An Ideal Cologne
This was a semi-blind buy for me. Had not actually tried it but saw reviews and had tried the EdT, EdP and Cool. Since I quite liked all the others I decided to give this a shot
This has an amazing citrus note that lasts the better part of the initial 2h. After the first hour that citrus starts fading away to the background and a sweet, delicate almondy smell that was previously the background switches places to the foreground.
Performance is weak but reasonable for a freshie summer fragrance.
Projection and sillage are low. Longevity is also low at 5-6h, but this has passed the "wife test". First day wearing this, just when I thought it was gone after some 5h, my wife arrived and said "you smell good" :)
Versatily is great. In summer or warmer spring days anyone can use this. It has a very classy scent, but it is not so formal that you can't wear it casually.
This is discontinued from what I read, but can be found online easily and with discounts.

Great summer/spring fragrance with a twist
It's a pity that there are very few videos and reviews of this fragrance, I find it to be a very good option for warmer weather.
While this is fresh, it has spiciness and a touch of leather/suede all wrapped in an almost creamy base. This is not your typical freshie, and I quite like that.
Performance is under par. The scent is low key and subdued; discreet and restrained to a fault. Projection and sillage are low. Longevity is not as bad as it may seem at first. I have not used this much, but I typically get faint wiffs of it after 6h.
Prices, as usual for Bentley, are very good if you buy online. It cost me 32 euros for 100ml.
Anyone out for a fresh or summer scent and who does not need a "shouter" should give this a try if they come by it.

Nice, versatile and cheap fragrance
First off, Momentum Intense is considered similar to CH Men. IMHO, there are some similarities but BMI does its own thing and is not a clone by any means. Gone is the leather note from CH Men and it is fresher, with something of an aquatic aspect. To my nose, CH Men is much smoother and sensual than BMI.
For reference I would say this is a mix of 2/3 CH Men (minus the leather) with 1/3 Dylan Blue. This is a gross oversimplification but it gives you an idea.
As far as performance, I get good performance out of this. Projection is average, 1-2h of moderate projection, then it starts diminishing slowly to a skin scent. Longevity is very good. I usually wear this to work, spray it at around 8:00, and at 18:00 when I get home I can still smell it, though it is weak by then. As a disclaimer I have only tried it spring/summer, but I imagine this will work all year round except the hottest and coldest days.
Price is very good at around 30-35€ for 100ml online.
All in all this is a nice cheap fragrance that although not mind-blowingly good, has good performance, is office friendly and as such it can be a good addition to a beginner's collection like me :) or someone who just wants an affordable versatile fragrance for everyday use.
