Bentley Absolute Eau De Parfum For Men, Multicoloured, Woody, 100 ml

Product Information

This is an EDP that wears pretty close to the skin and it's never loud, but the semi-sweet warmth at the heart of the scent persists quite well even as the dry wood burns away. Bentley was a founding member of the CPO Board of Directors, serving more than 20 years including a stint as the board president in 2009. Interactive and fully accessible, the space will feature playground-grade instruments including xylophones, drums and other percussive tones, built in colorful shapes of flowers and trees.

In reality, Absolute is supposedly the resurrection of the long discontinued Gucci Pour Homme, also by Michel Almairac and featuring nearly identical notes. And this feels very much like a spiritual sibling to one of the better Lalique scents and another favorite of mine, Encre Noire a l'Extreme, what with the heavy dose of ISO E "cedar" and the resinous incense note, though Absolute lacks the dank mustiness of l'Extreme's heavy vetiver, and instead feels like a blackened swirl of scorched incense, smoldering spices, and a pile of dry wood just waiting for the bonfire. It's like a combination of the resinous elements of Armani's Bois d'Encens and the sweet and aldehydic notes of 2 Man.It's no surprise that the bottle is beautifully done, or that the ingredient quality and blending are surprisingly good, considering luxury glassmaker-turned-pseudo-niche-perfumers Lalique hold the license for Bentley fragrances. The "pencil shaving" cedar note familiar from so many other ISO E-heavy scents is on full display here, and this might be the strongest I've ever encountered it - it's a bone dry, almost desiccated rendition of extreme woodiness.

Time will tell, though I’ll probably end up keeping it as a collection piece due to its relationship to Gucci PH. Bentley was the first woman elected to the state senate from southwest Missouri, representing the Springfield area from 1995 to 2003. It's well constructed, smells like expensive niche and goes well with with a modern cut black suit, or a high end casual outfit. I've seen a few fragrantica reviews mention it, but not everyone experiences the note the same way - to me it's not armpitty cumin, and it's not as sharp as something like Declaration. Nearly a year ago, the Community Partnership of the Ozarks spearheaded the effort to raise funds for the musical playground, in partnership with the park board.It just feels a bit scorched, like the first acrid puff of smoke when you light a stick of incense and blow out the flame. Fortunately, the pepper, ginger, and frankincense round this out with a subtle sweetness that emerges in the drydown and adds depth to what feels like it will be a linear ride. The base note includes the most seductive essences in the world of fragrances: beguiling Oud, surrounded by sensuous ambergris and elegant harmonies of moss.
