  1. Looking for a daily fragrance, I came across Benton. Online, especially in Mexico, it’s available at ridiculous prices: $290 or $95 on eBay for a single 50ml bottle. To me, those prices are unjustifiable; that’s why I paid around $30 for the last one available, a price I think is more than fair. My first impression reminded me of Escada’s Magnetism, that discontinued classic that’s hard to find, but much less potent, almost in a disconcerting way. Benton opens with a very youthful fruity note, with easy gourmand twists that fade quickly to leave a powdery tonka over an intense wood base. The blend is refined and cheerful, with amber nuances that make it opaque and dry. Unlike its sibling Maximum, here the effective opening turns towards more sober grounds. It feels complex, well-assembled and harmonious, yet discreet. It’s versatile because it’s not intrusive or trying to be alpha male; it seems like an almost single-note scent where a quality woody tonka reigns, ideal for rainy or mild days if applied correctly. In short, today its price still remains unjustifiable.
