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,
But "Less is More,"...
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....
In my case it's more like having a good first impression then spending more time with them and growing tired of them. Examples would be Lolita Lempicka, 24 Gold, Fuel for Life pH, He Wood, Black Soul...
Used to like L'Eau D'Issey Pour Homme by Issey Miyake. Finished one bottle, bought another one. About half-way, I got tired/sick of it, stopped using it, and sent it to my cousin who wanted to have any type of fragrance. Good riddance.
I think I'm there with Polo Black. A few months ago, it was the only frag I owned. It made me feel sexy...bigger...stronger. Now...it just smells like water Obviously, I'm stretching it there, but my other frags destroy it.
I smelled Platinum Egoiste for the first time about three weeks ago and was blown away. I thought I'd found what I had been looking for. Was all set to buy it the following weekend. Sprayed it again the following weekend and let it dry on my wrist. Total turn around. It seemed suddenly harsh and overpowering. Complete 180 degree change of heart.
I used to love Joop Homme. Sadly now I find it to be a synthetic bomb. Boo Hoo! I still have a soft spot in my heart for the red juice.
Me too! I think I was responsible for their staying in business from 1995-2000. But the smell still evokes some of the best memories in my mind. I would never not have a little bit around. Thinking back on it, I used an embarrassing amount of the pink juice myself! haha good times.
