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.
Tom Ford Noir Anthracite is a discontinued masterpiece that splits opinion: a love-it-or-hate-it scent for serious fragrance enthusiasts rather than casual wearers. Expect bold, unapologetic masculinity that screams 'old money' or 'action hero'.
