Momentum Intense
Bentley (2017)

I wasn't a fan of the opening but the last hour or two is tolerable. It doesn't smell very natural; it leans synthetic. You're getting what you pay for.

Soapy, slightly sweet but with a metallic dryness as well. Fairly spicy, a bit woody, sometimes makes me sneeze.

Overall good for a man between the ages of 30 and 45. A serious scent on opening but one that hints at a clubbing past on drydown. That is, it dries down sweeter and sweeter.

A scent for spring and fall: a bit too sweet for summer and a bit too sharp for winter. A very good, all-around scent at an attractive price-point.

I bought this blindly based on a number of positive reviews and because hey....that's my name. It instantly reminded me of CH Men. CH Men's trademark is its sugar accord, which smells sweet, fresh, and aromatic, almost like the sugary smell of sap from a maple tree or on a pinecone. Momentum Intense employs a very similar accord as its central note, and almost feels like an attempt to copy CH Men. The difference is that Momentum Intense comes across a bit earthier, woodier, floral and dry. Also, the addition of geranium here adds a bit of a cold, bitter-dry spiciness which adds a dimension of seriousness that's missing form CH Men. You could also say that Momentum Intense is more reserved as far as its projection or strength, as it demonstrates a moderate, tempered restraint. In some ways it seems like a more mature version of CH Men. However I don't necessarily mean that as a compliment, because just as it lacks some of CH Men's more youthful vibrancy, it also loses some of its charm. On its own, Momentum Intense would be a very nice scent, it's just hard to compare it to only itself when it has such a recognizable and popular predecessor. It smells nice, and seems to keep the best part of CH Men in tact without adding anything that clashes with it, or ruins it, so it's a pretty good fragrance overall. But it loses points for originality. Thumbs up, but since I own CH Men and CH Men Central Park already, I don't have much use for this.

It smells good. Sythentic sweet. Not to the cloying levels of a full blown gourmand. Kind of a metallic sheen and a little green-ness.

Similar to CH Men but with more spice and less sweetness. Compared to the non-Intense version, just Momentum, Momentum Intense seems greener. But the are very close otherwise.

Good projection during the first 3-4 hours and then it's a little better than a skin scent into the 8 hour range.

Originally, I only tried this for curiosity, with disbelief in car brands producing good perfumes, but - what a surprise! Great bouquet, with a good portion of ambergris, but not lacking fresh tones.
