Have you ever wondered why perfume reveals different layers over time? This is because the ‘top’, ‘middle’ and ‘bottom’ notes of a perfume are carefully designed, with each layer of fragrance originating from the evaporation rate and molecular size of different ingredients. These different layers allow the perfume to gradually release different aromas over the hours after spraying; prolonging the enjoy for yourself and others.

Top notes are the first impression of perfume when sprayed and are usually smaller molecules of fast-evaporating fragrances such as citrus and mint. These ingredients diffuse quickly, bringing a fresh, stimulating sensation that grabs your attention.

Middle notes, on the other hand, are the heart of the fragrance, usually appearing after the top notes have dissipated and contain floral, fruity or spicy notes. This level of fragrance is mild and long-lasting, setting the tone for the theme of the perfume.

The base is the finish of the perfume and is usually composed of subdued woods, musks and other ingredients that are made of larger molecules, deep notes and slow-evaporating spices that linger on the skin for a long time, adding depth to the perfume.

For men’s fragrances, this layering is particularly important because it is not just a single scent, but also expresses the multiple qualities of masculinity through a three-part fragrance structure: confidence and competence at first sight, depth and glamour in the middle, and ultimately stability and longevity.

After understanding the layering structure of perfume, you may still have questions: Why does the same perfume smell different on different people? The answer lies in the differences in each person’s skin type, body temperature, and even constitution. 

Factors such as skin pH, oil production, and temperature all affect how quickly a perfume evaporates and how it blends with the skin. For someone with oily skin, the perfume may appear thicker and richer, while for someone with dry skin may allow the perfume to emit more lightly. In this way, perfume is like a tailored piece of fashion; it will show up differently depending on the traits of the wearer.

When you and your friend wear the same perfume, you will have your own unique scent depending on your body temperature and skin. This quality of ‘a thousand flavours’ makes perfume a true expression of individuality. Each drop of perfume is a complementary display of your temperament and personality.

Building on this deep understanding of the structure of perfumery, Bentley has created ‘Become’, a fragrance designed for men. Compared to the classic one – Bentley ‘Beyond’, ‘Become’ is known for its invigorating freshness, with a younger energy.

The fragrance captures the sophistication and power of the Bentley man, transforming the layers of scent into a journey of masculine self-expression.

The top notes of ‘Become’ are composed of sweet Orange and refreshing Bergamot, bringing a sense of freshness to the face, as if driving along a vast mountain road in the early morning and being greeted by an energising breeze. However, this freshness is complemented by a hint of black pepper, which adds a touch of excitement and strength to the fragrance.

Over time, the perfume gradually moves into the middle notes, its heart. This phase of the fragrance is heavier and deeper, with a greenish freshness of Juniper berries, like serenity and strength projected through the light of the forest. The aroma of Juniper berries is perfectly intertwined with the warmth of myrrh, making you feel as if you were in a quiet pine forest, experiencing the peace and magnificence of nature.

As the middle notes fade away, ‘Become’ enters its heart – a deep, intoxicating finish. The base of Cedar and Sandalwood gives the fragrance a woody calmness, while the layers of vetiver and patchouli add a touch of mystery and longevity. The finish is not only a warm one, but also an undercurrent of masculine calm and introspection, as well as a sense of gentle strength.

In creating this fragrance, Bentley has paid particular attention to the environment in addition to the depth and longevity of the scent.

This time they collaborated with Symrise, a globally recognised supplier of natural fragrances, composition harnesses cutting-edge innovation and artisanal sourced plants and flowers from Symrise’s Grasse-based Maison Lautier.

As a result, the fragrance boasts excellent sustainability ratings with 70.81 per cent renewable carbon and 46.97 per cent recycled materials.

Through this sustainable and innovative process, Bentley ‘Become’ has created a high-quality fragrance for men that demonstrates care and responsibility for the planet.

The Bentley ‘Become’ bottle exudes masculinity and sophistication. Its sleek design, with bold lines and a strong presence, reflects the essence of a modern man who appreciates luxury and style.

The contemporary shape is reminiscent of the luxury and dynamism of a Bentley car. It stands as a symbol of strength and refinement, making it a statement piece on any man’s grooming shelf.

The moment you spray ‘Become’, you feel like you are in the leather seat of a Bentley, holding the steering wheel and driving on the open road.

The freshness of the aroma comes to you, and over time it becomes deeper and heavier, just like every memorable moment in life. So, are you ready to embark on your own scented journey with Bentley ‘Become’?
