to add to this ..... this reminds me of a sweet underwater spring... trust me this is very worth it

Bentley did it right with this. I sprayed this on after my shower and After the end of the day I went to bed with it. My wife said she got whiffs of it all day and was very pleased with the trail of scent I was leaving. I’m 65 and I can rock most any fragrance, and this one is awesome. I really don’t need to go into the breakdown because it has been done. Plus the notes listed above are accurate. Not many fragrances last today especially the freshies, but this is one you can count on all the way to the finish line!

I think this one is maybe a bit underrated. Could be because some people would want more of the more niche-like frags like BfMI from this house. It is a more refined and possibly original take on a blue fragrance. It leans a bit more mature. Personnaly I (at 28) would only wear it when I wear clothes that are a bit more elegant, as it would in my opinion not coordinate well with, let's say, a hoodie. Could buy it for under 21 euros. Which is a steal for a fragrance of this quality amd versatility.

Somehow, Azure has more appeal than Silverlake. Yes, Silverlake smells more modern, but Azure is that kind of timeless old-school that is somehow is always relevant with present time. About the same performance also with Silverlake. If I have to rank fresh flankers of Bentley for Men line: 3. Silverlake 8/10 2. Azure 8.5/10 1. Black Edition 9/10 Yup, I prefer Black Edition over Azure & Silverlake. But like you can see my rating & scoring, all three are great to have. Love Bentley fragrances.

This is a low key banger. A high class smelling freshie. This is another one I wear to the gym or for daily errands. Great in warmer weather. I would imagine someone smelling like this driving their Bentley Azure down the Mediterranean Coast. This would be a great addition to any collection. The bottle is very nice too. Performance is respectable for a fresh type. I get anywhere between 6-8 hours. The scent stays linear throughout it's duration.

A very well blended balance of fresh and fruity. No one note really outdoes the other a far as the pineapple,tangerine, violet leaf and lavender. I blind bought this in March I believe based on how much I love the Intense version and the pineapple note. This fragrance is definitely one of the better summer scents available as it has great longevity "6-9" hours on my skin with average sillage. Priced at under 40 bucks makes this a no brainer!

its in the same family as chrome no doubt, at first couple of years back i thought its weak, so i skipped it... but man this is way better than chrome or Invictus aqua new one.very different, fruity fresh light and blue frag for summer.8 hours in office.outdoors decent 4 to 5 hours with good projection for 1 hour. love it.one that's wearable in summer in this MEN line of Bentley 8/10

The first spray from the bottle reminds me of the watery citrus and soapy scents of Versace Man Eau Fraîche and Davidoff Cool Water except Cool Water is more in your face with the citrus and soapy scents (not complaining). I have all three and love them like children! I have both Mont Blanc Legend and Intense versions. This is nothing like them to my nose. It's a keeper bought blind.

nice violet here, can't smell any pineapple, super fresh, happy, good manly fragrance with a too good pricing. Edited: at the first week it was too weak and not lasting even 2 hours, and everyone is saying the same, but after that it comes the very very good projection, now it lasts long with very good sillage, so give it an another chance and see what u get.

I like this one very much. By far the best one from the 3 I own from this house (Azure, For Men Intense, Infinite Intense). It's fresh and classy, with a very nice and quality pinapple vibe to it. It reminds me a lot of Montblanc Legend. This one possibly slightly softer. Average projection and longevity. Highly recommended for Spring / Summer / hot weather.

My wife loves this sent and even sneaks a spray of two on her at times. I bought it as a cheap blind buy and I have to say I like it. Really clean fresh sent that reminds me of Legend at opening with the hint of lavender and sage. Great for Spring and Summer but I have tested it all year round. Just a good clean fresh sent for $25 a bottle.

IMHO, this is a classy Spring/Summer scent. Fresh, clean and classy. While it has similarities to other fragrances, I do like better than those others. Best worn on a warm day while wearing crisp clean clothes. Good for formal situations too. I love all the Bentley range. I have them all except the $3000 bottle.

Man I love this shit ha. So the initial spray is slightly off putting due to this hair spray smell my nose gets , but that fades quickly to reveal a fresh manly smell that lasts for hours. I was told " you smell like a fucking man" by a women I hugged. I'm gonna buy another bottle once mine is gone.

A very nice...very slightly soapy clean... and fruity warm weather fragrance. All of the notes vibe well and there seems to be a subtle pinch of spice hanging around during the dry-down. It's chill and not in your face loud or complex. Nice to wear to a club or bar down near the beach. Great value.

