    I got absolute a week ago. Both are so different and so good that I can't decide which I like more. Absolute is lighter so it can be used in more situations but it lasts very little. Bentley intense lasts forever and is darker and more boozy.

    I am 45 years old and I thank you Sir for introducing me to Bentley for Men Intense! I am in love with this scent. I find it to be warm and somehow creamy. It’s complex but smooth, that’s it, very smooth and boozy! A nice mellow rum and vanilla. My daughters who are 11 and 9 love the scent on me. My wife says it’s warm and manly on me. For a mature, successful, very confident alpha male type of man. Not for kids. Younger men in their 20’s with an “old soul” mature personality rocking business like suits can use this. I am grateful for your review of this fragrance!!

      @@Sir_P/videos It has a somewhat heavy cedar scent and a musky frankincense note. I like it but that's because I like heavy and unique fragrances, but I wouldn't say it's the mass-appealing variety. It's certainly better than many generic ones out there, but it may not very versatile due to it's dark characteristics. I haven't tried Bentley for Men or Bentley Intense, but I would probably go for either of those instead based on the positive reviews (Joy Amin did a review of the 10 underrated Designer Fragrances very recently - Bentley Men is said to be the most versatile of the two).

    My Bentley Intense Eud De Parfum arrived yesterday and its absolute=ly beautiful, such an expensive smelling long lasting frag of leather, rum, tobacco and other deeply enchanting spices. It has easily landed on my top shelf as one of the best and one to own. Now...what about the Absolute? Maybe...maybe not...so undecided here whether to add it to the collection. 🤔✨ Dammit I have so many frags already..how many can a man have? 😜

    Michel Almairac was the perfumer for Absolute. Nathalie Lorson did Intense. While I love them both, I rarely find a reason or an occasion to wear Bentley Intense. Some say it's mainly for winter, but I just can't seem to find the right scenario for it. Maybe dressed up, or a special occasion.

    • @jezebulls
      @jezebulls 7 місяців тому

  • @mikew6135
    @mikew6135 Рік тому +1

    I agree with another comment. You just use less juice. Tone it down. No need to go crazy on the sprays with a powerful scent. The fragrance either smells nice or it doesn't. Hard to understand some of the reasons given by Fragrance hoarders to not use a scent. Oh well. I've got a bottle of Intense on the way and I'm sure I'll Absolutely use it whenever I want. Stay strong!

    Lovely in depth descriptions Dan. Absolu is definitely my number 1 number 3 in the Bentley PH line of 3, ahead of Bentley, which is number 1 but not number 1. Intense has to be number 2, but doesn't smell like Gucci number 1. That's Absolu. Number 1, number 2 flanker of 3. Maybe 4. 100%.

    Both great for wearing in a smoky old bar (If they allowed them anymore) Lots of leather and booze and suitable for 40 plus only. It's definitely in your face on opening and still great 4 hours later. It's a bit too sweet for me though as I'm old school.

    Not considered it so far because I also agree that my Intense, which I thoroughly enjoy, is limited in where it's appropriate to wear. Not as versatile as some.
    Having said that, half of the buggers in Walsall Town centre don't know what regular application of soap and hot water is so I have been known to wear it just to scut around the shops in jeans.

  • @slicksnewonenow
    @slicksnewonenow Рік тому

    So... Does "absolute" mean that it ABSOLUTELY smells like someone dumped out the pencil sharpener into the rabbit hutch, after spilling about half a shot of rum?
    I waited for a few years to pull the trigger on the Intense, because I'm pretty leery of any "new" or modern fragrances.
    I love the "classic" stuff... Unfortunately because of reformation and cheapening up on ingredients, most of the old timers just ain't what they once were.
    But because I've heard so many great things about Bentley Intense, I went ahead and ordered it.
    I couldn't wait to get it!
    When it finally arrived, I was like a kid at Christmas... Until I sprayed it.
    I was ecstatic at the rum note until it absolutely disappeared in about ten minutes.
    Mid drydown was nothing but incredibly pungent bay and patchouli... Which stuck around for the final drydown, but had just a faint vanilla and iris on top.
    It turned into a weak skin scent within about three hours, and is completely gone on me within six.
    I didn't get any leather, incense or cinnamon ANYWHERE in the composition.
    And that's funny to me, considering that I've been a real fragrance junky for the last forty years.
    I may have just gotten my hands on a lousy bottle... But what a turn off.

    @pauljoyce7631 5 років тому

    The Bentley Intense has a great smell....Yes it will be strong if you spray two or three generous sprays .......But if you go light on the trigger...you can balance it very well and you will get compliments. Bentley Intense was made to be worn and not stowed away in the scared to wear box. The perfumer was confident of this when she blended the juice
    It works very well with smart casual ....as well as a suit.....The opening maybe "in your face.....but the dry down is not ( unless of course you over spray).

    I have Bentley for Men Intense, Black Edition and Absolute...
    Intense ia the most masculine, dark, smoky, mature. The most masculine of just about any brand i have tried. Lasts like a beast, projects like a rocket (seriously 😅). Not all room, but all hall is filled with the smell. Can be felt even in the open space outside. This is crazy, but amazing 💥.
    Absolute i like the least out of all 3 that i have.
    Black Edition is incredible, out of this world. It's a blue fragrance. Totaly contra of it's "dark" name. What to say, except... Imagine a hybrid between next fragrances: Versace Dylan Blue, Blue De Chanel, ADG Profondo, Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Eau Intense and Bvlgari Aqva Atlantique. In only this one bottle you get the best of all the best blue fragrances. Get it without thinking 👌🏻.

    Funny! Trying to make sense of the nomenclature aside, in this case, Intense is much more complex than Absolute. I own a bottle of I and a sample of A and A does smell very close to Gucci Pour Homme (I) in the drydown, and that really is it's glory. It's taken 2 years for Intense to really grow on me, but I finally get it. The vanilla, the incense, the bay leaf, it's really wonderful and the drydown lasts for ages on clothing.

I might give spraying it on my shirt a go in an attempt to hold on to the opening a bit. I don’t get any post-opening sweetness until it’s time to re-spray. I wish it were sweeter for me.

He blind bought it; big mistake. So he learned a very valuable lesson there. Even I tried it and I wouldn't recommend this to my worst enemy. To each their own I guess.

    Note: never smelled Bentley nor Santal 33. I have Gucci ph i and hate it in the winter (peppered vanilla) just like I hate TF Oud Wood in the winter.
    Anyways, what's different between Santal 33 and Bentley, besides pickles/incense differences, are they both cedar shavings hamster/pencil to novice noses?
