Momentum
by Bentley
Bentley Momentum presents a clean, modern masculine scent with a distinct ozonic and aquatic opening featuring bergamot, violet leaf, and sea notes. The fragrance evolves into a soft, creamy blend of ambergris, cashmere wood, and tonka bean, giving it a warm yet fresh character. While initially crisp and inviting, the drydown tends toward a slightly salty, amber-woody dominance that can become overbearing when over-sprayed, leading to a transient, skin-deep effect. Its performance is notably weak, with moderate longevity and sillage, making it best suited for casual occasions, office wear, or moderate personal use. Despite this, it maintains versatility across spring, summer, and autumn, appealing to those seeking a low-key, accessible scent with nostalgic charm.
