What Does Bentley for Men Silverlake Smell Like?
The opening starts with an uplifting citric freshness. It is mainly lemon with a zesty tinge of sourness. In the background is cool mint, providing masculine greenness and helping balance out the intensity of the lemon.
The overarching emphasis in the opening is fresh spices. An airy and ozonic violet leaf adds to the mid, bringing pepper nuances. The violet leaf supports the freshness of the lemon, while the pepper note supports a more robust spice accord.
Citruses and spices recede in the dry down. Airy violet leaf remains with new additions of amber wood and musk. The rest of the wear is sweet and effervescent with the warmth of amber and musk.

Performance
Silverlake lasts eight hours on the skin with moderate to light projection. The first two hours push out two to three feet for the first two hours. After this period, it recedes to a light ambiance of less than a foot for the rest of the wear. The sillage is the same story. This doesn’t push out any better the more you move. This performance is with five sprays.
This is exclusively spring and summer wear for all occasions. I enjoy this as a formal occasion and date night fragrance as it is exceptionally fresh but still retains the class to stand out in those situations.
The mass appeal and likability are excellent. This is one of the main reasons I enjoy it for special occasions. No matter where I wear Silverlake, it always gets positive attention. Lastly, the uniqueness is average. Deep down, it’s just a citrus and musk fragrance.
Final Words
Silverlake is a dupe of Acqua di Gio Essenza and, thus, similar to the rest of the line.
The final burning question is, is Bentley for Men Silverlake worth it? Yes. It is decently affordable, a great performer, and quality. I talked about this earlier, but I love to use this as my citric special occasion fragrance.
