Bentley Fragrances Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Nathalie Lorson. Intense opens with Bergamot, Pepper, and Bay Leaf, settles into a heart of Woody, Geranium, Cinnamon, and Clary Sage, and dries down to a base of Leather, Cedar, Patchouli, and Benzoin. Bentley Fragrances's Intense carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh spicy-led wear.

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.

About

Bentley for Men Intense opens with a sharp, peppery kick from black pepper and bay leaf, quickly joined by a rich, boozy rum accord. As it settles, warm cinnamon and woody notes emerge, balanced by a smoky incense and dark, worn leather. The dry down is deep and resinous with benzoin and patchouli, creating a powerful, long-lasting aroma that's both complex and unapologetically masculine.
