- Bois du Portugal is in my opinion the of the best Creed colognes. It is timeless, aromatic and gentlemanly. Whilst I was visiting the beautiful country of Portugal I decided to review this beautiful scent. I hope I also manage to convey the beauty of the Algarve in Portugal.

My favorite Creed. Celebrated my 60th birthday in Las Vegas in September and we ate at Sinatra's at the Encore (highly recommended) and wore this beautiful scent.
Superb combination of scent and place!
I’m so glad this isn’t a very popular Creed fragrance or fragrance in general because for me this is the best from Creed, second being Spice & Wood. In fact this, alongside Enigma by Roja are my two favourites. This being the bitter woody scent and enigma being the sweeter yet equally amazing scent
I was expecting David Attenborough to narrate this , it looked like something he'd do.
fantastic cinematography 😍
The scent itself i enjoy, just not enough to want to own it. I can however see jut why so many love and appreciate it.
Stellar as always 🙏
Thanks Robert, I really wanted Portugal itself to be a prominent part of this video.
Fantastic video and perfect setting for it! Bois du Portugal is my favorite Creed so far, and favorite fragrance in general. Congratulations for your sister.
Bois du Portugal by Creed has to be the finest men's fragrance of all time, certainly for a classy and mature gentleman. Great video!
Extra classy juice!👌🏻
Hear, Hear! I fell in love with the juice from the first freaking spray! 😍
It's up there.. jubilation is also one of them. Masterpieces
Great cinematography sir!! Gorgeous video and great review as always. This Creed has never been on my radar but now I’m interested.
Love Bois du Portugal and the cinematography here. Very well done review, thank you.
Frank Sinatra wore Bois du Portugal, say Creed? Let's think about this for a moment. Sinatra was born in 1915; Bois du Portugal was released in 1987, so Sinatra would have been 72 years old when he first had an opportunity to try it, decades after he was at the peak of his creativity and popularity.
The review is spot on, Chris! I love BdP. Beautiful scenario!
The amount of production that went into what would normally be a simple review is astounding. We’ll done, sir!
Thanks Hugh!
Just smelled this for the first time today. I love it. The lavender reminds me of the lavender in Beau De Jour a bit, but without the oakmoss i the background. Super classy fragrance, but not for the kids imo.
Late to the party, my favorite from my creed lineup. Such a beautiful fragrance. This is the grownup, dressed to the nines, subtle, charismatic gentlemen. Sometimes I spray this over molecule 01 and it works wonders. BdP reminds me of a refined TF noir EDT taking into account the way the citrus accords are utilized. Always enjoy the content, wonderful review. Cheers mate🍻
Great review mate! It's spot on! Lovely fragrance.
Have a decant from Creed and I love this fragrance. Has to be one of my favorites that I have smelled from the house.
Such great cinematography Chris! I haven't smelt this one yet, but now I definitely have to.
Thank you Monika🙏
Hi Chris , excellent cinematography awesome review, I cant agree with you more , BDP was my first Creed I purchased , so unique so gentlemen dressed up or down its still a super star.
Love the location and cinematography! Great review!
Thanks very much Jeff👍🏻
Thanks for the great review, made me buy it😉👍🏼
That intro was unexpected. But WOW, what a phenomenal scenery and filming!!!
I like to suprise now and then!
Incredible review ! Thank you
I am from Algarve, and of course I have Bois du Portugal in my collection.
Great review 👍👍
Fantastic review and much needed! I am not sure why other reviewers describe the projection of this as very very close to the skin... they say no problem with longevity but no projection or very close to the skin if any. I like how you describe it, thanks and stay safe 👌👍
I have a pretty big Parfum collection and this is my favorite. Recently ordered the 500 ml refill because I love it like crazy
My husband not into fragrances for himself at all, BUT I have him now loving Creed ..Royal Mayfair, Royal Oud and Silver Mountain Water now however I had him try Bois du Portugal. Oh my the trail is amazing. We are both loving it. Perfect blend. Smooth. Mayfair still gets the high vote
Bois du Portugal & Royal Oud are the best from the house of Creed. I love them both & wear them often. They are both very long lasting. Great video with wonderful scenery clips.
Yes Royal Oud is also super classy
stunning fragrance. One of my favs from the house of Creed
This was the first fragrance I ever bought for myself a few years ago and I love it. I prefer it to Aventus and have received more compliments with this than Aventus. Good review.
Love Bois Du Portugal!
