Infinite Intense

I decided to write a review for this fragrance, after starting to wear it more often again, as I realised I love it for what it is. I’ve had my current bottle since spring 2017, have not worn it all through 2019 and just tried it again the last couple of days, when the weather was a bit colder outside. This is a great scent for a spring day, but not a hot one. I would attribute this to the 5-20°C range in spring and fall, when the mornings are cold and damp, but during the day the sun announces the coming (or dwindling) of summer time. This fragrance sort of captures this vibe to me. It will be too strong and possibly cloying due to the florals on a hot day and the fresh green attitude it brings will not really fit winter time as well. Though in the mid I pick up a slight pine note coming in, which might even fit Christmas time a bit, as long as it is a typical central European rainy Christmas around 8°C and has the Christmas tree as a friend hanging around in the house to keep it company... Intense is certainly key here for sure though, at least in the opening. Spices with Pepper being the dominant one and floral notes force their way into your sinuses, opening them up with a punch and a nice undertone of sweet lavender. A lot of people say it shares similarities with Terre d’Hermes, but certainly not in the opening (I’ll get back to this in the mid and dry down section though). But regarding the opening, it is true that ultimately both fall into the “green scent”, outdoorsy feel, walking through damp spring meadows kind of category, but they both have their own unique character to them. Hermes has this “dirty/earthy” orange scent in the opening and Infinite Intense replaces that with spices and sweet florals. The vetiver is noticeable and with that blast of pepper, combined with the sweet florals the opening feels very different from Hermes. It feels more masculine though a bit sweeter than Hermes, not as fresh due to the lack of a distinct citrus note. The way Infinite Intense behaves in the opening is as if it wants to let you know that this is a man’s scent, right from the start. No modern, mass appealing unisex stuff going on here! It feels well balanced in the opening and interestingly different, even providing a slight boozy note to me. With all the scents combined and noticeable it almost smells like a Gin with several added botanicals, but in a very good way. I enjoy the opening a lot. Going into the mid after about an hour/hour-and-a-half it feels like I am taking a hike and am transitioning from the flower covered fields/meadows into the woods. The woody note of cedar and the resins start coming into play, while the florals and spices take a step back, but they are still present, just not as forceful as they were in the opening. There is a stronger sweetness, certainly due to the listed elemi resin, kicking in as well now. And here it starts to get a bit closer to Terre d’Hermes as well due to the woody notes, but smelling both side-by-side, there is still enough of a difference to justify having this in your collection next to Hermes. I almost do not like the mid, because the woodsy scent with a hint of pine smells a bit like a certain Nivea men’s deodorant I had for a while, but the underlying sweetness and the remaining spices save it and elevate it way beyond a cheap deodorant. The dry down reveals more and more of the woody notes and due to them becoming rather dry in their feel it almost seems like there is a very faint smoky note in there as well, but it might just be me. It settles quite similar to Terre d’Hermes with the previous notes fading out until it becomes a musky woody skin scent. Very nice and warm indeed. The overall projection is moderate. It blasts out of its cage, a rather nice-looking bottle, like a hungry lion though, but settles down quickly (30-45 Minutes) and then leaves a subtle but nice trail. Longevity is above average. I easily get 8 hours off it and even when I work out and sweat in the evening or take a shower I can smell it again when the skin gets wet, which is something I have come accustomed to with the Bentley Intense fragrances though, so no surprise here. This scent, just like Hermes can be a bit off-putting to some people. While fragrance enthusiast usually praise Hermes and Infinite as being unique and well made, people who are not accustomed to a lot of different fragrances or prefer mass appealing ones might find them to be too “earthy/dirty”. I once got the comment: “Did you climb a tree this morning? You smell like the woods”. But even then, it is not truly negative, more like people noticing you are wearing something different to the norm and that can be beneficial as well, as it lets you stand out. Overall the positive reactions are more frequent than negative ones, because it is different, but you should expect negative/surprised ones as well. But overall, they can easily be worn casually or at work, as their projection is not too strong, so you will not really offend people with them. So, is it worth buying this over Terre d’Hermes? No, it is not, but it is actually worth buying both of them together! They have enough differences to one another to be unique scents standing on their own two feet. If I could have just one, I would go for Terre d’Hermes though to be honest, even though it will twice the price on average. The dirty Orange note in Hermes makes it a bit more modern to me although it is 10 years older in terms of year of release, while still being unique enough not to be confused with any other “spring freshy”. Bentley Infinite Intense feels a bit more “old school”. Still unique and very nice, but for a more mature audience (30+), while I think Terre d’Hermes can be pulled off by a 22yo with a leather jacket as long as he is not acting too childishly, just as well as a 50yo with a suit. If you can only afford one, get Hermes. If you can afford both, get both! On a side note: I personally really like what the perfumer Nathalie Lorson is doing for the Bentley brand. Whether it is Bentley for Men Intense, Momentum Intense or this one, they all are very masculine, boozy, long-lasting and rather unique “cheapies”, with good projection as well, essentially being in the top tier with much more expensive designer fragrances. She really captures what comes to mind, when thinking about Bentley. You would think expensive luxury cars for a more mature audience, that still wants to be flashy though, as a Bentley surely isn’t subtle like a BMW 7 or Mercedes S-Class would be (The blue fragrances of the luxury car world). But you also think of them smoking expensive cigars, nipping on expensive booze, like 30yo scotch and wearing expensive tailored suits, like a whiff of a time slowly disappearing from modern society as it is deemed misogynistic and outdated. Bentley fragrances often offer excellent quality and a certain uniqueness (always set into relation to what they cost), that you would usually attribute more toward niche perfumeries. And considering the price they often are just plain awesome, but that said the Bentley fragrances are distributed by Lalique and they also are known for creating very unique and affordable gems more often than not. Like the Encre Noire line that as it happens was also designed by Nathalie Lorson!

