SmokyWhat does Bentley for Men Absolute smell like?
It opens with frankincense, ginger and pink pepper, which give a warm, sharp spice. In the heart, sandalwood, papyrus and Atlas cedar build a woody body, while ambergris, oud and moss in the base settle it onto an earthy, serious footing.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it shows up mainly for evenings and nights out, while summer is its weakest season. Most read it as masculine and classic. Its profile is close to L'Atelier Parfum Burning for Oud and Tom Ford Oud Wood (Eau de Parfum).
