Which Should You Buy?
A divisive, beast-mode boozy leather, Bentley for Men Intense is either a cheapie masterpiece or an obnoxious scrubber. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you're after a bold, mature scent for colder climes, this is a seriously strong contender at a bargain price.
Extreme Sussex tracks Bentley For Men Intense's warm, spicy-leather signature: the black-pepper-and-incense opening, labdanum-leather heart and dry cedar-patchouli base all read recognisably. It loses the boozy depth and bruising performance of the original, wearing flatter and skin-close, but as a budget cold-weather woody-leather it lands the masculine, characterful core for a fraction of the price.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and boozy, warm spicy accords, this is too assertive for the office. It excels on colder evenings whether for dates or formal events, offering a luxurious and mature profile that many reviewers associate with sophistication.
Seasons
Warm spice, smoky incense and leathery woods feel rich in cold weather and overbearing in summer heat.
Occasions
Its bold spicy-leather character suits formal evenings and dates more than the office or sport.
