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.
This is a seriously polarising perfume, generating either intense love or visceral repulsion. Darling Nikki is a provocative, clean-dirty scent that demands attention. Prepare for comments, good or bad - this isn't a wallflower, but it's never boring.
