Elegant, subtle, and refined,
For an introspective frame of mind.
Close to the skin, it lingers on,
I'll re-apply before it's gone.
I wish that it would longer stay,

Bentley for Men Intense opens with the faintest brief spray of dulled citrus mingling with a sheen of black pepper, before quickly adding laurel and cinnamon spiced smooth boozy rum-laced incense...
Skimming through the reviews of Habit Rouge it's apparent that this scent comes/came in many incarnations, wastly different. I've tried a current EdT. .. There's nothing masculine about this...
I dislike the original AdG, always have because of the bitterness and strange orange synthetic note. The Essenza after one wear won me over, smooth opening, soft woodiness once it settles down....

I have also become a fan of Guess Men. I bought a bottle in the early 90's but barely used it. It is still nearly full and will last my lifetime so I have not tried to find a replacement for it.
Good luck with your search. Please let me know what works for you and what doesn't.
BTW, I actually have some Guess Men here. I bought a slew of samples at a very low price. I emptied a bunch of them into a spray bottle. Then I put some into a dabber bottle. And I still have a bunch of samples left over.
So even though I might have enough here, I'm still on the look out.
