BENTLEY Fragrances has quite the knack for producing the perfect colognes for the modern, sophisticated man. Having been on my radar since the release of Infinite Rush (a firm favourite in my constant fragrance rotation), Bentley Fragrances have now released Momentum Intense – created by celebrated perfumer Nathalie Lorson – which is a cleaner, sharper and more vibrant version of its parent scent, Momentum. Inspired by the movers and shakers of the world, Momentum Intense is a woody and aromatic scent that revives the spirit of the urban trendsetter.
Bentley Fragrances Momentum Intense
With top notes of bergamot, elemi essence and lavender essence, Momentum Intense lingers with a zesty peppery freshness, whilst the lavender brings a hint of blink-and-you’ll-miss-it sweetness to the mix. At its heart, notes include tonka beans, geranium essence and grey amber, giving a dusky yet vibrant twist on the Momentum scent. Its base notes of sandalwood, ambery wood, and musk reveal a drydown of a deep and full burnished woody texture.
The assertive bottle design is strikingly strong and sleek, an object of minimalist modern desire in itself, especially with its emerald-diamond-like faceted cut glass edges.
