Bentley For Men Absolute by Bentley is a Amber Woody fragrance for men. Bentley For Men Absolute was launched in 2014. The nose behind this fragrance is Michel Almairac. Top notes are Pink Pepper and Ginger; middle notes are Olibanum, Papyrus and Sandalwood; base notes are Atlas Cedar, Agarwood (Oud), Amber and Moss, according to Fragrantica. Bentley Absolute is held in high regard! The rating is high, but I feel it is still under appreciated. The opening is a fresh frankincense supported by a ginger and pepper. The opening lasts just 5min, thus no reason to speak about it for hours. The frankincense, spices, and varied woods make this a very sober and rich experience. It is perfectly warm and oriental with no note out of balance with the whole. The cedar wood ... MoreBentley For Men Absolute by Bentley is a Amber Woody fragrance for men.

The opening lasts just 5min, thus no reason to speak about it for hours. The frankincense, spices, and varied woods make this a very sober and rich experience. It is perfectly warm and oriental with no note out of balance with the whole. The cedar wood continues into the heart and base, but olibanum begins to appear and makes this even more special. I also get some kind of airy sweetness that's very faint. Not sure what it is, but it works perfectly and makes for an overall mellow experience. The drydown is a sweet frankincense supported by a subtle medicinal oud (just a supporting note here). Maybe also a hint of vetiver? (Hard to identify the amber note, since amber is more a "perception" than a real smell, but the drydown here would qualify this fragrance has an amber fragrance) It has been said that this smells like pencil shavings, that is not entirely true but does have a mild vibe to that accord. I’ve done a comparative test with the original GPH on my right hand (batch 0273) and the Bentley on my left. Well, Bentley Absolute is not a xerox copy of Gucci1 but it's a nice substitute giving me the same olfactory feel. They smell almost identical, the only difference is that the Bentley comes across a bit brighter with a slight leathery oud nuance, whereas the Gucci in the dry down has a more prominent incense note. You won't get any closer than this. You might not think so looking at the notes, but if you didn't know it, you'd think they were identical. So, unless you're a collector, have plenty of discretionary income or you just have to have that beautiful bottle (matching your GPH II bottle), I would skip GPH because of the silly asking prices over 300£/€ and get this. #bentleyformenabsolute #bentley #perfumeblogger #fragrancecollector #fragrancereview #smell #eaudeparfum #influencer#influenster...

Ok y’all, this right here is a a gem!!!! This is a woody, amber fragrance that has a nice vibe about it. Michel Almairac is the perfumer behind this bad boy. Here is a little fun fact. Michel Almairac is the perfumer behind Gucci pour homme , which is discontinued and if you find it it’s gonna cost 500 and up. I have seen it up to 800 in places. Bentley absolute is by the same perfumer as Gucci PH but a little different but almost identical. If you like wood fragrances than look no farther. This has Oud, cedar and moss at the dry down and Sandalwood and papyrus in the mid. The opening has some ginger but rather light. The one note I do get through the whole thing is Incense. Also, has a little smoke with some spice to it. This is a great, GREAT fragrance and is the ... MoreOk y’all, this right here is a a gem!!!!

Once again, if you like woody, oriental this is a must have. Follow 4 Follow!!... Show more

A Venture With Violet.
Not one of Bentley's best frags from their range. Before dry-down, I found it sour-citrus, strong violet flowery with wood accents undertoning. I prefer Bentley Intense, so this was a complete difference. It still has the Bentley DNA but after dry-down, woody sillage was moderate as was projection but violet still emerged above all else to linger on. Remember that frags work differently from person to person as nobody's Ph levels are the same and also natural body oils, plus hot/dry/moist/sweaty skin decide on longevity. Overall its fussy so 3/5... Show more

Bentley For Men Black Edition 100Ml Eau De Parfum EDP Spray
This is an awesome fragrance that is suitable for any occasion. I bought Amore and Bella several years ago I love both but Amore is my favorite. What many people do not know or realize is, not everyone can wear this fragrance or any fragrance. The reason is because of your body chemistry mixed with a fragrance gives off a different aroma. What smells heavenly on someone else, may not smell the same on you. So dont go out buying a fragrance just because it smells amazing on someone else. No matter how much you hear others rave over it, never buy a fragrance until youve tested it on yourself. No fragrance is made for everybody and most everybody will have a different opinion. My opinion, its definitely not for teenagers and its definitely not just for older women. ... MoreThis is an awesome fragrance that is suitable for any occasion.

This fragrance has a very wide range of who can wear it and occasions its suitable for. Myself, I wear it on every occasion, dressed up, dressed down or anywhere. Why, because it makes me smell and feel fresh, while it fits right into every occasion.... Show more

My favorite from Bentley!
So I finally added this to my collection and couldn't be more stoked! This fragrance from Bentley smells bloody heavenly! Allot of people say it reminds them of the original Pour Homme by Gucci. I can see that, mixed in with a little of Burberry Brit for him. In the opening you get the ginger with some spice! It's the dry down where it becomes even more gorgeous! Performance on me was decent! I got 8 to 9 hrs on my skin. 👌Bentley for Men Absolute is a masculine woody-Oriental fragrance and was launched in 2014. The fragrance was created by perfumer Michel Almairac.Top notes are Ginger, Pink peppercorn, Frankincense. Heart notes are Papyrus, Atlas cedarwood, and Sandalwood. Base notes are Oud, Ambergris, and Moss.For more reviews please visit my IG page ... MoreSo I finally added this to my collection and couldn't be more stoked!

Very underrated!
This is definitely different from it's predecessors. It's not boozy at all. It's more of a calmer scent. It also has a very old school vibe to it. This is fresher than the original, though I feel like this is more suitable for the fall and cooler spring seasons. The opening is spicy with a a hint of the tangerine being dominant scent in the opening. The dry down is pretty woody. I do get some tonka and incense after it settles on my skin. Performance is pretty decent. I get 7 to 8 hours on my skin with a hour or so of projection. This is pretty mature fragrance and a great office and maybe as a date night scent. 😉Bentley For Men Black Edition Eau de Parfum was launched at the end of 2018 and was created by Dorothée Piot.Top notes are Pepper, Violets, Tangarina ...
