If I were asked to describe Bentley Absolute in one word I’d say: SMOOTH!!! Man is this juice just smooth. It smells luxurious and positively masculine. I love the scent, but i find it difficult to wear often. The notes of incense and freshly chopped wood remind me too much of the traditions and holidays of North American winter. And, to wear this fragrance in any other season but the winter, to me, seems plain WRONG. The opening on BA is divine! Hands down the best opening of any cologne that I own. That blast of fresh pencil shavings and smoky and spicy incense...it just...I don’t...aaaarrrrrggggg it does something to me!!! I don’t usually care about the openings of fragrances (because they're so fleeting), but I absolutely adore this one, and wish there was no scent development with BA, just that opening. Don't get me wrong, I like the dry down too, but I like the opening more. When this juice does dry down it’s dark and sultry and smooth. This is the smell of an Arabian prince, I think. I’m pretty sure one of the Magi who went to visit Jesus at his birth was wearing Bentley Absolute! 😂 This stuff feels less like a cologne, and more like an extremely rare and expensive anointing oil.

Thanks you Joy for your take on this Bentley. Always love sitting down with coffee in the morning and listen to you. Great Passion!

Hi Joy,

You are my talking fragrantica!

Hi Joy, thanks for the video, The absolute is a great fragrance, could be a little stronger (projection) but a fantastic smell. The Bentley intense is a great one too. Keep up the good work 👍

Such a respectable brand is Bentley....Nice scents with reasonable prices...thanx for videos ...Greeting from Iran.

I just bought this one today! I can't wait for it to come in the mail!

I like your passion for fragrances. Months ago I purchased Bentley intense after watching your review. I currently have absolute and azure from Bentley coming.

I Absolutely love your videos, thanks for sharing. Excellent stuff.

Great video. I love Bentley Absolute, and get excellent performance out of it. Maybe your cold affected your ability to smell parts of it? I will definitely be looking forward to your full review, and this one is probably better for cooler weather.

It's very smooth and nice fragrance.

Just got my bottle today. It does have a woody smell but it clearly have an incense smell similar to what I would smell in the candle burning area section of many catholic churches I attended. That area where you pay a few bucks to light a candle and make a wish.

I agree with every word you said.

I want to get Bentley for men Intense from a friend... buy it :). awesome..

I am 45 years old and I thank you Sir for introducing me to Bentley for Men Intense! I am in love with this scent. I find it to be warm and somehow creamy. It’s complex but smooth, that’s it, very smooth and boozy! A nice mellow rum and vanilla. My daughters who are 11 and 9 love the scent on me. My wife says it’s warm and manly on me. For a mature, successful, very confident alpha male type of man. Not for kids. Younger men in their 20’s with an “old soul” mature personality rocking business like suits can use this. I am grateful for your review of this fragrance. I will keep my Bentley for Men Intense.

Hi I am looking for some complement getting perfumes in reasonable price range. Please suggest some from house of armaf, rasasi and bentley, Davidoff.

So in other words BUY IT! :)

I got better performance from bentley intense which was surprising) I own Comme Des Garcon 2 man and Gucci Pour Homme , all of them are great but I think that from all Gucci Pour Homme clones Montale Greyland is best)

Can't find anyone to compare Bentley against Le Labo Santal 33 (when 1st can out "hamster cage").

Hi Joy! I'm from Iran! I love your reviews! They're really great! I was thinking about buying Bentley absolute and now, after seeing this video, I'm gonna buy it! Thanks for uor videos! 👍👍👍
