Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Intense
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - La Fumee
This one's a divisive gem. For some, it's a sophisticated, churchy incense masterpiece; for others, it's just 'another niche incense' or worse, a cumin-forward sweat-fest. Best to sample, as skin chemistry plays a huge role here.
