I remember this being much better than it is now although I have been out of the fragrance “world” for quite some time. It is however not alone in this regard so in comparison with the peer group of current offerings it’s still a great fragrance. It’s a unique scent and while certainly not modern it is not so easily or obviously dated either, woody masculine but not cliche – conservative but not derivative
criolan330 – :
Wonderfully woodsy spicy scent. Longevity is over 8 hours and sillage heavy, so apply strategically; chest and one good spray.
This is a classic very masculine scent which is very complex and memorable. This is a statement fragrance, for a bold and independent man.
This could never be confused with any other fragrance. You can’t really say that about the vast expense of aquatic men’s colognes,refreshing though they may be.
I was able to acquire my authentic sealed box bottle (millissime) at an online shop for about 60 percent of retail, probably because it is not as popular as the current crop of Creed scents marketed to the younger crowd (Aventus,etc.)

“Fly me to the moon” – yes I have to admit that the folklore of this being Frank Sinatra’s signature scent makes me love it more lol..
But either way, this is a very special and unique Creed fragrance that is not for everyone, but the ones who it is for, will love it!
Is it a modern panty dropper? No. Well possibly if your target audience is a more mature classy woman.
To me, this is a masculine, exotic, old school, bold, spicy scent for a refined gentleman. Its for a confident, classy man who understands the finer things. Not a club scent, not a safe aquatic crowd pleaser.
May come off a bit old school to the average modern nose. But for what it is, its a true masterpiece and one of my all time favorites. This or YSL Rive Gauche feel like something Don Draper would have worn (despite that I believe it came out in the late 80s, not 60s). Or think George Clooney in Oceans 11, 12, 13 (as those are also a tip of the cap to Frank)
Anyhow, I think anyone should at least smell it, and see if they want to add something to their collection that goes in this direction.

The image which draws this robust fragrance is a neat and perfect, crossing full of class and classicism… at the wheel of the convertible a man wears a Navy blue sport jacket, takes positions sunglasses… his hands wear gloves leather dark coffee with your hand left turns on a cigarette… straight cross an intact forest North of Vermont… then the fifth speed brings with it a bestial ROAR that springs from a 1969 Shelby Cobra engine color green bottle…
In the distance the car is lost… the forest remains.
It is said that this perfume must wear at least once in life… Judging that is not for me.
So far Mr Frank Sinatra has us has moved forward on the road and his “signature fragance” has done so
evgenij1428 – :
From the fairly early days of Creed when Olivier engaged some decent noses to compose his perfumes. He got Bourdon to do the heavy lifting Green Irish Tweed, but who knows who put this one together; nevertheless it’s a beauty, well it was in its earliest incarnation. I’ve still got a bottle from the early 90s that smells gorgeous – it probably still had the real sandalwood in it . I’ll assume the current juice is probably a weakened version with synthetics that now sells at silly money prices. The catalogue of discontinued scents (the original Tabarome, the 1948 Vetiver, Acier Aluminium) shows how good it was in the past and how far it fallen into shallow mediocrity.
fsy031Diobtetty – :
Bracing bergamot at the top, leading into a pronounced lavender followed by a base dominated by smoky vetiver and ambergris.
This definitely smells very old school and aristocratic. Like a woodsier version of Floris 89. Maybe one of the oddest scents I have ever experienced. Some whiffs I love for their woodsy citrus and other scents smell like straight up old man. I can’t get myself to like or dislike it…but I am fascinated and keep going back for more sniffs of this. I am bamboozled.
potap454 – :
This scent is a true classic. It’s a very clean woody perfume that lasts 12 hours on my skin.
Would clearly be a good match for a formal occasion as well as a walk on the beach. It has fewer notes than Aventus, for example, but is on par complexity wise. If you ever been to Lisbon and had a stroll on the parks near the seaside, you will definitely discern the notes in this special fragrance. It also has some barber scent, but the wood dominates the notes, a true 10/10 fragrance.
Sure it’s a mature smell, very clean, sophisticated and for sure not a grandpa one.
Bought the 100ml.
Expensive? Yes, but truly unique and deserves the price.
Clones? No thanks, this one has it all.
Jorewal – :
Had Bois du Portugal been around when Ian Fleming was writing then this would have been the fragrance worn by James Bond – a classy and timeless masculine scent.
Whilst there is no pepper in this mix I still smell that ‘peppery heat’ that gives enough body for this to be a great colder weather fragrance – day or night – that could be worn to the office or a black tie event.
Decent sillage – about arms’ length – and solid longevity to last throughout an entire evening and night.
Olya Serdyuk – :
Bois du Portugal is one of 2 offerings from Creed that have my deepest respect. Prime example of proper masculine scent that is beyond time. Manly man, not a young man, but 35 and up. Best suited for a dressy occasion,formal, but will be good with shirt and pants as well, assumed its not anything floral, pink or that sort of thing. Scent and bright colors just don’t mix. Its a strict scent suited for a dominating Alpha.
Scent is barbershop mix of Sandalwood, Lavender, pine/spruce evergreen. Rounded up with a touch of Ambergris. Very smooth, well blended, never feels synthetic. 1 spray will be perfect, 2 will make people always watch their tone of voice. Doors and elevators will open on their own before you 😛
Silage is great, longevity is 8 hrs at least on me. Would i recommend it? YES! Would you see others wear it like 1 million by paco? no!
Price wise – buy in Europe or have someone who is traveling there to buy it for you. Boycott all the NA retailers, as price is at least double from what it should be. Instead of promoting cheapness, promote greatness!