Have just ordered 2 more bottles of 75ml to add to my 120ml, this fragrance will be with me for life 💥
Yes, pure class👌🏻
Great scenery in the review! Too bad we don’t have Notino in the U.S. anymore. They used to be my go-to site. Some of their sale prices were absolutely ridiculous. Thanks for the review!
Great video Chris. The scenery and shots u captured were beautiful u did a wonderful job. Very thurough quality review as well. This is def 1 of the lesser talked about Creeds so I appreciated learning about it. Thanks a lot.
- Colin
I'm glad it was useful Colin. It was a pleasure putting it all together.
Thanks for review, i will check this one 😉
I went to a shop today to initially look at Royal Oud and I tried a few others and In the end I actually went for this. It smells incredible and so smooth too. Seems to last from what I'm seeing
Es una reseña 10/10, la que mejor describe a esta fragancia. Excelente locación. Saludos desde México. 🇲🇽🇲🇽
This is the word timeless in a bottle. Simple yet flawless. Addictive af. My love affair from the first sniff and the top of the top in my list. ❤❤
What an spellbinding review! You're a wonderful storyteller :-). More videos like this, please :-)
Thanks Anton, glad you enjoyed it.
Great video. Love it on location and what a great time to use it and rock it! Another excellent review!
Yes everything was perfect about combining this trip with BDP.
It took a few wears to grow on me but now this is one of my favorites.
Great video Chris. Bois De Portugal is an amazing scent! One of my top 5 favorites. Class & elegance.
Sometimes I am so happy I have these vintage fragrances and sometimes I am so happy to see the joy these fragrances continue to bring and sometimes I am just happy. Thank you for this.
Great video Chris
Really liked the cinematography for this one👌
Thank you!
The lengths you go to shoot us a great cinematic review... We appreciate not only your thoughts on these fragrances but your passion for shooting a great review
Great review as always and nice to see you are giving some of the true classics some love. I just received Lalique Pour Homme EDP (Lion edition) which to my nose is very close to BDP!! Insane value, high quality and a great alternative to Creed's BDP 👌
Thanks for watching Aleksander!
What a great video such great editing, love the sent too,and santal
Oh yes, Original Santal is a dream
You are very welcome to my country!!!! Beautiful, really beautiful intro and wonderful way to describe this great fragrance!!! Big👍
Thanks Anabela. Portugal is very beautiful and wearing this scent is the perfect combination.
Love this one!
Great review, Chris. Bois du Portugal is one of my most treasured possessions. Timeless & classic, it's a 10/10 from me, too.
Thank you 😁
Great video. Amazing scenery. Bois du Portugal is my favourite Creed so far. Yes, it smells somewhat gentlemanly and a bit old-fashioned but I don't think in a bad way. It is just a good fragrance with a classic vibe.
Exactly. I classic gents vibe👌🏻
Had this for a few years ,and agreed Chris this is perfect with crisp shirt and suit . Makes me feel quite professional and distinguished. I can see why some feel it's old manish however there's a modern twist which offsets that vibe for me . Great review and cinematography as always AAA+
Cheers Gary
I understand why people consider BdP dated but I agree with you that it's classical and traditional. Not dated. I'm only 30 years old and I absolutely adore this scent. It's one of those fragrances that make my eyes roll back whenever I smell it. The bergamot, lavander and sandalwood are just soooo well blended with the ambergris. I could wear it every day, regardless of if some people find it old smelling. It has unexpectedly become possibly my favorite Creed of all time. Arguably their most slept on scent.
I have tried Lalique PH, which is supposed to be very very similar. I tell you, it is not. It's got the same kind of scent profile and a lot of the same notes but there's no depth. BdP, like most Creeds, smells exceedingly natural and luxurious; Lalique smells cheap, synthetic and one dimensional. Simply can't even compare them.
Great review!
Your video production quality is out of this world Chris! I'm definitely going to be saving up for this one.
Thanks Duncan. Portugal is a beautiful place to film.
Chris, the cinematography on this video is absolutely fabulous! The locations chosen in the first 30 seconds seemed as if you were sbout to pitch us timeshares! 😁
I was sold on the fragrance before you uttered the first word.
I can honestly say that you continuously raise the bar when in comes to fragrance videos.
Question: where did you find ants to work on cue? 😂👍🏽
I appreciate the work you put into the videos to bring your opinion, on fragrances, to the masses. Keep giving us great content & amazing backdrops!
