I’ve got a few creeds, but this dry down on my skin is just absolute perfection. The harshness in the opening goes away and becomes sweet but not sickly sweet. I can’t even describe it other than just perfection. Amazing projection and silage with longevity. Amazing scent.
Totally agree Luke....perfectly described. This is easily one of the those perfumes for life😎
Great to hear from you @LukeyEds thanks for jumping into the conversation👊🏽
Unfortunately I can't even try it because patchouli doesn't agree with my sensitive,smh....
Bois du Portugal by Creed. Now you're talking my language Marcelo. I enjoy this scent a great deal, but in cooler/cold weather. Like others have said, maybe this one skews older and won't find its way into many nightclubs. Another one from the house of Creed which makes me feel ten feel tall when I'm wearing it. Like you, Bois du Portugal also reminds me of my father. If he could afford this one he would've worn it for sure. Classic fougere "barbershop"/clean cut experience here. Thanks for showcasing this underrated gem.
Yep this is a pure winner. Whether you enjoy this fragrance now or in years to come; it will remain a classic wonderful masculine scent. Interestingly my sons love wearing this one and they're respectively 27 and 23....and it suits them, they wear it well (so a younger man can do it)
Great to hear from you Fred, thanks for jumping into this conversation (always appreciate your support and input my friend)
My wife says Bois Du Portugal smells like an old Man. I don't care cause it reminds me of my dad like you and I will always treasure this frag!
It's funny because your wife is right; it does have that 'yester year man' vibe to it. But it's not a random 'old man', it's actually our fathers, so yeah, like you Tim I love wearing it....to think that our kids will smell this and in future years will think....."hey this smell reminds me of my old man"😂😎. Great to hear from you mate!
As soon as i saw this upload vid , jumped and reached out for my bois du Portugal and now i enjoy every second .thanx for the vid
This is so awesome to hear. I too love watching a review on something that I own and smelling the fragrance alongside the reviewer it heightens the experience on the fragrance.
Great to hear from you my friend, thank you for reaching out
This is my favourite Creed and in my opinion this is how s gentleman should smell like. I have two back up bottles of Creed Bois du Portugal.
I love the dry down of this one. Not as timeless and smooth as Original Vetiver but this has much better performance and smells like a classy old-school gentleman.
When I smell this I think of someone like you.
How you have described this fragrance is amazing, you exactly said what I have felt when I have tried it on my skin. The strange thing is that I Remember something when I was children/teenager, don’t know who wore on that time, but the memory is so set in my mind. Wonderful fragrance. Thank you 😊
Awesome to read your comment Emiliano; appreciate you reaching out. I love how a beautiful smell is able to transport us to a time/place or even connect us back to loved one💫 Thanks again for reaching out
Bois du Portugal is SERIOUSLY great! Most kids label it "dated", the "old man in a barbershop", but for me "dated" is an asset, not a liability. "Dated" is classic. And Bois du Portugal is the SMOOTHEST fragrance I've ever laid my nose on. And one of the most elegant. That old man in the the barbers chair is Frank Sinatra, or Cary Grant, and when he gets out of the barbershop he's on his way for an elegant date at a 5-star restaurant with Sophia Loren.
I wore this wood-forward fougere a few Sundays ago and it lasted all freakin day long. It's my favorite Creed and 3rd favorite fragrance ever. And the less expensive near-clone Lalique Pour Homme lion is great too. Fantastic treatment of this classic masterpiece, thanks!
As I was putting this episode together, I was thinking "I wonder what James is going to say about this one??" Being that I knew you're on the offical "Fougere Taskforce" I was making sure to treat this one with love and care (not hard to do, on the count that it's an awesome fragrance....but still! I knew you'd be on it)
I love how you turned a negative connotation of 'old man' to the coolest cats in Hollywood...who doesn't want to be as suave as Frank or Cary, hanging out with Sophia (forget about it!!)