Wood, spices, herbs. Sandalwood and lavender are definitely there. I get a little citrus and oakmoss. BdP smells clean and spicy fresh. There’s a barbershop, aftershave vibe and I’m reminded a lot of Dior’s Eau Sauvage with the citrus turned down and the wood and spices turned up. Dries down to a powdery wood with a hint of citrus. The ingredients feel high quality.
This is an old style scent that smells more mature. Performance is about average. Lasted a nice seven hours. I could still pick it up faintly after a shower. Masculine but a lady could wear it. Better in cooler weather. Fine for work as it’s not really sexy. I like this one but it’s too close to Eau Sauvage for me to be interested in a bottle or decant. I prefer ES to BdP. Creed scents are overpriced and this is no exception. Still, a very nice scent.
Sweevehem – :
If you imagine how a classy and yet sexy “daddy” would smell like, it would be it. One of the best classic 80s gentleman’s fragrances on the market. Woody, aromatic, chic. In the vein of Santos Cartier, Patou pour homme, Tzar Vc&a. And like them it has this too prominent mossy musk base, which surprisingly isn, t mentioned in the notes. And which exactly gives this retro feel and makes it a bit too persistent. Very good though.
Alexhelp – :
Simply divine. Robert Henri would approve.
Comparisons to Chanel Pour Monsieur EDP aren’t unfounded, but the two have very different personalities. Bois du Portugal lacks the lemon accord of PM EDP, but it’s richer , heavier, and vastly more opulent. Pour Monsieur is a bit lighter, not quite as dense, and much more versatile.
ser90162654 – :
Classic gentlemen fragrance. Timeless.
To describe the scent, it is 60% chanel pour monsieur + 20% Lalique pour homme + 20% Creed Millesime Base.
Good performance and longevity. But for the price, I would go with chanel.
Note: I dont think this is discontinued, It is currently available in the official Creed Boutique in Dubai mall as well as in the creed website.
mamolik – :
Perhaps the brightest and most elegant green fragrance that Ever was.
This fragrances screams wealth and status, and can even smell like money to you.
I find it only suitable for men 35 plus. I am 25 and although I appreciate it, my dad is the one who loves it.
Recommended for those that love GIT and 80s green fragrances.
This fragrances is Drakkar, if he chose to make a 180 and leave his small town, get sobered up, got shaved, and became a wealthy businessman.

