Bentley Infinite Rush
Bentley (2016)

Has some similarities with specific notes that I also get from Bentley for Men Intense. However, this is more clean, casual, and sweeter. It's not a sweet scent but it is sweeter than Bentley for Men Intense. Missing the big incense and leather that I think really draws people to that scent. But again, has some similarities and definitely is using that DNA.

Projection is average/good, easily detectable during wearings. Longevity should be good for work but not much beyond that. In the 7-8 hour range.

Well I thought I'd give Bentley another shot after the disappointment that is Bentley for Men Intense.

But this one sucks too.

Strong tiger balm vibe on the opening. Becomes less eucalyptus like and more hexyl cinnamal like in the drydown. "Well that's good right?" Ehm no, because its vibe just changes from tiger balm to the scent of Voltaren Emulgel anti-inflammatory skin gel (a Diclofenac containing gel). I'm not quick to compare a scent to some other existing product but Bentley makes me do just that, twice.

Now this isn't a bad scent for a medicinal skin cream but what a JOKE Bentley pulls off here again. Not going anywhere near Bentley again.

You see the notes list and expect a scent that can hang with Spicebomb... but man will you be let down. Total fraud of a notes list. Should be: Elemi, Eucalyptus, Cinnamon, Black pepper, maybe a hint of a powdery Iris.

Cheap Chinese incense sticks is what you get from for Men Intense.

Tiger balm and Voltaren from this one.

Not very good imo, granted it smells nice, it's very bland and done to death. It's mostly just Iso E, and lots of it. The opening claims a mandarin note, I get more of a lemon, but either way, it definitely smells nice. there's a little pink pepper there on top giving it that almost fruity peppery smell. Then basically after 10 minutes or so, it turns into nothing but Iso E Super, and dries down like this. Not that I dislike Iso E, but it sure wasn't what I was expecting. Then again, I should have read the notes better, because anytime in something modern you see "vetiver" and "cedar next to one another, it's 9 times out of 10 gonna be nothing but Iso E.

The enthusiasm of the previous reviewer also had be excited, but I guess different strokes, as the saying goes. This is a bland short 10 minute simplistic spicy citrus opening, with a very common Iso E dominant dry down, and not much else. Also kind of reminds me of Voyage d'Hermes, without the lemon and tea.

Absolute top 5 from the first day of wearing. Pleasant to the nose and to others and lasts very long for a EDT. Legendary on every level and you cannot possibly beat that price
