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 Notes, 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 woody-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.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

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.
