However, Bentley Black Edition has some increased Floral and Earthy notes that aren't found in your average "Blue" type scent.

If I did blind guess, I would put this fragrance as unisex, or even feminine leaning for opening notes. Things change after fragrance opens when its goes with smell of WOOD-DECAY FUNGUS, but not like freshly cut wood like in Bentley Absolute. Smells cheap, one of worst Bentleys for me but i know some people will like it like my girlfriend for exaple.I wore that for years (and still have a bottle), and I'd say it's an enjoyable scent that leans Oriental. This was a nice surprise test it today and love the opening, the drydown is nice it got an 8/10 from a girl at the office. While we strive to provide accurate and helpful information, we cannot guarantee the complete accuracy or reliability of the AI-generated pros and cons. Designing an object for a strong brand such Bentley need a clear vision and a knowledge of the DNA to make it properly.

Like the Blackline series, this perfume is all about cutting-edge gravitas, lending the wearer a scent that is both purposeful and enigmatic.I suppose I gained that bet because I found BBE to be quite an above average fragrance since the first whiff. The longevity was much better than I remember and the scent profile really is appealing, fresh and springy! It is designed to reflect the lines and curves of a Bentley, with a bellicose elegance that has been in the company’s bloodline since founder WO Bentley’s pre-war racing cars and sporting tourers. And I should have paid more attention to the reviews and especially the “reminds me of” section above, where I’d have seen Versace, Paco Rabane, Drakkar Noir etc.

I'm not as eloquent in describing fragrances as many others on this site but I have piled up quite a collection in the last three years. I don't find the violet any more feminine than lavender but do find it more masculine than rose notes. All chrome and satin finishes – with the exception of the winged-badge and Flying-B mascot’s feathers – goes Beluga black.However, this doesn't last all that long, and the dry-down becomes rather chemical again, very artificial smelling.