I think I largely agree with discardedandroid. I can't fully liken this to any other fragrance. I suppose it does make sense that it's by the same nose as Encre Noire à l'Extrême, though. Anyway, I don't see much similarity to Terre d'Hermès or even just the earthier side of that. I get the 'car interior' idea but it might have to be a car with one of those green Little Trees Forest Fresh air fresheners hanging off the rear-view mirror. I mean, there is definitely a considerable green/woody component to this, somewhere around the mid. The vetiver must be playing a part in that but I suppose the elemi brings some greenish, semi-citrusy zing too (along with some waxy body, perhaps), and anyway, this is quite textured (aldehydic?) and complex, even if it isn't super refined. It's kind of woody/leathery but also buttery/oily/fatty and a little creamy/soapy. I don't pick out a lot of pepper or nutmeg as such, find this very spicy, or get a whole lot of earth, but this is certainly no freshie either. It has some lift from--aside from the elemi, I suppose--the florals and, partly, the musk, but even then I find the florals to be of medium weight, somewhat powdery/dusty, smooth/buttery/creamy, and barbershop-adjacent. The fragrance leans a long way toward the classically masculine. I would not call it exactly dark or super-ambery (at least in any opulent way) but its emphasis is definitely more on the lower notes, although the opening in particular is quite full-on and therefore not summer-friendly. The musk is not backward in coming forward. I would use this in moderation only, as it absolutely could becoming cloying (especially in heat). I experience this as a kind of brown-grey fragrance--the presentation is on point--with a little compatible greenness thrown in. For me it is mostly autumnal. It probably is more suited to mature tastes but I do not find it especially challenging or dated. I think it's kind of classy, even if there's a certain gruffness to it or something. Conceptually that combination of classiness and gruffness kind of reminds me of the 1974 Givenchy Gentleman, which I also find to be borderline dark (darker than this), predominantly about the lower notes, and leathery (more leathery than this). Edit: it sort of surprises me that neither iris nor orris is listed in the notes for this. Perhaps the florals listed are doing a similar job, but this has what I experience as the kind of snowy-white, powdery effect that is present in Comme des Garçons Zagorsk, where it seems to be due to iris. Here the overall dry-down, which hangs around for ages, has something of a laundry detergent feel to it. Though I don't know whether it would last into the dry-down, I wonder whether there isn't some kind of washing powder-like aldehyde at play here (C-12?).

