Bentley Beyond – The Collection
A New World of Scent Inspired by W.O. Bentley’s Passion For Travel
Bentley Fragrances first ever exclusive fragrances for men and women launches with three evocative sensuous journeys, Bentley Beyond - The Collection matches peerless ingredients with exotic destinations.
Voyages have been part of Bentley Motors’ identity from the outset. At the age of 14, founder Walter Owen Bentley, known as “W.O.”, cycled an astounding 130 miles from London to Norfolk in a single day. He would later describe the joy of independent travel as “one of man’s fundamental longings”.
A luxurious wardrobe of scented accessories for trailblazers, the new collection will satisfy their appreciation of meticulous craftsmanship, the finest quality materials and uncompromising originality. For these exacting customers, fragrance must be an individual statement, an adventure that goes beyond trends and frontiers to the heart of emotion.
Each of the three fragrances showcase a most precious ingredient that conjures an exotic destination, translating a voyage into scent. Composed by three rising young master perfumers, the first trio of the collection takes us to countries each associated with a fragrance note and a colour theme inspired by Bentley Motors’ exclusive palette.

Bentley offers an unrivalled range of interior options, and in collaboration with the Bentley Styling Team, inspiration is drawn from this palette to give each scent its distinctive chromatic code, both in the handstitched leather cap that evokes the interior of a Bentley car, and the tint of the scent, showcased by the transparent glass of the bottle; blue and teal for Exotic Musk; amber and plum for Majestic Cashmere; green and mustard yellow for Wild Vetiver.
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 Bentley emblem is engraved on the silver metal shoulders of the flacon.
The elegant packaging is covered in a soft-touch leather grain paper. The label, in the same colour as the cap of each scent, bears the names of the collection, of the fragrance, and of the destination that inspires it.
