Just lovely in the wintertime...

I just love this fragrance on a freezing cold winters morning... rich, boozy leather with hints of rum.
It dries down quite quickly, within appr. 15 minutes most of the alcoholic notes disappear and leave you smelling like the interior of a brand new car with leather seats - very masculine.

That being said, I am rather disappointed of the projection and sillage - after two hours it's toned down to a skinscent and after four hours it's completely gone on me - completely!

Of course you could bring an atomizer and reapply around noon, but make sure your boss isn't around for the first quarter of an hour, or he'll think you've been having drinks on your lunch break ;-)

Great presentation in a classy, heavy glass bottle, just oozing quality - I wish the scent would do justice to this.

One-handed clapping in Grossheppach

....or why you can't play soccer with beak shoes, the next soccer world cup in Qatar takes place as a radio play and a freshly engraved tattoo including a freshly laid permanent wave is simply "state of the art" for professional soccer players. Where: 99% of the professionals run around with Undercut as if there was only one hairstyle...
In fact, during the 90-minute event, most professional footballers nowadays are more concerned with the correct fit of their hair by constantly looking up at the giant video cube than with the dreaded "No-Look-Pass" that Stevie Wonder dominated in his prime as Timbuktu's central stopper.
Those were still times when Rudi Völler wore open minipli, Frank Rijkaard regularly supplied him with hair gel on the pitch and Gerd Müller pulled the ruffle out of the blonde mat with a straightening iron in the halftime break Günter Netzer.
After the "Amouage Interlude Man-Teilverriss" now an oriental or gourmand scent that can do something and which you should wear in any case with beak shoes (with or without bobbles) and traditional thawb (caftan) in your living room in the style of the Gelsenkirchen baroque.
The no longer so acute hype around Bentley for men led to a purchase, all the more as Nathalie Lorson is responsible for the fragrance. The fragrance should be similar to "boozy" as the Intenseversion - the rum note is meant - but it does not lead to comatose states of consciousness. The mentioned pepper does not lead to the Katharr either and the patinated leather armchair towards the end also does its job. Actually no friend of sweetness but that is similarly skillfully used, speak discreetly, as in Giorgio Bevely Hills for Men. Great.
In addition to the Giorgio, another fragrance that provokes positive public attention - even if only in the form of lascivious glances in the queue at Lidl at the checkout ...
The fragrance costs only one tenth of the Amouage fragrances, which should actually be called "am Ar*h" (if you look at your account statements at the end of the month)...
In any case, Kevin still has something for Jackeline or Chantalle on Friday or Saturday evening - a handbag Chiwawa, a 10 pack Botox or a squat intensive course with Patrice for a more voluminous Gluteus Maximus (butt).
If you are irreversibly traumatized by Tinder, you should try Bentley for Men at Lidl, Kik or in relevant nouveau riche malls while shopping (swinging an aperol from your wrist in your left hand). Well, done!

Another Excellent Bentley Release Overshadowed By Its Outstanding Sister Scent...

Bentley for Men opens with a relatively sweet bergamot and laurel tandem with just a hint of underlying cinnamon. As the composition enters its early heart phase it turns slightly boozy as a fine benzoin sweetened rum joins smooth woods, with the remaining prominent laurel and subtle cinnamon tagging along. During the late dry-down the benzoin driven sweetness tones down considerably with suede leather joining remnants of the smooth woods and cinnamon-laced rum as the composition gently fades. Projection is average, as is longevity at 7-9 hours on skin.

After having such a positive experience with my blind buy of Bentley for Men Intense earlier, the expectations for the regular Bentley for Men by the same perfumer were understandably quite high. Largely Bentley for Men is up to the task and proves another excellent outing by Lorson in 2013. While the two sister compositions are quite similar in structure, there are some differences that distinguish them. Bentley for Men Intense has a much richer boozy demeanor than the lighter all-around style of Bentley for Men. By "lighter" I do not mean watered down, but rather less deep, less boozy and gourmand, less projection and longevity; and at the end of the day somehow a bit less distinctive. If I had not already tried the superior smelling Intense I would be singing this composition's praise more forcefully, calling it one of the best releases of the year (which it certainly is), but the Intense just takes the shared base accord to new heights and is the one most folks will want in their collection. The bottom line is the $90 per 100ml bottle Bentley for Men is an excellent composition, overshadowed by its even better sister scent, still earning an "excellent" 4 stars out of 5 rating. If you already own Intense, Bentley for Men probably is not needed, but the reverse does not hold.