You're very kind thank you. Portugal has a place in my heart and I really wanted to convey that in the video. It was a pleasure to talk about this beautiful scent in such a special and fitting location. I'm so happy you liked it 🙂
I been saying this since I smelled it. It’s one of the best Creed Fragrances
This intro wow!! That was fragrance apprentice level filming
Well I can only dream!
Great review, visuals. B du Portugal in the US is nuts expensive. Have 7 bottles of Dua's fine interpretation, Royal Portugal. I'm 40-something and this scent is my #1 for fall and winter daytime / office. Has grown to be one of my fav scents period. Just tried Alexandria's slightly more modern, very slightly sweeter version and recommend for price. If I was in UK or Europe, I'd collect a lifetime supply of the real thing. Classic, classy, timeless. Well described.
Ah yes I heard the Alexandria is very good
One of the best Creed ever, few notes but very well blended, is sooo classy👍
Then it is an unexpected catalyst for attention and compliments!😉
Totally agree!
After watching this I fancied trying it. Out shopping with daughter I found myself in a store with a Creed counter, so I wandered over to see if they had a sampler for Bois du Portugal - they did! Great. Just as I was about to spray it onto the tester slip, three female sales assistants swooped onto me and began peppering me with 'what size would you like?', 'how would you like it wrapped?', 'would you like a gift receipt?', 'can we interest you in the box set?' and about a dozen other bothersome questions which totally transformed what I'd hoped would be a nice experience ( possibly resulting in purchase) into a shambles I could not get away from quickly enough. I just put it back and walked away. Maybe some other time.
What a professional production!
Much appreciated 👍🏻
Fantastic review
When i tested this i was reminded straight away of Armani's 1984 fragrance "eau pour homme"..especially how Chris describes this fragrance in the dry down..this is definitely my favourite Creed fragrance
Outstanding video and review Chris
BDP is by far my favourite from the house and one of the most worn in my collection 😀👍
I LOVE IT!
Amazing video from an amazing guy with an amazing fragrance. This has to be one of the best reviews i have ever seen, if not, the best ever!!!
You're too kind mate! 🙏
I always imagine Sean Connerys 007 wearing this. That being said i do enjoy it one of my fragrances for life.
Yes I agree! I also think he'd have some Kouros in his arsenal 😂
Just got a 5ml sample of this and wow. The ambergris is present from the very beginning which might be off putting to some but the naturalness of it is wonderful. The way the ambergris is used reminds me of Initio’s Magnetic Blend 1, an ambergris bomb. I agree it’s a classic style fragrance but it was 1987 but definitely not outdated.
👏👏 on the broll. I'm a fan, and like to use it myself. I hope ti see more of this. J ROYL is big on it too. Glad to see the community heading into thay direction. Its creative, artistic, and bumps up the quality overall.
Agreed. B-roll rocks!!
Cary Grant is said to have been using GIT, hes also been said to have been using floris no89, i much more belive that cary used floris and Frank Sinatra using this, that i belive in! I just tried it today and bois du Portugal is very Sinatra to me, its elegant but also very happy go lucky in a fresh way! I am so in love with it
I love the b-roll. Well done sir.
Need to test this one.
Cheers
Thank you Sir👍🏻
Hello, I like classic perfume style. Does it fit me well? How about a good season to use?
I kinda bought this one just to complete the collection I really was not feeling it originally but it has really grown on me recently I wore it a bunch this fall and honestly I love it now it’s funny how that works but I think it made it from bottom 5 creeds to top 5 creeds in the collection a truly massive jump it’s is amazing give it a chance if you are not feeling it initially it really grows on you it’s great creed for the cooler to cold weather it smells like a old library very dusty and atavistic
Yes sometimes that can happen. It really is a winning blend.
10/10 review⭐️
I read that this was actually made for Frank not just his signature scent, I asked in my local Creed boutique and they said the same and told me it was actually kept secret.
Great review, Chris! I would absolutely love to try this one. Only tried Aventus (of course) and Silver Mountain Water. This sounds amazing! Hope you had a great time at ScentXplore!
I did, it was so much fun!
I'm 33. I love horror movies, TF Tuscan Leather, and Creed BdP. My wife likes things I like situation dependent. This is a good EdP in my opinion. It smells like a quality fragrance that would be emulating an awesome after shave/shaving cream imho.
I am portuguese and i dont have this one in my collection, i feel ashamed now lol. I love Algarve too, i go there in summer vacations , Portimão racetrack, etc. Say hi when you return to Lisbon, my city. Cheers and keep the good work!!
