Diabolically wonderful. It’s a classic fougère style but with much more power. Imagine a nicotine-doped Nicolai New York.
Curious that the engineer companion changes his nickname every certain time, what game is he playing?
I’ve tested this fragrance several times and have to say its quality and refinement are indisputable, though it sounds too classic to me. It’s not negative, but it smells a bit basic in terms of structure; perhaps I need more age to appreciate it better. Still, it’s not mediocre; it’s the opposite. It’s ideal for elegant winter attire due to its warm woody character. Honestly, it’s the most masculine Creed perfume I’ve tried. Longevity and projection are also among the best in the brand.
I’ve tried this fragrance several times and have to say it has unquestionable quality and refinement, though it feels too classic in style. It’s not negative; I just find it very basic in aroma and structure; maybe I should wait until I’m older to appreciate it better. Still, it’s not mediocre; it’s the opposite. Very suitable for elegant winter attire due to its warm, woody character. Honestly, it’s the most masculine Creed fragrance I’ve tried. Longevity and sillage also seem to be among the best from the house.
It’s that typical hyper-masculine woody scent from before, but with brutal quality. I’ve tested it several times at El Corte Inglés, and it’s always the same: at first, it smells a bit soapy due to the lavender, but then it becomes warm and deep, highlighting the cedar and ambergris. It’s a mature perfume with longevity and projection that has nothing to envy from others in the house. I don’t see it for informal situations because it’s quite intense. Rating: 8 for scent, 6 for originality, 8 for longevity, 7 for projection, 6 for versatility. Total: 7.
Bois du Portugal: the fragrance you should wear at least once in your life? By 1987, the great fougères were already established, yet Creed took so long to release such a classic proposal, perhaps to replace Cypres Musk from 1948. Whatever the reason, it was worth the wait. BdP is a masterpiece that blends the best of Chanel Pour Monsieur (oakmoss that’s greener and less metallic), Lacoste Original (powerful citrus with a dark, mature twist in the bergamot), and Hermès Eau de Cologne (sweet, musky woods). Upon application, you feel an intense sweetness that explodes into a potent citrus, like a thick, juicy lemon peel, backed by a green vetiver that gives it a northern spine. Sandalwood and cedar are the pillars of this ode to nature. Its longevity is superb: three distinct phases, starting with a classic barbershop-style citrus, followed by its most beautiful phase at 40 minutes—a robust, herbal blend that lasts at least six hours—and a four-hour descent where the scent never leaves the skin. The image it evokes is a classy man driving a navy convertible, wearing leather gloves and holding a cigarette, crossing an untouched forest in Vermont, followed by the roar of a bottle-green Shelby Cobra. They say you must wear it at least once in your life, and Frank Sinatra already made it his signature.
The perfume you should wear at least once in your life? I’ve already tested the great classics like Chanel Pour Monsieur, Lacoste Original, and Hermès Eau de Cologne back in 1987, so I know what I’m talking about. Creed took a long time to launch Bois du Portugal, perhaps to replace Cypres Musk, but the wait was worth it. It’s a masterpiece that blends the best of those classics: Chanel’s green oakmoss, Lacoste’s potent citrus with a dark twist, and Hermès’ sweet woods. Upon application, you feel an intense sweetness that explodes into a dense citrus, like a thick lemon peel, with a green lavender giving it a boreal backbone. Sandalwood and cedar are the pillars, with a minimal touch of ambergris. The longevity is superb; it lives in three acts: a classic barbershop opening, an incredible phase at 40 minutes where woods and mountain herbs shine for six hours, and a gentle four-hour descent that never leaves your skin. Imagine an elegant man in a navy sport coat and leather gloves driving a bottle-green Shelby Cobra through a Vermont forest. They say you must try it at least once in your life, and Frank Sinatra already made it his signature.
It smells good, but almost identical to Green Blowing; not worth investing so much in Creed when you can get the other for 1/10th the price. Also, after 2 hours, it smells like L’Homme pour Homme.
