Inspired-By Comparison
Every clone rated on similarity and performance. Oils and sprays are priced on separate lines, because a millilitre of oil is not a millilitre of spray.
Oil is undiluted, so a millilitre of oil holds several times more fragrance than a millilitre of spray. Each format is ranked on its own.
Each line shows one size: a 50ml spray (30ml, or the nearest size, when the vendor has no 50ml) and the oil closest to 10ml. Vendors also sell other sizes, including samples and bulk.
Prices are converted to your selected currency at recent exchange rates. Vendors bill in their own currency, so the amount you are charged may differ slightly.

The fragrance these clones are inspired by.
Bentley for Men Intense is a woody, warm-spicy amber fragrance released by Bentley in 2013 and created by Nathalie Lorson for men. It opens on a spicy-citrus mix of black pepper, bay leaf and bergamot that gives way to a boozy heart built around rum, cinnamon, clary sage and African geranium. The base layers incense, leather, benzoin, cedar and patchouli for a smoky, resinous finish. The composition leans heavily on woody and warm-spicy accords with a clear rum character, and it is known for strong projection and long wear. With a 4.11/5 rating from over 10,000 votes, it has many fans and a polarising profile.
Our take
I like Bentley for Men Intense for cold nights: the rum note and warm spices sit well on me and the leather-wood base gives real presence. The opening can be sharp and oddly sweet, which put me off at first, but the dry down is smooth and long lasting. Community ratings for longevity and sillage match my experience, it lasts and throws, so I reserve it for winter evenings rather than daily wear or warm weather.

The Bottle
Bentley for Men Intense comes in a clear, broad rectangular bottle with rounded shoulders and lower corners. Amber-orange liquid gives the otherwise familiar format some warmth, while the separate silver-coloured cylindrical cap adds a more distinctive note through its textured lower band. The winged Bentley emblem and outlined lettering are prominent, and the front label reads FOR MEN INTENSE. Still, the presentation remains conventional rather than memorable.
Original or Clone
Bentley for Men Intense has earned genuine reference status: five interpretations from four houses have tried to reproduce its woody, warm-spicy, amber character. Nathalie Lorson's authorship gives the original a specific creative anchor that those interpretations do not share. For readers who want the fragrance itself rather than merely its broad accord profile, the original is the clearer purchase. Someone choosing an interpretation is still making a reasonable choice when that general character, rather than the authored release, is enough.