Well I guess this sums it up. I have been wearing this for a week, that is how addictive the scent and bubble it creates are. I have had a couple of people mention the nice smell but today took the cake. I went in to buy a new Bluetooth speaker, as I approached the counted there were 2 ladies and a man, upon approaching I thought one lady say wow what's that. I wasnt sure if i heard right but I got to the counter I asked for what speaker I was after and the lady was okay I'll get it. Then the other lady says no stay you have to enjoy this some more, then I'm thinking okay damn is it the perfume and sure enough as I think that the second lady says okay what perfume do you have on? I tell her it's a secret they start guessing. . No. . No. . No. . No. The guy comes back we sort the payment then I say we'll do you want to know? By this point the guy was walking away, he swung straight round and yes please man I need to know the ladies giggle and say oh yes we must know. So I show them and of course they've never heard of it. They all load it on their phones and one by one I say yep that's it, that's it etc. I get the receipt start walking off and they all start thanking me. Haha what an experience! So yes this juice is magic stuff, initially I didn't pick up on the Hermes vibe but today I did. To me it's like a hint of Hermes just slightly, with a great and balanced ambergris accord almost Creed like but it's own DNA. For me it has overtaken some of my favorite designer fragrances and even niche. I will forever have this in my collection. I just ordered a bottle of Rush White and hoping it has a Creed Himalaya vibe! I was also be trying all the other Bentleys. It has been a long time since a perfume bas captivated me to reach foe it everytime I go to grab a bottle. Now that's saying so something. A huge love for me, I just can't see this ever offending anyone, any situation you couldn't wear it. It's just that good.

I think I prefer this to the For Men Absolute. They both smell of leather but the Absolute is darker and deeper - like the leather of a boot. Infinite Intense smells sweeter...and familiar. I racked my memory bank of scents to place where I've smelt it before and then it hit me - it smells like the interior of a brand new Audi. It's kinda weird and probably not very helpful if you've never been inside an Audi but that's exactly what it smells like. Every Audi I've been inside of smells like this. I'm kinda impressed they managed to capture that scent and bottle it. I'd say it leans more masculine but if you're a woman addicted to the smell of an Audi interior I think you could rock this. Addendum: This doesn't smell like any Bentley interior I've ever been in nor any other product in the Volkswagen group of companies. Then again, Audi doesn't carry its own line of fragrances and I suppose the Bentley name carries more cache.

Did not know what to expect with this, all the positive reviews gave me hope but I will still very hesitant to blind buy. Last week I pulled the trigger and wow I absolutely love this juice. Beautiful opening and drydown is great. The ambergris in this is balanced and whafts for hours, the bubble around me is very comforting. Perfect for the office, dressed up or casual. Definitely Spring & Fall leaning but still could be pulled off year round. I love the bottle too, it's heavy and does look the part especially with Bentley on the front, you'd expect a nice design! For the price I'll give it a 9/10. Losing half a point on it's slight lack of projection which isn't a bad thing but if you're looking for good projection this isn't it. Another half a point for longevity, does last 5-6hours but not a full work day unfortunately. Well rounded, smooth, Refined and luxurious just like Bentley should be!

Wow, this is just amazing👌❕ I have worn this all day and immediately after that first spray I fell in love with this one. This is a beautiful smelling fragrance that shouts out classy and sophistication! I like the Bentley Momentum line and I have to admit I'm enjoying the Infinate line even better. One of the best sophisticated fragrances out there I would say is Aramis Impeccable that is discontinued now (My favourite House and I still have two full bottles of Impeccable!) but even though this one isn't as good, it really is close to it. This is a formal and a date night scent that performs very well on my skin. 8hrs of longevity and 4-5ft projection! 9 out of 10 for me all the way👍🤗💎❤️👌❕

This has quickly become one of my favorites. It's certainly got a Terre De Hermes vibe to it, but not a direct clone. I have original and 2 flankers of TDH, and as someone who enjoys that manner of scent, this is certainly not redundant. I think I might prefer it to TDH, especially given it's significantly cheaper (27.50 GBP for 100ml). The opening is wonderfully powerful, punchy and masculine. The dry down is mysterious, sweet, creamy and resinous. It hangs in the air, but doesn't project like a beast. I prefer this style of fragrance because it means I cam enjoy it without having to intrude on the personal space of other people. 10/10 Natalie Lorson is a masterful perfumer.

