Bentley Infinite Intense EDP

Introduction

Bentley Infinite Intense is the heightened expression of the original Infinite — a fragrance that pushes the house's signature woody-spicy character into richer, bolder territory. Launched in 2015 and crafted by perfumer Nathalie Lorson, Infinite Intense houses an unusually high concentration of aromatic compounds within its heavy cut-crystal inspired flacon, centred with the iconic Flying B emblem. This is a fragrance that refuses to be ignored.

Fragrance Journey

Top Notes: Black Pepper, Geranium, Lavender, Violet

Heart Notes: Elemi Resin, Siam Benzoin, Ambergris, Nutmeg

Base Notes: Haitian Vetiver, Moroccan Cedar, Patchouli, Musk

The opening is a bracing, pepper-forward burst accented by the aromatic warmth of lavender and a soft geranium note. The transition to the heart is where the fragrance reveals its distinguishing character: elemi — a rare Arabian tree gum with a fresh, resinous quality — combines with the balsamic sweetness of Siam benzoin and a touch of ambergris to create an extraordinarily complex and luminous heart accord. The dry-down is deeply grounded, with smoky Haitian vetiver, warm Moroccan cedar, earthy patchouli, and a clean musk weaving together into a signature that is simultaneously bold and sophisticated.

Performance

Infinite Intense lives up to its name. The high aromatic concentration delivers eight to ten hours of consistent performance, with strong projection during the first three to four hours and a full, comfortable sillage through the evening. It wears best in autumn and winter but adapts to air-conditioned environments in warmer climates. Suited to men from their thirties onward who appreciate depth and complexity.

Best Occasions

An evening and special-occasion fragrance by nature — dinners, celebrations, corporate functions, and any environment where making a lasting impression matters. The elemi and benzoin heart ensures a conversation-starting uniqueness without veering into niche territory. Equally compelling as a night-time signature scent.

Climate & Wear Advice

The pepper and lavender opening performs exceptionally on warm warm-climate skin, giving an immediate projection that draws compliments in a room. Apply two to three sprays on pulse points — wrists, inner elbow, and the base of the neck. During the dry season, the resinous heart and cedar base deepen considerably; moderate application to two sprays is advised. In air-conditioned offices, the fragrance maintains its projection without becoming overpowering. During hot climates rainy season, wear this in the evening when temperatures drop slightly — it is a heavier composition best appreciated in lower humidity.
