Infinite Intense by Bentley

In the world of scents, there is something for every taste and budget. This perfume fulfills almost everything perfectly. It is very masculine, versatile, and distinguished; I read reviews and frankly, I don’t understand them. People are using Arabic perfumes everywhere, they all smell the same and get advertised heavily. This one stands out from the average and has great personality. I am of the opinion that if you like it, wear it; it suits whatever season you prefer, though for me it is spring, autumn, and winter due to that characteristic wood-forest touch. It is not sweet and does not carry vanilla. It is MALESCINE.

I bought it blindly, didn’t know it, and for $18 the deal is not wasted. I loved the scent; it is a spiced floral opening, somewhat like Savage Elixir. After five minutes, the full potential emerges: a very musky amber combined with vetiver and patchouli gives a citrusy and slightly sweet touch that fascinated me. I use it entirely for daytime, with casual or semi-formal clothing; it is ideal for very versatile use from the office to a restaurant or outdoors. It has certain similarities to Terre in the dry down due to vetiver, patchouli, and cedar notes, but the dry down is very different. Ideal for people 30 years and older, it is a very mature and serious scent, although it can also work for younger people depending on taste. Longevity is about six hours with two hours of projection. Scent: 8/10, Quality: 9/10, Price: 10/10, Longevity: 7/10. Is it recommended? Yes, by price and by scent. As an alternative to Terre, no, but if you are looking for something similar at a good price, do not hesitate and buy it.

Despite sharing the same brand, it has nothing to do with Bentley For Men Intense, whose shadow is long, muuuuy long. Infinite Intense cannot be compared to it in terms of scent type, longevity, or originality/personality. This is merely a typical men’s fragrance trying to summarise itself in the fewest words possible, let’s say, a spiced, peppery note close to many of that cut on the market. Suitable for a mature, serious man with very all-terrain usage. It projects, trails, and lasts as one-third of the legendary BFMI mentioned at the start. It tells me nothing in any aspect: indifferent. If you are looking for something different, original, and risky for a man… I would not advise this perfume. To add, regarding the comparison with Terre d’Hermès, perhaps only in terms of the target customer and the personality of the person who would choose it. It does not seem to smell similar.

Undoubtedly a classy fragrance; Lalique tries to use good ingredients in their scents, and each one is a success. In terms of value for money, it is excellent. If you want something with the DNA of Terre d’Hermès, more spiced and without the orange, this is a bomb. Scent: 9/10, Longevity: +8 hours, Price: 10/10, Age: 30+. It works excellently for the office, a special dinner, a meeting with your boss, or anything from casual to formal; it suits perfectly.

I read good reviews regarding the Bentley perfume line, but this Infinite Intense doesn’t remind me of Terre d’Hermès at all. It presents a fairly interesting opening, as if it were conceived in the 1980s: masculine, intense, and spiced. Unfortunately, that sensation doesn’t last long, clinging to the skin with a powdery aroma and no sillage, resulting in a ‘poor’ fragrance aimed at someone over 40. I’ll give it a chance to another ‘brother’ from the line, perhaps in EDT form as they seem to have a heavier sillage. I don’t dislike it, but it’s not what I expected.