Fragrance -Bois du Portugal Creed
Bottle from – 2015
Reminds me a bit of the good old days- 80s & 90s.
Bois du Portugal opens on my skin with a burst of a bit bitter and spicy citruses,sandalwood and lavender.
During mid development,lavender becomes stronger with a nice touch of cedar and the citrus notes recede into the background.
This all leads into a woody and musky base with dominant sandalwood with a wisper of vetiver and ambergris.
This is a classic scent,but I don’t think it’s outdated. However,if you prefer modern fragrances,this is not for you.
Longevity – 9/10(9+hours)
Silage/Projection – 8,5/10(moderate to heavy projection and silage for the first 2-3 hours)
Weather – best in autumn,winter and early spring.
Age – 35+
Compliments – 7/10
Scent – 8,5/10
Main notes according to me -sandalwood,lavender,cedar,bergamot,musk,vetiver,ambergris.
The drydown is woody and musky and I get some – sandalwood,cedar,vetiver,ambergris and musk.
Emotions -good old days- 80s & 90s,dark vibe elegance, class,sophisticated,powerhouse.
Occasion -Perfect for special occasions,nights out and formal and semi-formal events.
Don’t blind buy this one.Try before you buy.

If Lions could wear fragrances they’ll wear BDP. This is Macho in a spray bottle. This is a Man in a three piece suit, with a bow-tie, hairy, deep voice and bold, think Sir Sean Connery (James Bond). Now to smell:
Sandalwood of insanely high quality, aged and doused with fresh Bitter bergamot, sprinkled with some cedar, vetiver, then spray some lavender lightly and finally creed’s signature Ambergris…Now keep them to age for a few years. This somehow becomes fine just like wine; smooth thing fellas. This could be an acquired taste but if you’re a cat inside and you desire to roar or look like a Lion, two or three sprays and you’ll be marking your territory with this fabulously fantastic Man’s Man scent. Keep this secret to yourself!
Mehhn330Diobtetty – :
Creed Bois Du Portugal – I really like this alot. At first I was on the fence, but then it started to grow on me. It is a refined scent. It is a strong woody and green scent, but in a regal way. When I wear this I feel like I should be wearing a Tweed Jacket, sitting in a study or an office. It takes me somewhere else in my mind. It’s not something I’d wear everyday for every occasion, but it is one that I find myself frequently reaching for when heading into the office. I only have a sample of this right now, but when that sample is used up, then I’ll definitely be buying a bottle.
yakazuna – :
the opening has a scent reminiscent of hot sauce that quickly fades, not like the base of hot sauce but it has a spiciness, but that smell is gone after a minute, and what you get is a kind of spicy soapiness…then to come on here and find the notes are sandalwood and lavender…those are definitely the 2 prominent players make this a sort of a classic barbershop like scent. To me this scent is mature 40’s and up. Could be worn any season, day or night, very versatile. Good clean scent.
Andrtxa87 – :
Despite all the comments below, this has not been vaulted or discontinued, I’ve been told by the guys at Creed London that they are waiting for an ingredient in order to produce more and they are definitely getting more made up soon.
Nata213 – :
95% similar to Chanel Pour Monsieur in its EdP concentration. The latter has better performance overall. The Creed smells a tiny bit more refined. I recommend trying both and figuring out for yourself which one makes sense buying, considering that the Chanel is more or less half the price of the Creed.
roopAcoutsson – :
WOw this might be my favorite creed that I’ve ever smelled. So far I’ve come back twice to change what my review says on here, , I normally wouldn’t bother but this has torn my whole reality apart again, with its subtle perfection of such a classic accord, attempted by so many, such a huge number of times. I’ve always since I can remember been after the perfect “barber shop” frag , to me that means like woody creamy herbal a tiny bit powdery or Smokey, something like a rich expensive shaving soap. And this is the best I think I would say. Out of my catalogue of fragrances that I have tried, it’s the most refined, deep, round and (slightly) dark. Of the top of my head I’m thinking coming in 2nd place would be Rive Gauche and Prada Infusion Vetiver. My other all time favorites are bvlgari au the blanc, and bvlgari homme, soir + also the extreme. Just to give reference of things I like. The scent is like if you scooped off all the bright high frequencies of Rive Gauche. And it aged perfectly in a dark cabinet. And somehow absorbed all the scent of some dark colored, clean + old worn out wood.