Love this perfume. It's a long lasting mature fragrance with a very good projection. It can be used all year around except for snowy winter months. Can be a great signature scent for anyone above 30 years old. It sure is a keeper.

Surprisingly, it smells very similar to MontBlanc Legend EDP, especially the violet leave note in the opening. Then in the dry down, Azure & Legend EDP are just very slightly different. And I mean, slightly.

Love this. Whereas other summer fragrances rely heavily on citrus and Ambroxan, this one is centered a refreshing, sparkling tea accord. And unlike many other summer colognes, it actually lasts.

Fragrance very similar to Adidas Team Force, but more earthy and creamy. Longevity is 4-5 hours with 1h moderate projection. Great for work in mass people space in hot days.

Unpopular opinion - This one is my favorite in this line. Fresh. The tea note is quite good. If you want a fresh, tea scent - give this one a try.

It's a great choice when you want something casually appealing with solidness/formal vibe. Like all Bentley fragrances, respectively done imo.

What a surprise. Underrated gem. Fresh and versatile, but it is long lasting, as well. Nice one.

Smells good, lasts long, and is cheap. Safe blind buy.

Unique average performing summer fragrence

wayyyy underrated fresh fragrance

I've owned Bentley For Men Azure for a couple of years now and I love it! For full transparency I am NOT a big fan of summer citrus freshies or aquatics. They all smell OK but, to me they all smell pretty similar and about 90% of them suck when it comes to performance. So I tend to lump those fragrances into one big bucket called "stuff I need for hot weather but don't necessarily love to wear". I'll throw "Blue Fragrances" into pretty much the same bucket. They all smell alike to me. But at least here there are some good performers. Since they all smell alike, I'm not gonna pay a lot of money when I can get pretty much the same thing a LOT cheaper. Hence I tend to look for 3 things in "Summer Aquatics" and "Blue" fragrances. 1.) Decent performance. 2.) A great price. 3.) Something that doesn't smell like 90% of all the other stuff in this category. So my summer Fresh/Citrus/Blue "Go To" list is pretty short..... 1.) Versace Pour Homme / Signature. My one generic summer citrus. 2.) Bvlgari Aqva Atlantiqve. My "different" take on a Blue fragrance. And potent. 3.) Armaf El Cielo. Unique for the melon and violet. Moderate performer and cheap. 4.) Nautica Voyage. Completely generic crowd pleaser and dirt cheap. 5.) Bentley Azure. A more mature, grown up, gentlemanly, dress up, summer citrus aquatic. And cheap. But here's the stuff I really enjoy wearing in the summer.... 1.) Lalique Encre Noire Sport. A very different sort of aquatic. Woody and fresh. 2.) Lalique Pour Homme Equus. Smells like you just walked in from the horse barn. 3.) Guerlain Homme EDP. Unique for the mint / lime/ rum "Mojito Vibe". 4.) Bvlgari Aqva Amara. Very different take on summer citrus aquatic. And potent. So take my out of the ordinary preferences when it comes to fragrances like Azure into consideration. I like Azure as a more sophisticated office scent or for a night out in nice casual clothes. It smells great, performs well, and gets compliments. The violet, pineapple, and tea set it apart from the herd of clones in this category. The lavender gives it a little throwback to a barbershop scent. But it's blended well and nothing really dominates. I don't get the comments about it smelling "synthetic" at all. That may be from the crowd who believes a higher price equates to "better quality". It doesn't! The ingredients in perfumes are a fraction of the cost. Most of the money goes into print, broadcast, and web advertising along with retail displays, celebrity sponsors, and the packaging/bottle. With any luxury product it's all about selling an image, not the product, to people desperate for validation. For under $30, this is a great tool to have in your arsenal. Not my favorite because I prefer woods and leather. But I'd much sooner spend $30 on Azure than $100 on Sauvage or Bleu De Chanel because I just don't value these crowd pleasers all that highly as a category and I don't need anyone's validation for something like a fragrance.

