Infinite Rush

Bentley Infinity Rush has a pleasant opening, mixing sharp orange, vetiver, and spicy accords. The orange feels crips and sweet, almost like a mandarin. The rosemary and pink pepper add a nice spicy touch but soft. The vetiver and elemi add a green touch to the fragrance but it isn’t as strong as the orange note which continues to lead the fragrance; The woodsy and cedar notes are soft and add depth to the scent, nicely balanced. The moss and white musk act as a boosting vehicle but without being prominent. The fragrance is relatively linear, it looses some of its initial projection but for the most part, the opening notes continue into the dry down. As the fragrance dries down, the amber creates a soft powdery projecting accord and the woody notes become more clear. Once Bentle Infinity Rush has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a moderate projection, sweet orange, and green (mostly vetiver) fragrance with spicy, woody and soft musky accords. The fragrance feels casual, classy, and modern, clean, diurnal, fresh, natural, playful, sharp, sporty, unique, versatile, and very pleasant. BATCH REVIEWED: 2020 WOW RATING: 9/10.

Yet another blind buy from Bentley and I am very pleased! Bentley seriously makes competitive fragrances. I like to review fragrances by comparing notes by other similar ones because I think it increases the chances for readers to have a good idea as they might have tested or owned not the scent in question but the ones they are compared to. Infinite Rush opens very fresh with pink pepper, it indeed does smell like the pink peppercorn essential oil or the actual crushed leaves of the tree. Crispy, metallic, lemony, herbal and cold. Next major notes to my nose are vetiver and cedar (not the essential oil but more airy like Iso E Super). I immediately thought of Lalique Encre Noire A L'Extreme and Bentley Absolute for the powdery pencil shavings note without the smoke. There are hints from the Narciso Bleu for him, Cartier Declaration, Terre d'Hermes...You get it, vetiver with citruses on a bed of Iso E Super. Vetiver and pencil shavings together. I really like it. This can be the summer variant of the group, because it is really fresh and smells like there are pink pepper trees around or leaves of mastic shrubs throughout the shores of a Mediterranean island. As expected, this fragrance is not very strong. Sillage might be better assuming the hefty dose of Iso E Super. Longevity is moderate. It could come back with body heat a bit, time will show. Overall, if you like peppery, woody and metallic vetiver scents this will not fail you and a good choice if you want to spend less. Very good value for money IMO. There are niche fragrances that are similar to this such as Ormonde Jayne - Isfarkand, this one is a sleeper.

Great fragrance, and an uplifting peppery one. A blast of pink pepper and mandarin, through cedar and vetiver, and a woody ambery dry down. As a skin scent it lasts all day on my skin, and maybe a couple of hours silage. Attractive metallic Bentley bottle design representative of the brand, the only downside is that you can't see how much juice is left in it. As for comparisons with Burberry The Beat, which I have and slightly prefer, there are similarities - Infinite Rush is lighter at the beginning and creamier at the end, more Metrosexual. The Beat features black pepper, thyme, violet leaf and vetiver at the end, more of an out and out spicy masculine fragrance with similar longevity and silage to the Bentley. It has a see through bottle so you can see how much is left. Both great fragrances to suit different moods and noses so treat yourself to one of each if you love pepper.

Sampled today in world exclusive London launch at famous department store. Great summer scent that truly connects with the poster/ ad campaign with a pungent pink pepper/ aromatic mandarine opening (the breezy aromatic summer holiday), followed by a dry, hot basenote = vetiver/ cedar accord (the clay soil after the rain mixed with musks) and that weird but wonderful 'wet concrete' wall with white emulsion treatment (white wash) that you find in countries like Greece. Is this the Elemi note? It is a fabulous play on abstract hot and cold, wet and dry concepts and I imagine this to work beautifully on a really hot dry day in say Dubai, Abu Dhabi, etc. Great delivery on connecting poster with actual scent. 9/10 for a super summer scent. I wished it lasted a bit longer, especially that yummy mandarine citrus note!

Yes, similar to Burberry The Beat, but better and more mature/serious. Less pungent because instead of the yuzu there's orange. Classy fresh pepper/orange with citrusy vetiver. If you are not a citrus scent lover, which I am, you will like this. It's unique just as The Beat is unique, which I thought of buying, but today I smelled Infinite Rush and I'll buy this one instead. Blind buy worthy. Longevity is great. Edit: also similar to Intense Pepper, but that one is very dry and cold. Its lifeless to me. Infinite Rush is mostly Cedramber if I'm not mistaken.