Aventus shouldn’t be Creed’s flagship: the brand has much better options than this burnt, outdated smell. The best move is to stop wasting time on this charred pineapple mix and focus on another gem like Bois du Portugal. It’s a woody, super-masculine, mature fragrance, a classic in danger of extinction. It left me with very positive feelings, better than expected, thanks to top-quality ingredients. Its bergamot doesn’t smell like tar or rotten fruit like other notorious citrus notes. The lavender is authentic and blends perfectly with cedar, sandalwood, and a fresh, green vetiver—nothing dry or bitter. Ideal for autumn and winter; longevity is decent (8-9 hours on my skin) and the sillage is moderate. In my opinion, it’s Creed’s best men’s fragrance and deserves a try despite its high price (around $300 here).
Aventus shouldn’t be Creed’s flagship; there are better options than that burnt pineapple mess. I’d rather focus on Bois du Portugal, a woody, hyper-masculine, and mature fragrance, an endangered classic that left me with positive sensations. The ingredients are of very high quality: the bergamot doesn’t feel murky or tarred like in other dubious citrus scents. The lavender is authentic and blends perfectly with cedar, sandalwood, and a verdant vetiver at maximum expression, neither dry nor bitter. Autumn and winter days are ideal. Decent longevity (8-9 hours on my skin) and moderate trail. In my opinion, it’s Creed’s best masculine scent, deserving a chance despite the high price (around $300 in my city).
A woody fragrance with lots of lavender, dry, classic, elegant, mature, and very masculine. It’s clearly an 80s aroma, a gentleman’s scent from another era. It stands out because it breaks with current trends and rescues that masculine personality from the past. It might turn off anyone under 35-40 due to that heavy, dry lavender load, but I feel it should never disappear; it reminds us of times when men’s style was different—neither better nor worse, just different. The world hasn’t always been like it is now. Longevity is 8 to 10 hours, with notable projection for the first 3-4 hours, then more discreet but still detectable. Very good in both aspects. Clearly, for autumn and winter.
It’s a woody, lavender-dry, classic, elegant, mature, and very masculine perfume. Clearly a gentleman’s scent from the 80s. It stands out because it’s different from current trends and rescues the masculine personality of that era. Men under 35-40 might be put off by its strong dry lavender charge, but to me, it’s one of those perfumes that shouldn’t disappear, as it reminds us of times when men’s style was different. In short, the world hasn’t always been like it is now. Lasts 8-10 hours; projection is notable for the first 3-4 hours, then fades but remains detectable. Very good longevity and projection. Clearly for autumn-winter.
I have a love-hate relationship with this house: my Achilles’ heel is longevity, and longevity, and longevity, which makes me swap my initial smile for a sincere ‘Really? Is it worth the price?’ I don’t know how much value each person places on their money, and hey, I’m not saying I don’t like the scent—it can drive me crazy. It’s just that this mentioned lack of staying power makes me evaluate other options. I recently tried Spice & Wood, and honestly, it lasts a mere breath; the price feels almost immoral.

It’s a velvet fougère that changes my perception: starts with a citrus burst of well-blended bergamot and lavender, then the sandalwood and Creed’s famous ambergris take over. It becomes woody yet silky, velvety, and rounded, with nothing sharp. Cedar and vetiver are luxurious secondary notes. Absolutely masculine, beautiful, and relaxing, full of savoir-faire. It conveys a mature, formal, and consistent man who moves at his own pace, unhurried. It’s different from my other fougères, ideal for special occasions. Lasts over 8 hours with 3-4 hours of projection. I use it in spring, autumn, or winter, never in summer.
Don’t confuse it with Millésime. Millésime is more modern; the regular version is older, with a true old-school vibe. Both are masterpieces, but I stick with Millésime for versatility and scent.
