Bentley

For Men Intense

For Men Intense by Bentley is a masculine-leaning eau de parfum from 2013 in the designer price tier. It opens with rum, black pepper and bergamot, moves into cinnamon and leather and dries down to vanilla, amber and cedarwood. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects very strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Rum Boozy, sweet and warm. Adds a grown-up edge to gourmands.
• Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
• Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.

Heart

• Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
• Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.

Dry-down

• Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
• Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
• Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
