Sustainably sourced and meticulously processed.
The bottle design of this perfume is inspired by an avant-garde finish created by Bentley to personalize the interior of its cars: The Stone Veneer, a fusion of centuries-old craftsmanship and advanced technologies. The result is variations in color, pattern and texture that are almost impossible to imitate.
Stone veneer epitomizes Bentley’s constant quest to use only the finest materials in its creations, as Bentley’s team of expert veneer hunters go to great lengths to source the best in the world. Other veneers include eucalyptus, olive ash, walnut and liquid amber from as far away as Canada and China.
The slate and quartzite come from hand-selected quarries in Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh (India), a country with an ancient and rich stone masonry culture. The stone sections are separated from larger pieces and cured with fiberglass and a custom-made resin. Finally, they are shaped and finished by hand by Bentley’s world-renowned team of Mulliner coachbuilders at the company’s headquarters in Crewe, England.
A bottle like no other.
For Bentley Momentum Unbreakable, in a striking expression of the fragrance’s name, the front of the bottle is covered with an authentic stone slab made of mica schist, a crystalline rock containing reflective slivers of mica. Each one of them is 100% natural, which makes each bottle a unique piece. The stone is cut into very thin sheets that are applied to a fabric that is then glued to the bottle. Thanks to the fine cutting and application process, it is possible to mold the stone to the shape of the bottle. To finish, the slate gray plate is engraved with the iconic Bentley “B in Wings” logo and the name of the fragrance.
The back of the bottle is coated with an interpretation of the brand’s signature knurling. Introduced in 1919 on the second car built by W.O. Bentley, this trademark motif was designed to be pleasing to the touch as well as to the eye. Embossed on a matte black plate that covers the bottle from base to neck, it adds a sensual tactility and eye-catching graphic style to the bottle, topped with a matte black cap.
Decorated with the iconic Bentley logo and fragrance name stamped in silver, the slate gray case is embossed with the same tactile texture as the bottle’s stone plaque.
Made from high quality ingredients that combine cutting-edge technology with ancestral traditions of perfumery.
Momentum Unbreakable meets the same uncompromising standards as Bentley cars. A warmer, woodier interpretation of the invigorating Momentum line, the fragrance expresses all the exciting facets of a contemporary urban adventurer.
As the fragrance opens, violet leaf adds an aquatic touch to the sparkling mandarin Sfuma. Green, floral and aromatic, the best mandarin oil in the world is almost a perfume in itself. A clean flash of lavender, combined with minty-fresh pink geranium, is softened by a precious, powdery lily.
Spicy with facets of licorice, dried fruits and amber, evergreen warms the heart of Momentum Unbreakable, introducing the notes that make up the fragrance’s sexy masculine signature: a rich, warm woody palette.
Truly innovative in its structure.
The fragrance was composed by Master Perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin, born in Grasse, and the talented Ane Ayo, from Bilbao (Spain).
Momentum Unbreakable presents Dreamwood™. Obtained through carbon-neutral biotechnology, the 100% natural ingredient is used in place of Mysore sandalwood, now a protected species in India, as a sustainable alternative with the same olfactory richness.
“Dreamwood™ adds an unexpected presence to the fragrance composition, bringing a richly luminous aura with the same codes found in Mysore sandalwood essential oil,” says Fabrice Pellegrin, who also heads the natural ingredients sector at Swiss fragrance house Firmenich, where the ingredient was developed. Dark and velvety patchouli, one of the Master Perfumer’s favorite materials, reinforces the woody facets of the creamy and sensual sandalwood note. Its smoky character is underscored by Haitian vetiver and papyrus, enveloping the fragrance’s lasting trail in an aura of mystery.
