Description
Bentley is launching two versions of Infinity fragrance for men in Spring 2015.
Infinite Eau de Toilette is a fragrance that provides citrus freshness in the top notes mixed with natural shades of cedar and aromatic lavender. The heart introduces a union of bourbon pepper, violet and geranium resting on elegant shades of patchouli, Haiti vetiver and ambergris. The fragrance is available as 100 ml edt.
The flacons of the Bentley Infinite collection were created of top quality heavy glass resembling carved crystal, whose straight lines subtly become elegant curves. The “flacon shoulders” are covered in metal, and the metal stopper contains the logo of the brand—a letter ‘B’ with wings. The fragrances have been on the market since April 2015.
The nose behind this fragrance is Nathalie Lorson.

This doesn’t smell like Terre de Hermes. There’s no prominent citrus or orange in it. For me, all the Hermes stuff smells dated because of the citrus, which this doesn’t have.
It smells a lot like Hommage a L’Homme Voyageur by Lalique, with the peppery vetiver, but it’s not as refined and doesn’t have the soft ambery fruitiness underlying it which Voyageur has.
For me this is strong and refreshing pepper more than anything, with a very dry vetiver, and lavender keeping it together with some sweetness.
It’s very metallic, clean, refined, and good for work.
I like this one a lot. I don’t think the performance is as bad as people are making out.

This is a sublime perfume. Infinite is a gorgeous lavender and woody fragrance with a decent silage and it lasts a long time on me. The dry down is a really nice violet, lavender and vetiver scent which is very close to Mugler Pure Energy. This is a really excellent perfume and I will replace this when finished. Infinite is in my top 6

I like Bentley Intense and Azure a lot, but I have to agree with reviewer GMK in that this fragrance is a weak and cheap replica of TDH. There’s really no better way to describe it in a nutshell. TDH smells like an orange – a classy, expensive orange. This fragrance smells like someone spilled Fanta or Miranda on my skin. It smells childish. Love the bottle design though.

The juicy citruses come off in the opening notes as a sharp grapefruit to my nose. Then it’s a combination of cedar, and vetiver, pepper which makes for a glorious combination under that citrus. The opening is actually a little reminiscent of a fragrance I acquired a few weeks back, which unfortunately isn’t in the Database, Lange Orient Treasure.
The thing that sets this apart from Terre d’Hermes although it’s very, very similar (especially when dried down) is the hint of florals in the middle of this fragrance. It’s a very slight effect and could be due to the violet but is definitely identifiable as geranium, which is actually very in keeping with the overall tone of the Infinite and keeps things masculine.
Overall my opinion is that Bentley Infinite a very good citrus vetiver fragrance and when you enter that realm it is hard not to smell like Terre d’Hermes. Even the grapefruit, distinctly different in the opening becomes more like a bitter orange, the florals are not pronounced enough to make a significant difference to this fragrance, especially after the first hour or two. I was encouraged by the SA in the shop to buy the EDP which was not available to sample although she assured me it was ‘Stronger and longer lasting’ well if my experience with TdH EDP & EDT is anything to go by I’m pretty sure the opposite would be the case. In summary, There’s not quite enough here to make me want it due to having TdH but that’s not to say everyone will agree. There’s flashes of something there…a new kind of masculine twist on the Hermes formula maybe with some tweaks, amp up the pepper, geranium and violet and perhaps we’d have a really good alternative version of TdH but sadly this is just slightly lacking. Still a good fragrance though and pretty decent performance but nothing outstanding.

Got this and the intense one today,
i find them to be not very different, this one
really does smell like Terre D’Hermes,
at least in the opening it also reminds me
of a less spicy Davidoff ozone, the intense one
is more spicy and a bit heavier but they share
the same dna in the end, i like em both but if
you have the ones mentioned above already, i
really dont see any point in buying this one.

I got a roll-on sample. first when applied, it started with a Terre d’hermès orange scent, then it slowly evolved to a violet scent …GREAT
last few hours (4 to 6) less than moderate projection
spring, cold summer days and fall are the best time to wear this fragrance.
25 years old to 45 in my opinion
Office, dates, casual wearing and even formal wearing. will not offend anybody
6.5/10 , not bad at all, but not bottle worthy
But still a try, you might love it 🙂

Personaly I like it very much. It’s a lighter & calmer version of Terre D’Hermes. Got myself a pretty good deal getting Bentley Infinite 100ml tester for 25$. Pleasant office frag with good quality/price ratio.
The sillage and projection are poor 2-3 hours

Nothing but a desperate attempt to copy Great Terre D’ Hermes( one of the greatest men’s fragrance ever created), It starts with synthetic and very diluted orange and black pepper , vetiver is also present but its very watered down too, overall a weak and cheap replica of TDH.

I have sampled this and am not a major fan. To me is smells of sweat. The orange is dominant from the opening. I was a fan of the Bentley fragrance but do not think this is so great. It’s not a fragrance I would choose to buy
