On my skin there is no "earth notes" like I can smell on Bvlgari Terrae Essence for example, but VIOLET and FRESH FLOWER notes are predominant. I want this on my skin and not on clothes so I get the better dry-down, but if I spray on the back of my neck (.

I have Armaf Tag Him (supposedlya Bleu de Chanel clone), and this is very similar to that but a little sweeter, and a little better performance. Edit- the dry down is where it’s at, I had sprayed some on while wearing a flannel and forgot about it until the next day when i grabbed it and it smelled so damn nice.

To me it mostly smells like walking through a meadow on a bright, breezy early summer's morning, before the dew has fully lifted, perhaps when there's been rain and the earth is moist, just far enough downwind of that candy factory in town for it to be impossible to tell whether that obvious violet smell is an artificial one from there. I also was hoping for something ‘black’ in the vein that Absolute is with smokeyness, oud, and frankincense front and center. This is one of the few fragrances from my "Violet" period that has survived all of the changes in my fragrance preferences through the years. It seems almost prophetic that the commercial pictures of the bottle are more of a dark blue colouring rather than black, but perhaps the marketing department did this deliberately after they smelled it, as this is a fragrance as blue as they come. To me it now smells like a slightly spicier Acqua di Gio Profumo, which is also sweet and smoky, but lacks the peppery green notes Bentley Black has.All the components create a feeling on each part of the product inspired by what Bentley apply on cars.

This has a very fresh citrusy opening that sets you up for a really nice vilot middle section that last quite a while. water, parfum, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, ethylhexyl salicylate, butylmethoxydibenzoylmethane, bht, hexyl cinnamal, butylphenyl methylpropional, limonene, linalool, benzyl benzoate, eugenol, geraniol, citral, methyl 2- octynoate. In the dry-down this stands out as its own thing - the tonka comes up a little bit more on my skin, combined with a hint of what I assume is an accord emulating insense (perhaps this is where the slight spiciness comes from), and while still easy to wear and pull off, it now has an addicting, alluring quality that I found a great appreciation for and definitely wasn't there on the opening! They are all very pure in their approach, inexpensive and high quality so they work amazingly for this purpose. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag.

This sense of sleek masculinity translates to Bentley’s latest gentleman’s fragrance, the Black Edition.

It’s proving a popular specification, 40 per cent of Bentleys currently produced are outfitted with the Blackline pack. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. IMHO it was very clever of Bentley to market a floral fragrance with the "Black" moniker and theme, especially compared to the on the nose Tom Ford Rose Prick in its pink colored bottle which will likely turn off men who may already adverse to "girly" floral fragrances. The bottom stage becomes quite warm, resinous, sweet, a little creamy, and keeping some of the previous dryness together with a new peacefull woody and earthy accord. The base notes of the fragrance, which last the longest on the skin, comprise moss, cedarwood, tonka bean, incense and tobacco.It seemed familiar, and took me a little while to realize where I had smelled it before - Givenchy Gentlemen Only. note that is in Kenneth Cole Signature and Aqua Di Gio variants (some people think it smells like pickles) got stronger.