Launched in 2014 by the luxury automotive brand Bentley, Bentley for Men Azure is a perfume that surprises with its fresh and refined approach, distancing itself from the more intense and oriental signature of the other flankers in the Bentley line. With a woody aquatic touch, it brings a balance between sophistication and lightness, being an interesting option for those seeking elegance without exaggeration. Performance: Projection: Moderate in the first two hours. Long-lasting: 6 to 7 hours on the skin, with discreet but consistent performance. Sillage (trail): Controlled, ideal for environments where more intense perfumes can be annoying. Despite being an aquatic perfume, it surprisingly stays well on the skin, thanks to its base of tonka bean and cashmere. Occasions of use: Bentley for Men Azure is extremely versatile, with a clear vocation for warm climates. Ideal for daytime use, work environments, casual meetings, outdoor walks or even semi-formal events on warm days. It is the type of fragrance that conveys cleanliness, care and good taste without seeming forced. It is not a bombastic or nighttime perfume — its elegance lies in its subtlety. Bentley for Men Azure is an excellent option for those who want to distance themselves from sweet and intense fragrances and seek something cleaner, fresher and more sophisticated, with a woody touch that sets it apart from most commercial aquatic fragrances. Its performance is above average for fragrances of the same style, and the cost-benefit is usually excellent. Final score: 8.5/10 A balanced fragrance, with refined freshness and a comfortable base, perfect for the modern man who wants to smell good with discretion and class.

Gave this a wearing today, a day after purchasing it for a good price. I like the scent overall now, but before I wasn't a fan. I was first introduced to it back in the UAE, and it just didn't mesh well with the heat. It is the fact that the leather note is very predominant and in a stifling humid heat became instantly cloying. Now, fast forward to a spring day in France and BOOM! Bentley Azure makes sense. This is a spring only scent. The packaging is all wrong, when you see the crystal blue bottle we think of Azzaro Chrome and a clean aromatic freshness. With Bentley its leather and a bit of citrus, pineapple, sage, a good dose of sea salt, and more leather. So after sitting down to a coffee it all hit me! The makers of this scent may have made a car commercial either by accident or fully on purpose. When one takes in all the notes we can smell a theme (if that is possible?). What is the theme? I feel that this scent encapsulates the smell of new car interior leather and the saltiness of the seaside. So basically you are driving on the Cote d' Azur (hence the name Azure) in your new Bentley with either top or windows down! Just driving down the coast on a beautiful spring day! Well, that was my caffeinated brain working on over drive on a scent theory and I think it works... my mind was racing... groan gasp terrible pun (must switch to decaf). In all seriousness it is a well crafted scent, but do not think summer on this one think spring. I think this scent should be worn on a stroll by the shore especially if it isn't Le Cote d' Azure or you are not the owner of a Bentley!

Fantastic. Another belter from Bentley. I too get that harsh 'hair-spray' vibe in the opening which could, I guess, be the combo of Violet, Lavender and Pimento shouting the loudest. 10-15 minutes in and those harsh chemical aromas fade and the magic starts to happen. A classic, masculine, fresh, warm, oceanic-green scent. The closest I can think of are Green Irish Tweed and Cool Water but Azure is still different from these. I picture me in a freshly washed linen shirt, a faint breath of sun lotion, Lime trees and a see breeze in the air.....while enjoying some Mediterranean sun as I lean against the grill of my Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible Black Edition. :) Update 29/06/2018: 2nd wearing. It's 27 Celsius here in the UK today - we're having a heat wave at the moment (long may it last). Anyway, immediately reached for Bentley Azure this morning and put a good 5 sprays on. Yep I really get the Pineapple this time. Front and centre. Accompanied by soft Violet, Pimento and Lavender. I think I can smell a faint citric orange or Bergamot note lurking in the background but they are pretty much muted. Boy oh boy this is a real gem of a fragrance - absolutely at the unisex end of the scale for masculine scents but stil definitely a men's style fragrance. I am gonna be rocking this all summer. That makes 4 Bentley's I've tried so far (B for Men, B for Men Intense, B for Men Azure and B for Men Infinite Intense) and all have impressed. I reckon I need to try me something from the "Momentum" line. :)