Thanks for sharing James, appreciate your comments and love your passion for all things Fougere.....I promise more is coming your way with other line ups planned on this theme (speak soon mate)
Perfectly said 👍
Bois du Portugal is indeed for men over forty, if not fifty. I am one of them. Women love the scent.
Yep, there is a maturity to this fragrance that I feel a
only an old man can only pull off😎
Original Vetiver by creed is smoother and more elegant but Bois du Portugal has better performance.
🇮🇹Grande Marcelo! you are my favorite YT fragrance reviewer. Here in Italy almost all reviewer and people are always in FOMO about new overpowering fragrance brands , criticizing Creed everynowandthen... ( you can find discount in italy and find creed at really good prices, not far from Montale eg) . As you and Josh, i think Creed have countless man masterpieces: i own BdP, Royal Oud, GiT , Erolfa, OV and so on... ( actually ghost perfumers like bourdon and rasquinet, which made Royal Oud and Enclave, are a plus)
Another great house is Amouage (Enclave and Memoir Man are those i own, altough more difficult to wear "daily") .
Creed makes fragrances that are never been overpowering, altough i've got many compliments with : GIT, BdP, Aventus; Aventus Cologne ; SMW. also with Amouage Enclave
Greetings from Rome
I’m in love with this fragrance! I’m a woman and I wear it! I love all things woodsy and this blew my mind and only got better as it dried down. Legit can’t get enough!
This is so awesome Sherelle!! So good to hear that this fragrance works on you.
As you mentioned this is a spectacular woodsy aromatic fragrance that clearly works on a man or a woman💫♥️
Thanks for jumping into the conversation, wonderful to hear from you🙌🏼
Love this cologne!! Definitely an older gentleman scent. It’d be hard for young bucks to pull this off.
From all Creed fragrances we have, BDP is number one for Le Gentleman and Royal Princess Oud is number one for Le Damme 😀 👌
If Spice and Wood had half the performance of BDP, then that would be a number one for sure.
Great vid Marcelo and greetings 🙏
Great to hear from you Daniel and I love your recommendation for the perfect companion fragrance for woman "Royal Princess Oud" (such a wonderful perfume)....can you imagine the presence the couple wearing these perfumes would make at any event??!!
Hoping you're well my friend; thanks for reaching out
I've actually just bought this. I went in initially to try royal oud but tried a few out and I kept smelling this and loving it. Just something about it
Hey my friend, great video.. Bought Creed Royal Oud and enjoying. Not many Creed fragrances I like but This sounds like something I would be interested in. Will try soon , thanks.
Hey Jae, great to hear from you buddy. And yes, if you like Royal Oud, then this one is an easy segue across, although a lot stronger on the citrus and aromatic herbs. Thanks for reaching out Jae, good to hear from you buddy
Great video Marcelo, love your Creed reviews! cheers
Great to hear from you Ali and thank you for the support and encouragement my friend👊🏼
My favorite Creed, and one of the most intriguing and frankly one of the finest fragrances I have ever smelled, is Bois du Portugal.
Totally agree with you @DanGame168✨♥️
One of my favs but not one I reach for often. It make me think of a gentleman in a boardroom, a scent with gravitas and if you don't have the character and presence to pull this off it seems like the scent is wearing you and not the reverse. 2 sprays max for me on this, but most fragrances tend to project very well on my skin. Thanks for the review!
I love your description that the ‘scent is wearing you’ if you can’t pull it off. I think this is what Josh (The Aromatic Kid) was feeling. That this was projecting a presence that just wasn’t him and out of sync with his character. Love speaking about perfumes😂
Thanks for reaching out @c@bll3ro…..wonderful to have you jump into this conversation
I have a decant of this. I'll have to try it out again.
Very nice review.
Yep, this one is brilliant; would love to know how you go Johmathan once you've had a chance to test.....great to hear from you mate👊🏼
It's a superb, masculine scent. I'm in law enforcement and yet I have no problem wearing it while on duty.
I could see that this fragrance would be perfect as your silent companion....I feel that it commands an air of authority.