sergeyeon – :
Such a fantastic fragrance. You can’t go wrong with BdP! It’s gentleman-esque, regal, and most definitely will leave a lasting impression. This is the one you pull out when your dressed up. It’s a very bold, and old time fragrance that lasts! I love the lavender sandalwood combo. As well with the cedar and ambergris in the dry down. As I’ve mentioned in previous reviews, it comes off as a creamy, woody, lavender scent. If some reviewers have said (whether true or not) that BdP will be vaulted, Creed better be starting to create another fragrance. They could not just vault a scent without realistically looking at replacing the empty spot in their lineup. While there is a variety of other scents, this one is a classic that no doubt will be loved for years to come. I fortunately bought a 120ml flacon (about the time they were phasing them out) so I will be set for a few years!
Cteronem – :
The is the signature scent that Frank Sinatra used to enjoy wearing. It has now been discontinued or vaulted as Creed will say. Get your hands on a bottle if you can while it is still on the shelves at some retailers.
This is a mans old school fragrance that was launched back in 1987 and the ingredients that stand out are, bergemont, cedawood, vetiver & ambergris along with some others that are masterfully blended. This smells great and is a favorite amongst many fragrance collectors. I am glad that I have it in my collection.
It is very versatile & good to use for all occasions.
ramiko – :
Bois du Portugal by Creed is an exquisite woody spicy scent with a sweet powdery accord to smoothen it out around the edges. The sweetness comes off very natural from the sandalwood and the citrus adds a touch of tartness. This fragrance has an undeniable older gentleman vibe, but is timeless enough that all generations can appreciate it. This is a scent you reach for when you want to wear something that smells old, but in a classic way which is why it is best suited for formal or dressed up occasions, preferably in the colder months. Bois du Portugal leans masculine, but there are many women who appreciate it and wear it for themselves which should not come as a surprise considering the quality and richness of the juice. Projection is average but longevity is quite impressive, giving this a solid rating when it comes to performance.
If you are looking for compliments then this might not be your first choice. Generally, people do love it but it does not have the mass appeal that many of Creeds other offerings have. Wear this one for yourself and enjoy the hell out of it. Every man deserves to try Bois du Portugal at least once in their life. It is bold, classic, but remains unique. All things considered, Bois du Portugal by Creed earns an easy 10/10 rating.
ulia – :
The timeless and adored legend Bois du Portugal is being vaulted. I repeat: BOIS DU PORTUGAL IS BEING VAULTED. This is official. Hurry up and grab up bottles from the discounters before they become rare and the price leaps up. Even if you don’t end up liking the fragrance, you will definitely be able to flip it for a good profit in a year.
natadima – :
Smells like a classic aftershave more than a high end cologne. in my opinion, not something you would want to last for a long duration. Not pleasant for a work environment, indoors or outdoors. This scent seems to appeal to a micro nitch community; for which the effort and the price point does not justify.
swetik1966 – :
Just received a 250 ml flacon from 1987 original release.
If new creeds smelt like this or even modern BdP smelt remotely like this. No one would be complaining about the price.
I don’t know if it aged into this or if it has been reformulated, but they are very different.
I obviously have a modern version as well to compare it to.
It kind of is upsetting knowing the difference. Creed what heppened?
chapaew85 – :
The most exquisite sandalwood fragrance ever made.
It is so delicately blended, that all you think your smelling is the most fantastic sandalwood, but there is more going on here that makes this sexy. I don’t like using that adjective, but I will try to describe the nuances that makes one feel very attractive wearing this;
Strong ambergis, something anamalic about it, and delicate spices here, I’m thinking cinommon, pepper, cloves. It feels like they’re here, or it’s just the spicy sweetness of the finest Mysore sandalwood. There is a subtle lavender in the mix, so well blended.
I just revel in the beauty and warmth of this timeless masterpiece. This is in the running for the best woody fragrance ever composed, top 3 for sure.