I don't get Terre d'Hermes at all when I smell this. This has it's own character. The overall smell is fantastic! It's like a spicy woody floral with some sweet resins. The only negative I have is that it doesn't project as well as I was hoping and I only get about 6 hours longevity. I would say Intense smells better than Infinite but Infinite the original performs a little bit better for me. Both are nice fragrances though and I own and recommend both. The Bentley bottles are kick ass! Very nice looking! This is a nice spicy, floral, woodsy scent. I give this a 87/100.

I have both For Men Intense and Infinite Intense. For me, this one is more versatile, thanks to that slight lavender-ish note behind the woody, spicy, and smoky note. This is like “gentlemanly but laid back.” Meanwhile, for men intense is “gentlemanly and mysterious.” Nam sayin? I really love this one, and I think I need to get TDH as a lot of people say that this is in the same DNA. This lasts quite a while in my skin and clothes. Safe for office and evening ocassion. Nice addition to my Bentley collections.

Very good and classy parfume. For Spring and Summer, it reminds me something of Terre d'Hermes but more elegant. I found it in Harrods UK. They also have the edt version. Longevity and sillage of the intense version are not the best. I should test a little bit more but to be honest I was expecting more for a parfume that it costs 90 £... Anyway the guy at Harrods was very kind and gave me, as gif for my purchase, a beautiful beauty case from Bentley in leather. Parfume: 8/10 Longevity: 5/10 Sillage: 7/10

The violet and lavender are prominent for me, giving this a slightly old-school tilt, offset by a more contemporary spicy/woody undertone. Really well composed, seemingly professional and mature, but also moderately fragrance. I get the Masculin Pluriel comparison, though I actually think I like this better (and find it more resolutely “masculine”), and I understand the TdH connection, though I think this is pretty different (though maybe useful in similar settings). Pretty excellent for a cheapie.

Nose Note #452 I love Terre d'Hermes and I'm so happy I found this. Infinite Intense is definately trying to be a dupe of Terre and I'd just say it's close enough to pass as a substitue. An absolute victory. It lasts long too, maybe even longer than the OG!!! All the warm words I have for Terre I could pass onto Bentley. I'll leave it at that. Upd.: It's more like Terre meets Sauvage Elixir. Definately much better performing than Terre, it's more herbal kind of, more piney 10/10, love Terre

Nathalie Lorson blends some amazing perfumes - just look at her listing. Infinite Intense is not like Infinite. Infinite is a brighter and woodier fragrance. Intense has rich amber and vetiver notes in there with nutmeg and violet. This has a proper parfum performance too. The dry down turn a bit more woody with Elemi notes distinctly there. This is a lovely, potent, rich, deep perfume with earthy and spicy undertones It comes in a quality flacon too. I love it - pure class

This is a hidden gem, this doesn’t get as much hype as some of the other Bentley’s. But if you like a little spice and a nice semisweet dry down this is a great scent. This is an all occasion all season scent. Very natural smelling not too synthetic and blind but worthy if you like a manly cologne. Performance is above average but not to beastly so you could wear this to an office or church just back off on the trigger some.

Amazing scent, great price. This is sophisticated, mature, masculine scent. Also very unique. The opening is very strong with violet and some pepper. be prepared. It dries down very smooth. So many fragrances have a citrus opening, it's nice to have something that is a serious manly scent. I'm 21 years old and wear it, it makes me feel alot older; I like that aspect of it. In my opinion you can wear this any occasion.

To my nose, this smells like a fusion between Bentley Men Black and Terre d’Hermes. The pepper and violet are quite pronounced for the first 10-15 minutes. Nicely blended with the vetiver and patchouli. I detect some citrus but see none listed. There’s a real earthy texture to this that I get from Bentley Men Black. Dry down with the musk, cedar and vetiver tops this off nicely. Another banger from the Bentley range.

the first spray is interesting.... before it dries, it smells like an antique, petrol-smelling old car ... :-) when it dries it turns into a slightly softer terre hermes tone. I sprayed both on my arm. hermes initially starts out based on citrus. 15 minutes later he becomes his real identity. In stage 3, the smells are almost the same. Bentley moves on when Hermes loses his power. added to the collection.

