this is like a well rehearsed opera. every note is in tune with each other.the 3 players are the amber/vanilla/incense mix. very intoxicating but also cloying after a few hours. I only have a 3ml...
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...
As an Italian, I am partial to Pino Silvestre. But they both smell good. In Italy, Pino silvestre costs next to nothing (something like 10 euros or so).
Another vote for Pino Silvestre. I will smell great in the clean Alpine air. Aspen is also good, but I prefer Pino. If you have money to burn, check out Creed's Epicea - in my opinion, the best pine scent.
Pino Silvestre is not Pino Silvestre Vidal any longer and it's only a plastic ghost of its former self, I grew up with that solid chunck of powerhouse!
I would choose Pino -- lovely herbs suggesting pine. Very dry.
Probably more niche than you intended, but a Swiss fragrance similar to Pino (but more $$) is La Base for Him by Magic Helvetia.
