Infinite Intense
by Bentley
Infinite Intense by Bentley delivers a mature, refined masculine scent with a strong initial presence of black pepper, violet, and lavender, creating a fresh yet spicy opening that quickly evolves into a smooth, woody-sweet base. The blend of vetiver, cedar, patchouli, and ambergris gives the fragrance a distinctly earthy, slightly resinous character with a near-invisible dry-down that lingers softly on the skin. It's remarkably balanced and well-composed, resembling a polished suit—sophisticated and restrained. The longevity is consistent and moderate, lasting up to eight hours with good sillage, making it suitable for both day and evening wear, including formal settings. Though some find it overly powdery, others compare it favorably to Terre d’Hermes with a much gentler, smoother evolution that avoids the citrus-heavy character of the original, offering a more atmospheric, slightly sweet, woody finish with notable depth and presence without being aggressive.
Pros
- +Well-balanced composition with clear, distinct layers and an elegant progression from opening to dry-down.
- +Longevity and sillage are above average for the price, making it practical for work and formal occasions.
- +Feels mature, subtle, and refined—ideal for those seeking a quiet confidence without over-the-top projection.
Cons
- −Lacks the sharp citrus-driven profile of Terre d’Hermes, which may disappoint fans expecting a clone.
- −Projection and sillage may be perceived as moderate or weak by some, particularly in warm weather.
- −Some users find the dry-down slightly sweet or powdery to the point of being overpowering, potentially causing headaches for sensitive noses.
