Bois du Portugal
Bois du Portugal by Creed is a masculine-leaning eau de parfum from 1987 in the luxury price tier. It opens with bergamot and lavender, moves into cedarwood and vetiver and dries down to sandalwood, ambergris and white musk. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
Heart
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
Dry-down
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Ambergris Salty, animal, sun-warmed skin. Marine and musky at once.
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
