Gentlemen Only Intense

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.
Givenchy Gentlemen Only Intense is a polarising scent - some laud its smooth, dark masculinity, others dismiss it as ordinary with disappointing performance. Often compared to designer peers, its appeal largely hinges on whether you get past the initial blast and experience its full drydown.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its smoky, sensual character and often-criticised moderate projection make it less suitable for the office or casual daywear. However, the rich amber-leather profile and 'date night' appeal, as mentioned by reviewers, boost its fit for formal events or romantic evenings.