Foconero? Burberry Weekend? Legend? Cool Water? Whaaaaaat? With all due respect, I find this sort of comparison to be a bit lazy and misleading. This is not the slightest bit like any of these, unless you're just picking out one note. That said, I can tell you this. This stuff is all about the violet leaf. More of a candied violet leaf - like that parma violet candy (aka C.Howards) many of us had as kids. The rest is really up to what facets reflect more off your skin. For me, this reminds me (sort of) of what you might get if you combined 90% Aqua Fahrenheit (with a WAY dialed up candied violet) and 10% of Azzaro Hot Pepper. It's hard to explain, but AHP is all about red pepper and cashmeran, and a similar accord sits in the background and interferes a bit with the brighter notes from AF in Azure's composition. The effect can be a bit muddled at times, but at least for me, the dry down reverts to mostly that beautiful violet. And on other days, I get mostly violet and light citruses, with just a hint of tea leaf. If you were to ask me what this reminds me of most of all, I might mention E. Zegna's Uomo as what I'd consider to be maybe a brighter, more balanced version of Azure, but at the cost of a less pronounced violet. Overall, this is pretty unique, in spite of all the comparisons. Few masculine scents feature violet leaf so prominently or as sweetly as this. In spite of its flaws, I find myself craving it from time to time. Good stuff, great bottle.

After not really caring for the smell of Azure on paper, I decided - against my first instinct - to try it on myself today. I had the day off, so what the heck, right? Wow. To my amazement... Whatever disagreed with me on paper was a complete non-issue on skin. This stuff is a combination of notes that are both strange and familiar, and nothing I would ever have thought would work for me. Opening: Sweet, bright citrus, not so much pineapple to my nose (unlike Aventus, for example), but more mandarin or tangerine. This, blended with a potent, edible smelling violet accord that reminds me of C.Howard's violet candy (look it up). Early dry down: Citrus fades into the background, violet steps up even more. Sweet vanillic tonka creeps up and brings with it some pepper. The combination reminds me very much of Jimmy Choo Intense - which I also like - and when added to the violet note, really makes this smell like money (figuratively). Totally unique composition in my experience, absolutely brilliant. As a sweet floral aromatic (to my nose) this veers much closer to unisex than anything I'd ever think to wear personally. After really finding myself infatuated with the scent initially, I found myself getting over it. I guess it's just one of those scents you can really like - just not so much on yourself? Unique, attractive and yet confusing and frustrating. A "like" for me, but also a pass, as I just don't see wearing it.

I sat on buying this because of mixed reviews, but finally pulled the trigger. I've read...smells like hair spray, alcohol blast, synthetic..blah blah. From the first spray I smelled fruit and a slight sweetness. The fruit smell is citrus and pineapple. About 15 mins later I get pineapple, slight spice, and tea. The scent is fresh and calming. This is not an overpowering scent, so you can go a little heavy on the sprays. Maybe this has been done before, I don't know because I've never smelled a pineapple tea fragrance before, but I like this one a lot. I think it's blind buy ready, but every nose is different. This is so non offensive and pleasing so I'm not sure why anyone would not like this at all. Good stuff. Update.....6/7/2019 Comparisons with Azure to Chrome United are highly inaccurate. I have Azure on my left hand and Chrome United on my right. Azure has strong pineapple, spice and tea scent. Chrome has a softer powdery slight citrus scent. Don't get me wrong both smell really good and are both blind buy worthy, however, some have said these are 100% clones of each other and that simply is not the case.

Bentley Azure is not a clone, but more like a re-imagination of the OG Azzaro Chrome. The first thing I notice in common is the synthetic minerality, but Bentley Azure takes it in a very metallic direction. The metallic aspect really lasts and is dominant. The sharp citrus puts a nice extra edge on the synthetic metallic note. Despite the note breakdown this is not very sweet at all. It is not a bluezy aquatic. It is more like salt water in the air. It seems more like a blend of ozonic/aquatic, and those notes are there but just not as refreshingly inspiring and masterful to me as Chrome. The wood note is just a little noticeable, but mostly hiding in the background. The wood is not as noticeable and it does not dry down in the woody way of Chrome. Bentley Azure is also more linear. I do have to bump it up from OK to a LIKE because Bentley did the synthetic aspect better than Chrome. By that I mean that while strongly synthetic, Azure was formulated in a way that I think is less irritating to sensitive people.

Updated review, nearly 3 years after initially trying this fragrance: To me, Bentley Azure isn't a typical "blue" fragrance. It opens up with a strong orange/pineapple combo but dries down to something much more subdued and classy with violet leaf and tea. Ultimately, the effervescence and brightness of "blue" fragrances is not present here, but that's not a problem. Bentley Azure is a classy, smooth spring/summer fragrance that is distinguished by a soft, persistent sillage. You may think it's gone after a few hours, but then you'll get a whiff of those lovely herbal base notes, and you'll feel classy as hell. Despite the sophistication relative to most fragrances of the genre, this can still be dressed up or down, which seals the seal for me. A failsafe, unique fresh fragrance for a man who wants to smell clean but only... "more so." P.S. the presentation is GORGEOUS. The blue gradient on the glass bottle is pure class.