Pleasant and conservative men’s fragrance…
I do like this one. I find it the type of fragrance which doesn’t smell completely “modern” in it’s approach. It takes very traditional masculine ingredients here and comes up with a smart, slightly formal and traditional fragrance.
What I get from here immediately is the sandalwood and lavender combination. It’s a very good combination and one used very often in male-marketed compositions (most famously in Guerlain – Héritage). In fact, Bois du Portugal is very similar to Héritage (the eau de toilette version).
Having said that, although this is a very well made fragrance, no doubt… I can’t help feeling that if you are on a budget you can find this effect for less.. In fact, it reminds me not just of the Guerlain fragrance, but also of a great fragrance by the house of Caron called The Third Man (which I would recommend as this fragrance but with a more daring, floral edge). That fragrance has more flair than this one. I would say that, again, as with all Creed fragrances, if you have the money, go for it. Yet if you want your money to go a little further by mixing it up a bit, then go for the other French houses. As always, a very safe and traditional choice for men from Creed.
Mexa – :
I purchased this one today in a 120ml bottle. Most likely one of my last Creed purchases for a very long time (I have acquired 4 Creeds in 6 months. 3 of them are 120ml) but this scent is one I cannot wait to have! I’ve smelt this one, its beautiful. Very old fashion, and very masculine. I’m excited to have Bois Du Portugal in my collection. I think every man should too! It was either this or Royal Mayfair, I have samples of that one, but felt BDP deserved to have a permanent spot in my arsenal. What’s not to love? Lavender, woods, and a tad bit of citrus.
I know for sure this one will perform well. Especially after being slightly disappointed with Erolfa. I now have a Creed for every season! I am set!

When you break it down, this is a very simple fragrance when it comes to note breakdowns.
A bergamot that is the right balance of biterness and sweetness opens this up and almost works like your first coffee of the day in awakening your senses.
This citrus transitio s and blends perfectly with the always soothing lavender in the heart. What the lavender seems to do is carry the bergamot with it until we get to the sublime drydown of one of Creed’s best. Cedar and creamy sandalwood dominate the base, all the while keeping remnants of the opening, and i think the ambergris is the thing binding it all together.
There are other fragrances in this general theme but here the ingredients smell like quality, and it’s all blended beautifully while still picking out individual notes.
3 sprays maximum for this because i get 1w hours longevity very easily and it projects a few good feet for a couple of hours at least.
Not the most versatile, but i enjoyed it every single time.

