The new fragrance: A journey to Panama with Magnetic Amber           

With Magnetic Amber, Grasse-born Master Perfumer Karine Dubreuil-Sereni takes us on an olfactory voyage to a land of fascinating contrasts inspired by the treasure of exotic Panama: white amber.

“Whenever I work on a project for Bentley, the words that immediately come to my mind are: luxury, refinement, elegance, and use of the finest raw materials”, Karine Dubreuil-Sereni explains.

Her creation opens with the dazzling light of the sunny bergamot from Italy, laced with aromatic rosemary from Morocco and a lemony green, flash of cardamom – “a cold spice that also has hot facets”, the perfumer points out. Mysterious, resinous olibanum adds its citrus-like, warm, softly woody tones to the fresh accords.

As the fragrance unfolds, it reveals the seductive warmth of its heart with two natural jewels native to South America: sensual, smoky vanilla (sourced from Madagascar) and tonka bean with its almond and tobacco facets.

These delectable gourmand scents meld into the smooth white amber that gives its name to the scent. “The note comes from Ambroxan, a raw material yielded by clary sage”, Karine Dubreuil-Sereni explains. Salty, smooth, conjuring driftwood, sun-warmed skin and amber, it is almost an addictive perfume in itself. The key to the perfume’s unique magnetism.

In Magnetic Amber, this captivating note is highlighted by the warm resinous scent of labdanum, bolstered by elegant cedar from Virginia to create a rich, potent drydown extending far into the sweet-breezed Panamanian night.

A majestic flacon reflecting the luxury codes of the marque     

Drawing on the expertise of Bentley Motors’ design studio, the flacon and packaging of Bentley BEYOND The Collection uphold the same exacting standards and attention to detail as the marque’s motorcars.

With Magnetic Amber, the Collection introduces a new, eco-friendly, natural material, wood. Echoing the natural materials used in the fragrance, wood is featured in the form of a ring on the bottle’s cap, and on the plate of the beige coffret.

The majestic faceted flacon is inspired by the signature cut-crystal glass headlights of the Continental GT. The stability of the heavy 400-gram bottle is ensured by a thick glass base. The legendary “Winged B” logo is engraved on the silver metal shoulders of the flacon.

The alluring amber colour of the scent reflects the new fragrance's soul: Intriguing. Delicious. Addictive. An imperial olfactory journey through South America's best kept secrets: its smoky rums, sweet woods and delectable petals.
