Legendary cheapo creation from Nathalie Lorson, who is very accomplished at making a very few, inexpensive ingredients go a long way (Encre Noir is another one of her works).
What you get here isn't in any way radical. It's a boozy, sweet wood-floral-incense combo. But it's very well executed, and smells pretty much what you would expect an owner of a Bentley to smell like: wealthy, well turned-out, kind of classy, mature, perhaps a little conservative in outlook. In actuality, they'd probably be wearing bloody Sauvage, but this is an infinitely more preferable option, scent-wise.
To quote that guy from Man Vs Food... "Oh my goodness...OH...MY...GOODNESS!" I've finally got this fragrance, blind bought as I couldn't find it anywhere in the UK, despite Bentley being a overtly British brand. I couldn't be happier unwrapping the satisfyingly chunky bottle and well thought out cap design, smelling a slight remnant on the sprayer as I was doing so. The first sparay to me was a magic carpet ride of sandalwood and spices and L'air du desert marocain immediately sprung to mind. It stays that way for ten minutes or so then becomes a boozier more amber focused manly scent. I'd say it's a beutiful fresh faced, love child of LDDM, Dirty English, Lubin Idole, and Tom Ford for Men...maybe with a hint of Amouage Epic in there for good measure. I think it's the incense and greasy (in a good way) drydown that reminds me of Amouage, praise indeed. Well , I've boarded the hype train well and truly, very glad I listened to the countless reviewers and champions of this fragrance on fragrantica, Tony T not least of them. When many informed people get behind something you pretty much know it has special qualities to offer, doesn't make you a sheep or weak minded. If I thought this was a dud or had no merit even if it wasnt to my tastes....I would just say so. Thankfully, Bentley Intense is an amazing fragrance, truly a wonderful addition to my wardrobe and something I will reach for in the future. Perfromance/silage and projection seem pretty good so far....It's a winner this one. Update: thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed wearing this fragrance today, what a treat it is. Good lasting power more complexity in the drydown, sweet booziness a hint of vanilla, rum n coke, Baldessarini Ambre/chambre noire...and an earthy patchouli. This fragrance is quite simply show stopping and I'm well and truly in love.
Good Rum spicy scent, great for the price!