First time I smelt Chrome, I disliked it. It opened with a very sharp, metallic note and a smell that reminded of metallic detergent. It irritated my nostrils. Azure opens with a similar note but thankfully here, that note is subtle in contrast with Chrome. Azure comes across as an ozonic, clean and slightly sweet scent. In my bottle, the pineapple, violet leaf and bergamot combine for a sharp, ozonic opening with a hint of sweetness. Within 15mins, the ozonic smell has retreated to the background leaving slightly sweetened "blue" notes to take centre stage. Dries down to a pleasant, mildly green clean scent. Definitely a warm weather scent with average longevity (4 - 6)hrs and average projection. The drydown is a pleasant clean smell rather than clearly woody. Not a bottle that I'd replace once it finishes. If you don't overpay then it's a good rather than great summer daytime cheapie.

This is another easy PASS for me but luckily i didn’t spend a whole lot on this fragrance. Bentley Azure opens up with a very sharp,green opening that’s also semi fresh and reminds me of a Chrome United but Chrome United is way better. What kills my boner for this fragrance is it has this really pungent,sharp plasticy note that reminds me of the smell of a hospital. In the mid it does get better and the pineapple makes this more sweet while the tea note smoothens this out but that plastic note is still there making it unpleasant. I can’t comment on performance as I wore this for an hour before my fiancée asked me to please scrub it off because it was giving her a headache. Which just backed the fact that this stuff is cheap and unpleasant. Overall rating — 3 out of 10! If it didn’t have that plastic note this might at least be ok but even then it’s nothing amazing.

I have to admit to being impressed so far with the Bentley line of fragrances, Although Azure is not really my cup of tea I like what it does and it projects and sustains well. It is very good value for money in my humble opinion. I'd definitely recommend trying before you buy as this one is quite unique. To me the notes here don't really convey what it smells like, I pick up a strong sea-salt vibe and this gives the scent a cool demeanor (which is what the marketing is going for) but would probably be good for milder/colder days too as there are some herby notes as well. Of note, this is one of those scents that smells different depending on the wearer, I noticed when my younger brother tried it (he has very dry skin) it projected well yet seemed softer. Also the 100ml bottle looks fantastic, really weighty and classy. Good Stuff! :)

As a car enthusiast, when I learnt back in 2019 that Bentley, Jaguar and a lot of other car brands were actually marketing fragrances as well, I found that it was kind of funny but cool at the same time. So my mom gifted me this fragrance cause she knew that I like Bergamot, Tonka Bean as well as the tea notes ! And what a good idea she had <3 It feels fresh, doesn’t smell cheap, the blend of each notes feels so soothing to me. That’s a summer perfume that was kind of strong on my skin even if it is an aquatic and fruity scent ! It is coming from the paprika, making that fragrance a fresh spicy one ! It is an affordable scent but I don’t like the feeling of the upper part of the bottle, it’s soooo plasticky I feel like this is a great unisex perfume, that is really relevant ! I would rate it a 8/10

I know Azzaro Chrome when I smell it and the opening to this reminds me of just that. The difference is later on you get a little more of a sweet shaving cream vibe. I'm also reminded a little bit of JV x NJ the Blue version way later in the dry down. I don't get very much tea but you can tell that it's in there faintly. Overall this is a good fragrance but it doesn't project as great as some of the other Bentleys but it lasts about 6-7 hours on clothes. It's also not as musky as some of the others. This isn't an ambroxan bomb like Momentum Intense. Azure is a slightly mature but slightly sweet and herbal Blue fragrance. It's a good one to have in your collection!

Got it in yesterday. Gave it 24 hours to make up my opinion but can't say anything else than masterpiece. Sounds dramatic but concidering the price, the DNA, the notes, quality and performance i can't say anything else than masterpiece. It's an absolute steal for the price. Perfect casual masculine summertime fragrance which you even can pull off in spring, fall and early winter. Office, date, dinner, party or in the gym, it's all good. It's fresh, sweet, fruity, clean and masculine and doesn't smell overall like other fragrances. Yes, you can get wiffs off fragrances you know but deep down it's so unique on its own! Just get it, enjoy it!