I do love really well crafted old-school fragrances that are gentlemanly, stylish, possess a little of that “I don’t start fights but I’ll finish this one!” edge, yet don’t smell dated nor overly mature. Such is the case with Bois du Portugal…a classic, yet timeless, fragrance that reminds me of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin (the Matt Helm version) each and every time I wear it with my hair slicked back and sportin’ a blazer. It’s just really classy woody-aromatic scent that exudes good-guy, tough-guy, kiss the girls and administer brass-knuckle sandwiches to any scumbags who mess with me.
Performance is quite good on my skin in that it lasts a solid 8-9 hours and projects gentlemanly (above average for the first 2-3 hours before staying with an arms distance, which is the perfect for this scent. While I love GIT, Aventus and some of Creed’s more popular fragrances, my two under-appreciated gems from this house are Bois Du Portugal and Royal Water. Love ’em both.
Bois du Portugal is my first choice when I am wanting to spiffy-up and become an old-school gentleman. I have a 250ml flacon of BdP and I love rocking this bad boy in the Fall, Early Winter and Early Spring. I feel gentlemanly whenever I wear this fragrance…yet, as mentioned, it also makes me feel like doling-out knuckle-sandwiches, wood-shampoos, and a size 11 Bruno Magli to the backside should anyone disrespect me or my entourage.
Real women love it; real men respect it; thugs fear it.
катя467 – :
I sampled this one today in Harry Rosen. Bois Du Portugal is a very fine masculine fragrance. Initial whiffs upon smelling the beginning does scream “old man” but people need to look past that. While most think this is more suited towards older men, truly any man can wear this. You just have to be comfortable wearing it.
It is a very old school smell. Lots of cedar, lavender, I get some spice too. While not overly complex in notes, that is what makes this one another one of Creeds classics like GIT. When I had the opportunity to spray this on myself, I felt like this fragrance took me back in time. Now I know ol’ blue eyes wore this one late in his life but to me, BdP took me back to his era. As said by many, a very clean, barbershop smell that will grow on you. It felt very 1930s-40s. Very classic, and luxurious.
Any man can wear this. I would say more suited for fall. Wear this with a cardigan and some dress pants. Or even a crisp shirt, jeans and a leather jacket. And ultimately, your favorite suit. Point is, age does not define the way we should smell. It’s all about how we want to smell.

Why moderate sillage ? I wear it and for half an hour everybody in the car is like “Open the windows, i am dying”
My perfume of choice for every cold winter night. Definedly a room filler and compliment gatherer. It will either have fanatic lovers or sworn haters.

jenyach – :
I love mature, vintage fragrances.. I own a number of classics and have no issues wearing them, even though they may not suit my demographic (early 30’s male).
However I have to admit me purchasing them is a bit secondary to more modern, easy on the nose, scents.
So to purchase this Creed for £220 is not going to happen for me. It’s a very ‘in your face’ blast of soapy Lavender. If it was priced like other fragrances of this genre and era I would give it a go.. but it takes something very special for me to fork out this sort of money.
bitOptith – :
The opening of Creed’s Bois du Portugal hits you like an olfactory ton of bricks. It is a rich strong lavender, sandalwood and bergamot blast. This scent sets a very masculine tone early. BdP does not allow for many herbal nuances or real flourishes of any other notes, instead BdP is a thick lavender, sandalwood and cedar scent. The only real relief from this strong linear beast is the vetiver and ambergris, which add a bit of a sweet, earthy and salty element to this scent. Now as for an olfactory reference… I get sophisticated older mediterranean gentleman. This is for the 35 and up club and this has to be worn for those gentlemanly or family occasions. I say wear this under a nice tailored suit to a first communion, or a baptism. You’ll stand out as that cool uncle or that classy dad, or at least everyone will say he smells responsible and all grown up. If that doesn’t apply to you, then wear this on those tense occasions at work, where you’ve got to be the anchor, the rock, or the man with the plan!
simonitjia – :
The hidden feelings and quasi-memories that some fragrances allude to from behind locked doors are unleashed fully with Creed.
BDP is the skeleton key for the impossible memory of your other self.
It might be you as a child, a slight ribbon of the scent from a passing stranger in another life. It could be you feeling the thrill of new love or the satisfaction of nailing that new promotion. It’s that quiet moment when you feel aware that there is so much more to you than even you imagined.
There is a richness of sensual experience here that is rarely experienced with modern fragrances.
Each moment with this fragrance is as unique as the wearer themselves.
I find myself returning to Creed fragrances, constantly.
For nature, for myself and for that drawing back of the curtain that we all crave so much, yet rarely have the opportunity to relish.
Creed most certainly provides a stunning example of ‘je ne sais quoi’ with this extraordinary fragrance.
Need, want and get are very different things. Fortunately, Creed and need are in the same room together.
Stitcherr – :
While this does smell nice. I’m not going to lie, my very first inital thoughts upon smelling this, was that Tom Ford created something very identical if not exact from his Private Blend Collection. I can’t put my name on which scent because I don’t have the bottle(s) but I feel both houses created the same exact scent. Has a floral, licorice vibe to it.
1500029777 – :
This is a great fragrance. Definitely for a sophisticated and experienced mature man. It’s crisp, elegant, and classy. The woody notes are there and has hints of spice. I’m 28, and It just reminds me of my dad when I sampled it. Great gift for an older gentleman. Good projection and longevity.
This juice is very much in the same league as Havana by Aramis. So if you’re looking for something similar but at a lower price point I would check out Havana.
10/10 here.
PapaKarlo666 – :
From the fuzzy green label on the front of the bottle to the anticipation of that sweet/sour perfect smell I have every time I go to put it on, this is my go to scent. It’s a perfume of contrasts
Rugged yet gentlemanly
Sweet yet sour and salty
Sharp yet creamy
It transports me yet keeps me grounded
I’ve seen many posts that say it’s for the “older” man…or it’s a more mature scent?…I’m not even sure what that means. Smells are smells. I suppose it’s all in perception, really. I wouldn’t say that Ben Gay is an athletic smell, but I do think of sports when I smell it as I’ve used it many times after work outs and pick up games. So I guess my point is that good smells are ageless and when you find one that speaks to you that you should listen.
Scent 10/10…it has that indefinable perfection that, to me, is required in a signature scent.
Projection 7/10…it floats around you at a range of several feet and trails after you like a little, playful puppy.
Fortitude 9/10…8 to 10 hours on me consistently
Full bottle worthy…the paramount perfume in a great house. I will never be without this.