Great to hear from you @HIdvoyeur
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector "silent companion." I like it, sir. Well said. By the way, ladies always compliment me when I wear Bois Du Portugal. Not so much when I wear the "famous" Aventus which I love.
Yep, makes sense to me. This is one of those classic gentleman fragrances that will never go out of style😎
Why would you have a problem wearing a scent depending on your job?
It's a life smell, a daily smell. It has nothing to do with age, life style or season, it's simply a smell. You love it, or you don't. Too much bullshit attached to this serious perfumery...
You obviously know shit about LE customs.@@johnhickman2033
Brilliant review. When I bought a sample of this it reminded me of Eau Sauvage EDP. But side by side they could be totally different lol
Thank you @Gentleman Gaz…. I think the similarity is that they are classic gentlemen‘s scents, but you’re right and saying that side-by-side they are worlds apart
I'm adding Portuguese and royal oud to my collection. I love the house of Creed
Great choice @Mr. Butcher both of these are refined gentlemen scents. Fit for a man that can hold his own
When I first tried BDP I didn’t like it and washed it off within five minutes. I kinda cheated my self. I was going through my samples and tried it again, this time I let it dry down…and fell in love. So much so that I went to a respected dealer on eBay and bought two 120 mil bottles. There’s no performance problems with those. Two sprays and I’m good for 8 hours.
Anyway, I always enjoy your reviews. Keep it up 👍🏻😁👍🏻
I love this experience that you shared Sam. That's the joy of niche perfumery. You can't judge the fragrance on the top notes only; these fragrances have a life and they evolve on our skins if you give them a chance.
Wise choice on the 2 bottles....never run out! Thanks for jumping into the conversation Sam, great to hear from you
Old man in a barbershop??
Damn, I'm in my early 30's and I wear the crap out of BDP. It's seriously amazing! it's Connery in Dr. No, Bogart in the Maltese Falcon, Caine in the Battle of Britain, McQueen in the Thomas Crown Affair (yes i know his SS was Eau Sauvage, another amazing fragrance i wear in summer dont even get me started just also sign me up for the Fougere Taskforce). I dont know if you read comments on old videos but Marcelo your channel is absolute gold my friend and as a fellow Aussie I'm proud of you representing us on the world fragrance front. Don't write all us younger folks off as unappreciative of the classics though, timeless fragraces are just that, timeless!
Speaking of, Aramis review when?? 😂😉
I would never write off anyone when it comes to niche perfumery! If anything I would love us all to enjoy these masterpiece's!! So awesome to hear from you @lulzykekkington and brilliant that you love BDP💫 The funny thing is that I use as a benchmark my nephews (who are in their early 20's) and they struggle to wear this one; hence my comment....BTW I love the comparisons to those iconic characters; and yes, I can see them wearing this fragrance confidently.
Thanks for the support and awesome comments; very much appreciated👊🏽
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector My pleasure! Thank you for taking the time to put out all this amazing content! Easily straight to the top of my list of most trusted fragrance advice. Hopefully there'll be another Perth meet up sometime in the future 😁 I'll be looking forward to it!
@lulzykekkington I do work out towards Perth every year around August so looking forward to returning to your great city and looking forward to meeting in person💫
Love that fragrance ! 1000%
Marcelo great overview, , 4-5 sprays you say? Well, you’re brave! Two sprays gets it done for me, no questions! I’m good for the next 10hrs; huge projection and sillage! Fantastic scent in every way, pure masculinity at its best!
Great to hear from you @Cowboy Crunchies! I'm curious to know if you have one of the older batches to BDP? I've read in a lot of the posts on this thread that the older versions have more punch to them.....curious to know if this is why I'm overspraying?
On all other fragrance's that I own I spray 3 times but I feel that I need a few more on my BDP.
