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.
A seriously sophisticated woody-spicy fragrance that's a dead ringer for Creed Royal Oud for many, though its subtle projection means Houbigant has nailed 'quiet luxury' with this one. Some find the performance lacklustre, but the scent itself is pretty much universally adored.
