He's always there...
About half a year ago, I joined this platform and, to be honest, up to that time I had hardly a clue about scents in general... I was allowed to call about 10-15 bottles my own, but I didn't like terms like top note, 'dry-down', woody-oriental and many more...
Of course you learn a lot with time and expand your scent horizon. After about 3-4 months of trying and testing, I have found that I like classic scents the most and that they are the most appealing to me as a person/type. Those fragrances, about which many users write things like they should be worn by "older men", "over 40 men" or even grandfathers or they are more suitable for these men...
Well, I'm not an older man, I'm not 40, and I'm certainly not a grandpa. But I love the Bois du Portugal, for example
In the course of my development and discovered passion for such classic fragrances, I inevitably came across the house of Creed at some point. Admittedly, I haven't been able to test or smell all of the fragrances from this house yet. I liked the all too popular Aventus, but nothing more. But the Bois du Portugal is now (besides the Royal Mayfair) my second bottle from this brand.
When I got my bottling to this scent from the souk here, I was already very impressed by the smell of the spray head alone. I perceived an eerily masculine, for me personally beguiling, very classic, incredibly noble, wonderfully stylish and high quality fragrance ...
"What a piece! It'll be 100% in your collection, but so what!", I said to myself.
I sprayed my wrists and my fascination was quickly confirmed...
The fragrance opens with bergamot, pleasantly fresh with a spicy touch, but with clearly perceptible lavender. This woody-floral and slightly herbaceous note gives the fragrance its fougère character from the outset. Yes, lavender is one of my favourite notes, along with a few others. This one is said to smell like floral wallpaper or even older English ladies... Well, a lecturer of mine at the university was such an English lady, original and originally from London. I liked her very much, a very nice, friendly and polite lady. And her London dialect, wonderfully beautiful...

But let's get back to the Bois du Portugal. The predominant woody notes, such as cedar and sandalwood, are not long in coming and, in my opinion, dominate the fragrance throughout its evolution. These make the fragrance velvety and warm and at the same time form its spicy-piney core. These are also characteristic for the Fougère Vibe mentioned above.
Vetiver, also one of my favourite notes, gives the fragrance another strong earthy and rooty nuance. And in the base, I also detect a minimal dry-tobacco-like trace, probably due to the amber.
I have been in possession of a bottle for a couple of weeks now and wear it in everyday life as well as in the evening when I go out. Except in the middle of summer (where it would be too woody for me), this fragrance mMn is wearable in every season and on every occasion.
The durability is with good 6h (with 5-6 splashes) for me personally completely sufficient. It is not a Sillage monster, but this fits to the whole character of this fragrance. In the first 1,5-2h it is still perceptible for other people in the nearer surroundings, but then it quickly gets to a so-called "Sillage-Monster". skin-scent', which is very much in my interest. Because this fragrance is a truly classic gentleman of "the old school", who doesn't need to attract attention in any clumsy way or anything...
Conclusion:
For me personally, the Bois du Portugal is a fragrance with an enormous amount of style and personality. Woody and aromatic, it radiates so much self-confidence and charm like few others I know so far...
When your head is spinning,
it brings clarity...
When you're angry,
he gives you peace...
When it rains it offers shelter,
in the sun he protects with shade...
Bois du Portugal...
...someone who's always there for you,
...one who always has time,
...one who always has an open ear...
The "old man associations" of other users that I quoted at the beginning of this article cannot be dismissed here and are understandable somewhere. But you have to be the type for, if you are a little younger, to like or wear fragrances of this kind.
Qualitatively, however, it is - in my opinion - very high quality and worth every cent. And if you search cleverly, you can find it online at a "good price" for Creed But what exactly such a "good price" means, of course everyone has to decide for himself...
In any case, I thank all those who have read so far!