I have a 5ml decant from two years ago, and 1.5ml is left. Extremely potent in longevity. It’s not for current noses, but I love it. Incredibly, it doesn’t follow the Creed trend in longevity, projection, and aroma. You can smell the strong bergamot and lavender right out of the bottle. Three sprays are perfect, lasting over 8 hours. Seems like a great option; I repeat, it’s not for those chasing the latest trends. A 9/10.
Few things better. Extraordinary. A dead classic, as exciting as they come.
Bois du Portugal is a sophisticated classic that captures masculine elegance. Woody and herbal notes evoke a tranquil, enigmatic forest in Portugal. It opens with fresh bergamot, followed by a heart of lavender and sandalwood, balancing freshness and warmth. A base of cedar and amber provides depth and persistence, creating a distinctive and lasting trail. Ideal for those seeking a classic and refined aroma, perfect for formal occasions and moments of sophistication and serenity.
Polarizing aroma: it enchants some and repels others. That’s what a personality-driven perfume does. It’s not hard to understand; it’s a classic fougere: herbal, clean, and soapy. Lavanda takes the lead from the start, not just the flower, but the whole green plant. The special part, like in all Creeds, is the ambergris that adds class and a touch of luxury. I think more men and women over 40 will accept it. Very masculine, mature, elegant, and soapy. I see more personality in it than in Roja’s Scandal, though in terms of class, this doesn’t fail either. Great performance and projection, semi-formal or formal, for any season, though better in warmth. It’s what Frank Sinatra used, and that says it all.
Others have already written about the scent. Let me clarify that people get confused by the similarities. Bois du Portugal and Lalique Lion are very different in aroma, evolution, and complexity. At most, they sit on the same shelf. I own both and like Lion, but Bois du Portugal is lightyears away. The real similarity is with Chypre Palatin by MDCI Parfums, which few know. Bois du Portugal and Chypre Palatin are twins: for mature men, very formal, with a commanding personality. The longevity is insane; I sprayed it 10 hours ago and it’s still there. All my Creeds last forever; I don’t get the complaints. You don’t need to shower, but one spray isn’t enough.
It’s a textbook fougere: a bit citrusy and fast, then the strong lavender kicks in. The first two minutes are on another level. After that, the mossy, musky, and cedar notes arrive, and that’s where I’m out. It remains a classic fougere, but it reminds me of a coworker who smells old. It has great quality, but minus the opening, it’s not for me. Smells too classic and evokes very old people. Definitely not for me; even though I’m older myself, this isn’t for people over 40. It’s about taste, not age. You can tell it’s been on the market for nearly 40 years, and the world has changed.
This smells like Tony Soprano. If you’ve seen the series, you know exactly what I mean. It’s very similar to Lalique Lion, but in Creed, it has that brightness and luminosity that rounds it off masterfully. Lalique is nothing compared to this; it’s not like the Arab clones of Green Irish Tweed. Here, it’s definitely worth trying the Lion because the difference in quality and longevity justifies the price gap.
I’ve worn it as my signature for a month, and it’s a beast. Starts spicy with lavender and bergamot, very dapper, like a 1950s aftershave. Three sprays explode with strength for two hours, even more in cold weather. Then it settles on the skin, lasting 10 hours with a trail that isn’t synthetic or annoying. Dries down to a creamy sandalwood and lavender, very polished. It’s not linear; it evolves from citrus to wood. Lasts all day on skin and leaves a scent on your hands. It’s pricey (officially 295€, I got it for 210€), mixes natural ingredients, comes from Creed, and is a true old-school classic. Smells like a serious man with class and presence. It doesn’t make you older; it makes you serious. If you wear it, you get noticed. It’s like a suit: it commands authority and distance.
Caught the classic fougere: soft and mature. Opens bright and citrusy, then moves into clean, dry lavender blending with woods and sandalwood, featuring a soapy, musky undertone that’s there even if it’s not immediately obvious. Smells fantastic, elegant, and works almost year-round, but watch out: the price and performance don’t match up. You can find it cheaper and better in other brands. Top-tier aroma, but not worth the price tag.