This is good. I consider this office scent. it is very similar to Terre D Hermes but i feel the dry down is somewhere between the TDH EDT and EDP. If you get a good deal and would like to smell mature yet welcoming at office. this is highly recommended. and i consider a fragrance office scent only if it last through the office day, and yes it does. 8 hours easy.

Masculine, mature, woody, and has that earthy touch Natalie Lorson puts in men's fragrances (at least the ones I tried), which is right up my alley. It's an elegant signature scent worthy fragrance. I find it quite different than Terre d'Hermes, maybe 20% similar when it dries down. Perfect for office wear, especially for senior executives/managers.

I don't think this smells anywhere near like Terre D'Hermes.On its own its a beautiful scent. It punches you with black pepper and spices at the beginning and quietly dries down to Woody vetiver. Maybe I'm going nose blind on this but I can't get enough of this. Feels really masculine but tamed. Great price and can be worn all year round. 7.5/10

Smells like a smoother Terre d’Hermes, without the orange note at the beginning. Earthy, vetiver/soil scent, mixed with leather. Extremely masculine. Won’t be for everyone, but will be an amazing scent for those that do like it! Kind of like Encre Noir in that regard.

Giving it the first try, so I will need to make an update on how performs during the day, is a good impression to start with, but I don't agree so far with the comparisons with Terre de Hermes and I have 3 versions of it they are different at core for me.

The opening is a little bit harsh. However, the dry down is magic. Soothing freshness that lasts almost for 7+ hours. Suitable for Fall, Spring, and Summer daytime, and non-offensive office safe. For sure it's a mature scent, for 30 years old and up.

Smelling is believing, although Bentley is a young company for cologne but all of it is top notch guys perfume. This and Azure is a must have in my wardrobe. Very nice, I would list it with Hermes, Creed and Tom Ford Thumbs up 9/10

my opinion on the fragrance is that I have Terre Hermès and opening is similar and dry down is totally different story. opening of this one is more fruity. Dry down is very woody. Hermès has fruity vibe after drydown.

To me this is soapy floral forward at first then smoothes out into a somewhat woody base. I do not pick up the pepper at all. Not even close to Terre Hermes as reported.

sometimes all you need is long lasting , great smelling and nonheadache inducing perfume in your weekly rotation. this is a great fragrance, age 25+ 10/10

Beautiful scent, definitely shares the dna of terre d'hermes .. but its absolutely a different creation .. its smoother and has a bit of sweetness ..

Smells great, lasts long and gets a lot of compliments. It's very strong so just a few sprays goes a long way I prefer this for special occasions

One of the best smelling dumb reaches in my collection. Incredible quality for the price. Nathalie Lorson can't do wrong apparently.

Another banger from Nathalie Lorson. If you like Terre d'Hermes, this one is a worthy and less expensive option to check out.

One of my favourite perfumes. All the boxes are ticked. It's rich, deep, smooth and delicious. This juice is sublime.

still amazing!! still rocks! try it , buy it, if you like fresh, slight earthy, slightly ambery scent. 10/10

A lovely amber and floral perfume with a good performance. Very smooth. Lovely well made bottle too. A gem

Versatile, good signature scent for a man over 30. Reminds of Terre D'Hermes indeed, good value