Thanks for reaching out; great to hear from you
@Marcelo, I own a 2018 batch, so you could say it’s recent? I do appreciate you can get batch variation due to the higher content of the naturals and that it’s subject to they quality of the harvest from any particular year. I guess that’s why Creed were proud to state Millésime on some of their batches / bottles, as a statement to attest the highest quality. My bottle doesn’t quote that, but I can tell you that the quality and performance is astounding! I’ve received many compliments and also complaints from my wife when getting home from work that it’s too strong and that’s coming from just 2 sprays 10hrs earlier! It is a fantastic fragrance and one of my favourites!
@@cowboycrunchies I love that you referenced the variations that will naturally occur with a natural product....many people don't understand this; but it's a fact with any natural product. I purchased my bottle in 2020 so maybe my batch the oils weren't as punchy. In truth, they're punchy enough, it's just that I need a few more sprays than you.....great to hear from you mate
Took a shower and sprayed 4 sprayed on a empty stomach and got nauseous. It’s very woody. You can’t wash it off, so I will go out into the summer in Texas and experience the dry down.
I just purchased this fragrance and it smells like something my barber use to spray on my hair back in the 90’s
The hair spray even had a gentlemen with a top hat on it
I do hope my bottle macerate and transform a little, but this is definitely a beast mode fragrance
Perfect Explanation NFC! As I commented on one of your other videos, I wear Bois when I’m feeling very confident, as maybe even a bit arrogant. You have to check all the boxes when wearing this Masterpiece: groomed, dress shoes, slacks, blazer, time piece, men’s jewelry accessories. This is not a sneakers and jeans/sweats fragrance. You don’t wear this for compliments, this is to be worn to let others know that they are in your presence.
I love that BDP for you is the 'statement maker' and not to be taken lightly. Dress up, look the part; spray on the fragrance....Boom Baby⚡️😎
Great to hear from you @td3mrt1911👊🏼
The one fragrance that this reminded me of straight away when i wore it was Armani's first mens fragrance "eau pour homme"...i put it down to the nutmeg and basil that both fragrances have..

Hello Marcelo
Can't agree more
This Creed Bois de Portugal
Is firmly in my Masculine top 10 . Very lucky to have very old bottle. 75ml
Hey Lee, how are you homie😎 One day, I’m going to have to smell the old bottle that you have. I need to compare the old batch to the recent ones. I’ve had a few other subscribers on this thread write in about how the older batches have more kick to them.
Personally I think the stuff that I have now is pretty awesome, so will be curious to place the 2 side by side. Great to hear from you mate👊🏽
Big Marcello!! you promised and you delivered!! a perfect review as usual. i am not a big creed fan but this one is one of my favorite fragrances. it is so classy and mature!!! when i smell it i think of sean conry as jamas bond. can you get more manly mature and classy? i don't think so!!
Boom Baby!! The only thing that this episode didn't have was an opening title saying "Dedicated to my good friend Philip"....this was just for you homie👊🏼
Glad you enjoyed the review. Big fan of this fragrance and wanted to make sure that I communicated this correctly as it can be perceived as an 'older man' perfume. I too agree with you...this is Sean Connery as Bond; suave, sophisticated and masculine😎
Great to hear from you my friend
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector I know and I really appreciate this!!!
first time i tried it ,i couldnt make my mind up it was so dry and spicy i just didnt expect it ,it feels like a warm version of creed viking ...over the next few hours i kept thinking something smells amazing and it was this projecting away the drydown is so nice
I always love it when a perfume surprises me. And the best indicator of this is as I’m moving around and I asked the same question as you did “what smells so good!?….” it’s me!”
Thanks for jumping into the conversation John, great to hear from you
Thanks for the review. Acquired Millesime Imperial 2008 batch and Royal Water Millesime 2010 batch. Honestly, I will only buy the vintage batches from Creed.
Yes, I've had a few subscribers mentioned that the older batches have more punch to them. I'm yet to test and compare. I've only ever tested fragrances from 2017 onwards and have always been impressed so curious to know the difference.
As always great to hear from you Muhammad
All class this one 👏
Absolutely Sean😎 This is a classic fragrance....great to hear from you mate
Love this one
I enjoy BDP. I agree, it smells like a well put together man! A classic!
