Bentley

Walter Owen Bentley founded the company bearing his name on 10 July 1919. Its automotive history shaped the brand's visual and material vocabulary long before fragrances appeared. Bentley is now based in Crewe, England, and has been part of Volkswagen Group since 1998.

The fragrance direction emerged much later than the automotive business. In 2024, Bentley reported that its fragrance portfolio had recently celebrated its tenth anniversary. This points to a beginning around 2014, but does not establish the exact date or name of the first launch, so the calendar inference remains approximate.

Bentley Become is presented as a spicy floral fragrance. The brand developed the composition in partnership with Symrise—a company rather than a named individual perfumer. This wording identifies a participant in the development without assigning authorship to a particular person in the absence of separate confirmation.

The Become bottle draws on key principles of Bentley automotive design. The connection is expressed primarily through form and presentation; it does not mean that the fragrance literally reproduces the materials or smell of a car interior. Its olfactory character is established by the composition's own description as spicy and floral.

Bentley's public pages do not name the legal licensee or manufacturer of the fragrance line and do not provide a complete dated catalogue. They securely connect the marque with a fragrance portfolio, its ten-year milestone, and Become, but leave the exact starting date and individual creators unresolved.
