The blend’s fascinating opening of sun-drenched Italian lemons, warm cloves, and aromatic French apples settles into the opulent notes of cedar wood. A fragrance that combines powerful intensity with alluring refinement. A true statement of class and royalty.

BOIS PRÉCIEUX ET ÉPICES
a Spice and Wood inspiration by DUA.
Boy ohh boy, does this lives up to the hype!
I remember paying $150.00 bucks for a 15 ml decant back in 13′ of the original never reaching out again to it mainly because of the price per ml being simply out of my range. This is a true gem for man, a classy, upscaled and mature woody fragrance.
As soon as you spray it you will get a heavy natural smell of Pepper combined with Clove and a strong note of woods which is composed of Birch and Cedar, as well on the opening you will get a slightly red apple and lemony (bergamot) accord similar to the one you will find in Avnentus(if you remove the pineapple and black currant) or as well close to Anonyme X/Clive X without the Cinnamon on top, which already lead you to think the level of fragrance we are talking about.
After projecting way better than Spice and Wood for the first 1.5-2 hrs with a bigger scent bubble than the original( radius: 1-2feet depending on weather) and a beautiful trail, this magical masterpiece evolves in to a very musky and spicy wood fragrance. The oak moss and the musk add more masculinity in the dry down to an already masculine fragrance as well as that mysteriously musky feel about the Creeds.
This scent is a classic signature scent and with a price of just $60.00(per 30ml) w/o any discount applied you could easily get 75ml for the equivalent of just 0.5 oz of Creed Spice and Wood.
This scent will make you feel like a rich guy and will kick your mood up easily.
Overall I seriously believe its pretty close to the original (93-95%) I feel the original is a little bit more pronounced with the apple and bergamot on top and as well a little bit smoother in the edges (better blended). But for the price this is a no brainer since it projects and lasts better. I would like to thank Mahsam again for giving us the chance of having the full experience of a $10 per ml bottle for just a fraction of the cost.
Score:
Longevity : 9/10 ( it’s not a beast like other DUA’s but still way better than the original) can easily get 10+ hours consistently.
Projection: 9/10 This surprisingly seems to project better if you’re around 68*-85* if its to hot or cold it seems to loose projection power.
Scent:10/10 this Scent is Perfect to my nose! There’s not much to say besides get a bottle now!
Compliments: 8/10 have got a few compliments but since it a bit inoffensive/sage and projects closer to your skin in comparison to other DUA’s it’s hasn’t detonated like Cuir de Milano, Casino Royale or Liquid Mind Control.
Overall:9/10 this is a perfect Spring/Fall Scent and easily could be a signature scent for any Joe, as well any Joe will feel to be worth a million bucks and will have a self esteem and confodence boost

This is a nice fragrance and smells spot on like Spice and Wood from Creed. Save your money and buy this instead.

My first DUA. This stuff is spot on. No hype. I wasn’t a believer in this house and their products, but I can say that this specific fragrance is a perfect rendition of S&W. and better performance.