Great to hear from you Gareth; and yes, classic gentleman's fragrance😎
Great break down. I ordered a 2ml decant of BDP and initially I was thinking "Oh yeah, I can see the grandpa vibe on this" and thought I wouldn't care for it. But as I was working throughout the day I'd be catching whiffs of that dry down and man did I just fall in love with it. I've since had a few more wearings to see if my mind would change but I only liked it more and more, the quality is just so top notch. I probably would not be considered the target age group for this (32 this year) but I honestly don't care, this is definitely a treat for myself. Just ordered a full bottle this evening for about $245 usd, very much looking forward to having this in my collection.
I loved reading your comment and experience with this fragrance…and happy for you that you’ve included this in your collection (it’s one that will never go out of style😎)
Thanks for reaching out, awesome to connect
What site you use?
@@user-pp9bl5gr1n I used Scent Split
@user-pp9bl5gr1n I used Scentsplit for mine. DecantX I hear is pretty good too
@@TheAnimePiperI just ordered this from Jomashop and it’s authentic only thing is it’s the new F-batch
This stuff is really good, but a bit mature for me (32). I feel like it's best suited for an older gentleman say 40+. I have worn it a few times from a sample, and did enjoy it. Love woody fragrances
Yep, BDP does exude an older man vibe. As I mentioned in this episode it definitely is a 'serious' fragrance. But I think a younger man can pull it off on the right occasion. Dressed up and looking sharp, this fragrance would be a wonderful compliment to that moment (so no jeans and t-shirt)
Great to hear from you @The_Void, thanks for jumping into the conversation
I never really clicked with BDP unfortunately. I have no idea why, but after a couple of wears I shifted it on for a vintage Erolfa. I do understand how it would be perfect for a certain kinda guy, but unfortunately I’m not that guy! I do possess other heavy-hitters which do the job better on my skin. It is however, undeniably classy.
As an afterthought, I would personally rather reach for Epic Man if I wanted a similar vibe 😊
Firstly, I have to totally agree with Epic Man as a classic masculine scent....as the name suggests this fragrance is 'Epic'.
And yeah, I get it when a fragrance doesn't connect. I struggle with Silver Mountain Water. I want to love it because everyone talks about it, but so far, it doesn't resonate with me at all.
Great to hear from you Mark, thanks for reaching out
I decided on two Creeds I wanted to have for the rest of my life and I purchased 500ml flacons of each. The first was Royal Mayfair and the other Bois du Portugal. BDP is a beautiful, classy, gentleman’s scent.
That's pure commitment Gabriel, but a clear signal on the love for these 2 perfumes...great choice. Personally these are fragrances that won't go out of style.
Great to hear from you mate👊🏼
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Very true. I simply decided when my collection is gone, smelling like these two would cover enough bases and enough situations that I would be quite satisfied having these be my signature scents into my twilight years.
@@gabrielgallawa8205 Somehow I think guys like us will never quite have our collection that 'run down' that we're only left with 2 bottles to choose from🤔 I'd be surprised
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector too true!
I absolutely love Bois du Portugal. By far my most favorite. It projects far better than Green Irish Tweed -- on me--
I find myself feeling “comforted” when wearing it and yes, I’ve had several compliments and ladies & gents asking me, “ what cologne I’m wearing”
I would love to find another creed that is similar to this, but distinctly different.
Had a hilarious awesome/creepy couple sniffing my neck in the line at Bank of America.. lol.
I actually think that's an awesome compliment that someone is trying to sniff your neck😂; clearly they wanted to make sure that it actually was you!
Other great, but different Creeds to Bois du Portugal would be:
Viking
Aventus Cologne
Silver Mountain Water
All three of these project well and are quite distinct.