RO, Aventus, GIT and BdP – the four best from the Millésime line

this is a good quality juice but i think is good for the gentelman over 50

FOX – :
Great juice – woody, spicy, hint of booze. But I’ll never buy a full bottle at Creed prices.
Feniessence – :
I agree with many reviews stating this is a mature masculine scent. For me maybe it’s too mature and a bit of old age scent, that’s my opinion. Although it was introduced couple of years after GIT, the latter is more versatile and has been on high demand since, but Its not the same for this one.
It’s excellent in terms of longevity and projection but the scent to me is for much older generation, and I think this is due to the lavender note and how it’s used here.

All those who like this fragrance please check out Derby club house from Armaf…. same fragrance at 1/6th the price.
vovanisaev – :
Based purely on scent, whilst very nice, this isn’t one of my favourites. It’s not even my favourite from the House of Creed.
However, Bois du Portugal has done something that so far no other fragrance has managed: it’s made me feel something.
Those of you that know what Hygge is, will need no more explanation. For those that don’t; image wearing a knitted jumper, whilst cuddled up with your partner drinking Cocoa in a log cabin in front of a roaring fire. That sums up Hygge to me, and it is this that Bois du Portugal makes me feel whenever I wear it.
And for that reason, it’s pride of place on my shelf. Undoubtedly one of my favourites.
Hernmeamymn – :
Creed’s Bois du Portugal is a classic masculine done to perfection. No wonder they say Sinatra wore this. It has the citrus lavender and Cedar combination of what is referred to as a barbershop fragrance. The performance is great on me lasting 12+ hours and projecting fairly well, which is somewhat rare for a Creed. Not necessarily a bunch of compliments with this one, but it will receive some because it does smell so good. It is manly. Similar to Dior’s Eau Sauvage, Parfums de Nicolai New York, and fragrances of that like.

I blindly bought it from ebay and alas,regretful, it’s really awful Creed as I only get sandalwood and no other note , I swear of that. I threw the vial with its box. Sorry Creed. I have tried smw , milloesiem imperial, original Santal and GIT all of which are great but this sorry it is headache inducer and vey old style.
Scandalnight – :
Bois du Portugal should be the first result if you type “masculine fragrance” into Google. It ticks all the cliches – woody, spicy, boring.<br /