Great for the price, it's my regular gym scent

* Sophisticated cologne with dry spice, aromatic, wood, spice, floral and powder aromas * One of the very few, if not the only, fresh cologne that is not a "blue" style one * Most versatile cologne of the Bentley for Men and Bentley Intense lines * Lighter and fresher than many of the other Bentley non-blue style colognes * A rare all occasion, all weather and all ages cologne * Good value for money * Not as powerful as many other colognes in the Bentley lines * Is much lighter than the "Intense" branding would suggest * Bottle isn't as good as the For Men line bottles Bentley Infinite Intense is quite the sophisticated cologne, mixing dry spice, aromatic, wood, spice, floral and powder aromas. I'd actually describe this as the love child of both the floral Bentley for Men Black and the spicy and woody Bentley for Men Absolute. It's strong on all these notes but not overwhelming in any of them. There's no sweetness or booze notes either. Impressively, the end result is a fresh cologne but not one that is the typical "blue" style of freshie. No ozonic or aquatic or sea salt notes here yet still fresh. This makes it incredibly versatile and a truly rare all weather, all occasion, and all ages cologne. It's good for everything and everyone. That alone makes it worth the money, which just happens to be very affordable. It's below designer price and gives great value for the money. Easy to recommend. Do note, however, that the "Intense" branding belies the fact that the cologne actually isn't that intense at all. It's nowhere near as strong as its brethren. Bentley for Men Intense and Black in particular are both noticeably quite stronger than Infinite Intense. However, the tradeoff is that they are also both age and occasion restrictive. I would also note that despite the much more prominent Bentley branding which I completely understand, the bottle design is nowhere near as beautiful as the ones in the Bentley For Men line. Minor nitpick here. Overall this is a very good cologne and a very easy recommend due to its sheer versatility alone and the great price seals the deal.

I think this scent is perfectly suited for a man in his forties and up. It's not an attention grabber. Infinite Intense is not playful. It is a mature, and a little bit sensual scent with somewhat poor projection. But it's wearable by younger crowd, too. It is also very unobtrusive and laid back. A man who is not trying hard to make a statement, he just wears it because he wants to appear decent. Mentioned factors make it ideal for the office type of work or indoor activities. It's also good for upscale events because it smells rich. The opening is pepper and violet. But the pepper, although prominent, isn't too harsh and obtrusive. However, if you don't like the smell of pepper in a perfume, I doubt you'll like this one since the pepper is a prominent note (in the beginning only). Later, the nutmeg takes the place of pepper and gives very aromatic vibe. Some say Infinite Intense is similar to Terre d'Hermes but I don't think so. It's a different kind of smell. Infinite Intense is the same smell like Oriflame Platinum. It shares most of the ingredients with it, too. However, Bentley is less harsh, less synthetic. It's a more quality take on the same smell. Platinum is much cheaper though, with similar or even better projection and a little shorter longevity. Number of sprays? This is interesting. When the juice was new, the performance was very weak. I could easily go with 10 sprays. After the juice got in contact with the air, it began to develop into a very aromatic fragrance. After 3 months, the number of sprays I use is 2-3. Just remember not to judge this fragrance right upon buying it. It will get much stronger in time. It's a classy and elegant fragrance.

REVIEWER: Professional gentleman in his 60's with the mature, masculine, old-school tastes one would expect from a man my age. I've been collecting fragrances for a while now and have about 100 fragrances. I wore Infinite Intense today and it's really quite beautiful, and absolutely perfect for my conservative, unobtrusive, professional vibe. The scent is unique among my fragrance collection. For the price, the quality, complexity, and classy-sophisticated idiom of this unsung hero is REALLY remarkable. I'm going to be wearing this one a LOT. PERFORMANCE Well... Although the smell of Infinite Intense is truly outstanding, it is neither "infinite" nor "intense" when applied sparingly as I normally do. The longevity is pretty short. I've topped this off twice in the last 9 hours. The projection is moderate, as it should be for a frag of this type. Beastly performance would be inappropriate for my particular proclivities anyway. RECOMMENDATIONS Infinite Intense will be great year-round, day or night, outside or inside, casual or formal. The scent is mature and polished and would be at home in the boardroom, a 5-star restaurant, and the symphony. Decant some into a travel spray and you can extend longevity indefinitely by reapplying as necessary. I suspect that the bangers among you can really project some power with this by overspraying. Its inexpensive price ($26US Joma 1/23/2026) and scent profile make it a very low-risk blind buy. BOTTOM LINE: Scent:----------8/10 Longevity:-----6/10 Sillage:---------6/10 (Applied conservatively) Versatility:----10/10 Value:---------10/10 These are just one man's humble opinions. Your mileage may vary.