If you want to try something different but similar in the fresh, masculine 'Bois du Portugal' style, then I would recommend to you Epic Man by Amouage. Really impressive fragrance, with the difference that this one now projects a lot stronger (no one will need to smell your neck, they'll pick up the fragrance as soon as you walk into the building)
Here's an episode that I did on Epic Man, if you're interested: czcams.com/video/IycQro8iJqo/video.html
Great to hear from you @The Happy Wanderer
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector This is amazing and I appreciate your time responding. Thank you kindly, fine sir. I will indeed check out that Epic Man fragrance that you recommended, along with those Creed Recommendations.
Thank you 🙏
@@thehappywanderer4230 Welcome. Wonderful to connect from across the globe!
Try Royal Oud, Tabarome
The projection and longevity of my bottle of BDP mirrors Marcelo's, and would be curious to know the batch of his bottle, and how long it has been since first spraying and getting some oxygen in there. I bought a new bottle of 2019 batch (19R01) three weeks ago, and it smells great, but is pretty tame when it comes to performance. I tried 2 sprays at first because just about everyone on fragrantica or basenotes indicates that it's pretty beastly, but that has not been my experience yet. Even test strips that I've sprayed don't smell much the next day. Maybe this one gets a lot stronger a few years after spraying some juice out of the bottle, and would be unsurvivable in three years if it wasn't a bit weak upon first spraying.
Great to hear from you @Dustin and interesting that your bottle is performing in a similar fashion. My son has borrowed my bottle (after he watched this episode felt the need to come around and test again😂) so once the bottle is back I'm going to check the batch number on this one and share here.
One thing that I know of other big house's (Amouage, Nasomatto) that because they're using good quality oils, the longer that you let the juice mature in the bottle the deeper the scent becomes....so hoping this is the same for my Creed's
Thanks for reaching out Dustin👊🏼
This Is a gentleman fougère. I actually think that this Is the highest quality fougère around.
The ambergris in It is incredibile. But i dont find It dated, becouse It has ambergris its like a tropical fougère to my nose...
Extremerly versatile by the way !😁
Great to hear from you Raoul! And totally agree with you this is a classic Gentlemans fragrance… Will never date!
Bois Du Portugal is nice, but I prefer Parfums De Nicolai New York Intense.
The same scent profile but is a bit more modern and almost unisex.
I had the chance to test the other day New York Intense and on first spray I thought, “Oh Bois Du Portugal”….so yes, very similar in profile. I haven’t had the chance to test the 2 side by side so don’t know how the perform against each other.
Interesting that you prefer New York over BDP…..thanks for jumping into the conversation, wonderful to hear from you Tyrone
New York Intense by Parfums de Nicolai is like Bois du Portugal with a bit of animalic funk. I have both. Like both. Like Bois du Portugal more.
Interesting it’s one for one on this thread…I’m now really curious to put the 2 of these side by side and test for the day; would love to throw my vote into the ring.
Thanks gents for your comments
im portuguese and moved to germany and when i fouznd this perfume i was ar first very happy thinking it would bring me back to my home country, sadly it doesnt smell at all like portugal
I recently bought Viking, how does it compare? Does it make sense to have both?
Definitely will be adding this to my collection soon.
Yep, good choice. Like always, I would recommend that you test first and see how this plays on your skin.
Great to hear from you @PoweredByHotshot
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector most creed fragrances does well on my skin so this might be a blind buy for me if I don't make it to saks 5th to test it.
@@PoweredByHotshot My friend I place all 'Blind Buyers' in the "Big Cojones" category.....too brave for me. Good luck, but would love to know what you think once you get it
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector I definitely will as soon as I get a bottle of it my friend.
Hello! I love the perfume house Creed and I have several of their fragrances. The description of this is very intriguing to me. But I'm 33 years old, and I don't go in formal suits. I prefer something plain like Polo and shirts. Do you think this fragrance would be inappropriate for such clothes? Greetings from Kazakhstan!
Yep, you can rock this😎 The beauty of this fragrance is that it's a glorious masculine woods fragrance, so 100% it can work in a more casual setting....I would test first, just to make sure.