Thank you Nelson. Hopefully I will return to beautiful Lisboa one day.
this is indeed a fantastic regal fragrance! Love it! To me not at all an old man scent and u can smell the quality and depth! At the end each person relates a scent or smell differently.
Ritankar Sasmal regal is a great word for it
Yes exactly!
Thought the video took too long to get into it....but like a decent fragrance ...it needs the setup. Cracking video. Thanks. Subbed.
Bought the fragrance after the review too. Love it.
Its a "lovely" fragrance, but IMHO its just that. Lovely. Ive got a sample today (im 42 going 43) and found it to smell of "old". had my son smell it for a second opinion (he's 20) and he said its something great grandad would wear (RIP). He couldn't even imagine it on grandad. I do like smelling it and the best way I could put it is I would love it as an air freshener in a classic old car.
My favorite from Creed, wonderful review.
Thanks a lot!
Excellent review Chris! I looove BdP! 👏🏼👏🏼
Cheers!
Great review! I feel your pain -
I absolutely love this fragrance and get phenomenal performance. But my wife HATES it. She just mutters things about moth balls and old man...
I just have to wear it when she’s not around. I love it though. One of my favorites. Very classy and a long beautiful dry down.
These wives can ruin our hobby!🤣
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm gonna try it have a blessed day
Thanks Michael 👍🏻
You welcome keep up the good work
Could someone compare it to New York Intense by Nicolai? Nicolai NYI seems to be citric and powdery, less lavendish..
Chris,where did you go in the algarve looks amazing
Dios mio, the introduction is just godlike 👍
Love Bois du Portugal and yes have had the exact same experience when out either walking or mtb'ing through local woods. A worthy acquisition to a gentleman's collection 👍
Glad you can relate to my experiences too Steve!
That green nature smell is the vetiver..
Definitely No1 in my Creed wishlist
Great review! I am 33 and I rock this all day. I love it and I don't care if people think it's dated.
Yes, wear what you love!
Damn! Raising the bar -- yet again!
Thank you Sir 🙏
Hi Chris, please review Alexandria clone of Bois Du Portugal called HIGHLANDS
This together with Viking (my favorites) is prolly the most maquline ones from Creed.
This is prolly the only creed that performs well (viking and the other creeds I tested performs pretty poor, projection is ver weak)
This scent also for some reason reminds me of my passed father, no idea why. Not a bad thing tho, its cozy.
Btw Royal Oud reminds me of a luxury toilet in Dubai (ive been there and it reminds of that LOL)
I love Viking too👍🏻
Great video and congratulations to your sister. BDP is my favourite Creed scent. Nothing beats how this makes you feel when you are wearing a suit getting ready to go out somewhere posh, but can also work in the office (but go easy on the trigger!)
Pocket Scents Lisboa is inspired by BDP and they have nailed it, I can't really tell any difference on a side by side comparison, BDP is possibly slightly smoother, but no one would ever know.
Thanks for sharing that Ian👍🏻
Great video
Chris, I am BLOWN AWAY by this video. What in the world is your day job? Cinematographer?! Now, this fragrance is beautiful and very well made, but as someone much older than you it brings to mind something my father wore in the 60s and 70s. It just doesn't feel modern to me but I certainly appreciate your view on this. And congrats to your sister!👰🏻
It's a beautiful fragrance, first time I smelled it I was blown away, it was a lovely Green soapy fragrance and I was instantly taken to a barber shop who wet shaves, so beautiful...atb Lee
Yes it's a very elegant and masculine scent. Cheers Lee👍🏻
Great review, Chris! Love BDP but it is a bit dated. More specifically the opening (reminds me of Paco Rabane’s Pour Homme openning a little). The dry down is to die for! I wish Creed did a cologne update of this instead of Aventus :(
Yes that could be interesting!
Yes yes my favorite as well. Very good review. And I do kindly thank you for it. It for me is a 111 out of a 10. Lol extreme I know but yea good stuff.
Great taste 👍🏻
Great review of this atemporal gem! It's funny tho how reviewers think this was Sinatra's signature scent and no one really checks when Sinatra lived. All the best to your sister! Cheers!
I checked. Died 1998 so could have been his signature for the last ten years of his life.
@@FRAGMENTAL Highly unlikely for a guy who had fame and fortune his whole life to choose/change his signature scent in his 70's. That's how urban legends are born 😉.
I love it
I've never tried this one, but it sounds kinda nice! I need to pick up a decant! Great vid Chris!
Give it a test drive Dan!