I get zero Terre D Hermes on my skin. Funny how fragrance works differently for each person. I get a lot of pepper and powdery violet in the beginning. Pepper calms and lavender joins in with some creaminess. Not getting much of the mid and base notes but it’s seems well blended and it’s only been 3 hours so I’ll wait. I can tell there is some sort of woody base holding this together. Decent performance. This reminds me of something like Narcisco Rodriguez bleu noir EDP which I love. Not the exact same scent profile it just reminds me of what that does. This is a classy everyday scent. I could wear this or the bleu noir edp. For me, I’d spend the extra $20 or $30 and get the Bleu noir edp. Butt....This Bentley for $30 is a steal compared to the clone trash that gets hyped up and down frag comm but that’s just my take. Opening can be intense cause the spicy pepper but once that calms this smells natural and has very little if any rough edges. Edit: I wore reflection man a day after wearing this and it gave me similar vibes as well. Well done scent in the space of NR Bleu Noir EDP, and Reflection man (powdery vibes). If you like these and want a daily driver for close to nothing, this fits the bill!

#465 in my "Tour de Fragrance" I think if you already have Black Edition this is redundant. It's okay, but overdone and it gets cloying. In this fragrance they combine musk, nutmeg and benzoin which for my taste is just borderline overdoing it. It's like the smell of eggnog, yummy at first, but after a few minutes you want some Earl Grey to wash the taste out of your mouth. This is fine for business and formal wear if you go very light, and if you don't, it will be too much for everyone. It's is a more mature scent. I probably would not wear this as a date scent. It comes off kinda "dad juice." I think the Momentum scents are Bentley's best and I'd just stick to those, or I'd layer this with a citrus aromatic.

very peppery lavender, fresh and aromatic, (not citrus freshness, but that of geranium) warm spicy and something a little sweet (probably elemi/benzoin) strong fragrance, definitely masculine, not for kids. The only thing it has in common with Hermes is the pepperiness, because II has no citrus etc - it is not a fresh and summery fragrance like tdh. In fact, it could be some variation of Hermes in a black Le Parfum bottle. Good performance (my bottle is 4 yo) - can easily handle the winter season. When I noticed that the creator of this composition is Nathalie Lorson, I smiled - because in fact it is very much in her style. If you like very masculine fragrances, then this is money well spent.

I think this perfume is the closest alternative to Terre d’Hermès. The scent feels very natural and has very little synthetic character. I usually wear it during autumn and on colder days in spring. The only downside is that after about 2–3 hours it becomes very close to the skin. If it had better performance, it would be a much better product. In terms of clothing style, I think it fits better with classic and smart-casual outfits. I also believe it can adapt to almost any environment except nightclubs. Longevity: 5.9/10 Scent Quality: 6/10 Price: 9/10

I too get the TdH comparison but only at first spray or from the nozzle. It quickly dries down to a dry, pepper, Ambergris and Violet scent that I really like. I got this on a 'damaged packaging' deal so a great price and the batch code tells me it is a 3 year old bottle but still this projects nicely without being offensive. It is smart manly as opposed to rugged manly. I'd happily buy this again. My next Bentley selection is going to be Bentley For Men Absolute - The GpH comparisons are just too enticing. :o)

This is the kind of fragrance i like, it is a bit spicy and fresh, and it reminds me of another fragrance that i cant really point out at the moment, good one from bentley but if you want the really good stuff buy Bentley for men intense EDP and Absolute man for men EDP they are the really great stuff from the company.

A real fresh musky green fragrence. It smells fantastic and I think it could be an all season all ocassion type scent. My issue is that the performance was boderline. Its was all but gone at about 5 hours on my skin. I used the whole sample vial too so that's about 10-12 sprays.

I do get slight reminiscence of Terre d'Hermes, but this fragrance much spicier than Terre. A bit harsh at the opening, but don't give up too soon, for this perfume will give you a warm feeling that makes you comfort. Another good perfume from Bentley!

Underrated. Excellent value for money fragrance. I wear it to the office and it lasts throughout with decent projection. The bottle is kinda flimsy though, the metal part on top became loose after few days.

Smells great but gives me a headache. Loved when I bought from the shop, but every time I use it, the smell causes headache. So I only use one spray at the back of my neck so I don't smell it.

I like it, but nothing special. I find it generic. It lacks the "wow" factor. Nice fragrance though for Spring / Summer / hot weather. Average projection and longevity.