Awesome to hear from you @SlonRolik 💫

Alan H
Hey Alan, great to hear from you. Great question. I find that the following last well on me:
Aventus
Aventus Cologne
Viking
Bois Du Portugal
Green Irish Tweed
Original Vetiver
The others in the line up are great, but the above sit around for a lot longer.
The only point that I need to make is that unless the fragrance has a heavier note (ie Oud) then it won’t go into ‘Beast Mode’ and last till the next day. The above mentioned fragrances don’t have Oud but they have woods in the base (cedar wood) or ambergris which helps to prolong the fragrance.
Hope that helps mate👊🏽
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Thanks Marcelo appreciate it will try to get one down the road it’s little pricey but maybe I can buy used one 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Also on another note off Topic Marcelo what do you think of Mancera Cedrat Boise EDP is it good and does it truly last??
Many Thanks

Why the name Bois du Portugal ????
This smells like my grandmothers house with the smell of antiques
Hmmm, not sure if this is a good thing or not??🤔
It’s a good thing a personal memory. As I always loved staying at her house when I was a little kid.
Gab es nicht mal Jahre, in denen der einst großartige Duft kaum wahrnehmbar war, weil Creed auf Ambra, das Ausscheidungsprodukt des Pottwals verzichtet hatte, um bei Umweltschützern nicht ins Gerede zu kommen? Ich habe mir vor 20 Jahren einen entsprechenden Thread mal angesehen. Einhellig war die Meinung: Von der früheren Sillage ist heute nichts mehr übrig!
needs to be more expensive
that is something that I've never heard😂 Everyone wants 'cheaper'...not more expensive😎
Would love to know what you mean @nfltrrr qwsa 🤔
You always have a way some how to make me blind buy every fragrance you review.
😂 that's not the intention! Definitely go out and test; but not blind buy😱 (too scary!!) Wonderful to hear from you @Nadder alshaiban, thank you for reaching out and it sounds like you enjoyed this episode🤔
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector I do enjoy every episode, keep it up 👍🏻
I have some vintage decant, and it's too much clove, it's overpowering, is it the same with the new ones? Nice Batman pic :)
Interesting that you've getting a heavy hit of clove...I don't detect this in my bottle at all. For me this is very 'woods' crisp/deep/forest like. For me the 'clove' blast comes from Viking; that opening is over the top clove!
And yes, it's a signed Jim Lee print...I love this one😎
Great to hear from you @DYNABLASTERTUNERS 👊🏽
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Thank you very much for replying, then it's great stuff if there is less clove in the new ones! :D It is really too much of it in the vintage version, it's unbearable, I know what the right amount of clove is, Floris Santal is the best example, it's one of my favorites, beautiful creamy sandalwood with clove and nutmeg, it's similar to Gucci Envy, although I didn't tried that one yet, only downside is it's pretty weak in projection, but it's okay for me, even that has it's advantages ;)
Viking should be okay, because I don't mind openings and I heard it's a great barbershop, will try it also, thanks for the info
Cheers from Serbia
Bruce Banner :)
I haven’t had a chance to try out Floris Santal but I do love the Floris brand… Incredible range of fragrances from these guys♥️
Awesome to hear from you The Hulk 💚😎
I have a F batch of BDP my bottle haven’t macerated yet but right now it’s stronger on the lavender
get to the point… takes you forever
Yes, I do take the long way round😬 I do love building a storyline to the perfume and why I love it.
You know it's funny, early on I was creating a series called "The 2 Minute Breakdown" from these type of episodes because I thought those people who just want the facts, don't have to sit through 10 minutes of storytelling, but these episodes never did that well. In fact if I placed the 'directors cut' v the '2 minute breakdown' the 2min always performed worst.....so in the end, Directors Cut is what I deliver🤷🏽♂️
However if you're interested here is the playlist for the 2 Minute Breakdowns:czcams.com/play/PLl2get-JHWtdw18SJFBX6VqWbUPzqh1Ql.html
