Sir are you with the mafia?

[@carlanderson08]

Very great fragrance! Some people say it's not for my age, but I love to wear it with my 29 years. It's my favourite Creed.

[@MrSmelly1977]

Yes it can be worn by anyone who likes it.

[@vandemonia]

@AF you realize Creed recently got bought out right..?

[@redikurti8334]

Sane for me, in my 20ies but i love this one so much

[@BEANLIFTZZ]

I wear it with my 20 years 💪 it’s not about the fragrance it’s about the man wearing it

[@Saxeh]

Bois du Portugal is one of the first fragrances I purchased since getting into the hobby, and I owe it pretty much all to you, Dan. It's still easily in my top 10, so, well done, sir!

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thank you so much. That’s so nice to hear!

[@MrGorobu]

Honestly, this fragrance is iconic. It requires confidence from its wearer. Aventus alone is just too easy. This is one which leaves people craving more because it is unique, so long as you leave a certain impression.

[@JT-rx1eo]

Bois du Portugal is my #3 fragrance of all time. The smoothest frag I've ever laid nose on. And my #1 Creed.

[@MrSmelly1977]

I agree it’s great! Thanks.

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm a fan of this fragrance and I give it a 9 out of 10 in my opinion and have a blessed day

[@959lover]

I haven't worn this in years, as it was one of the Creeds my father would wear and I wanted to be different. Watching this is making me want to dust off his old bottle... Great video, Dan!

[@MrSmelly1977]

That’s great. It’s such a good scent .

[@nahdi]

I recently bought my first bottle of Bois du Portugal . Pleasantly surprised , it’s becoming one of my favorite ever perfume . I’m now favoring it over Royal oud ..I also feel that Royal oud was made based on bois du Portugal structure or base ..thank you Mr.Smelly

[@pedgy2053]

Great video. Still also my number 1 frag of all time. I have two 100ml bottles in my collection (2020 and 2021); unfortunately, both have the new label and fairly sure the ambergris has been removed as a note now. This diminishes the dry down which is no longer as “creamy” and the longevity suffers a bit too. That notwithstanding, still no other fragrance I prefer to douse myself with than this masterpiece.

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thank you! Ah that’s a pity if it’s changed.

[@flasherol3764]

I have this Creed fragrance and it's one of my favourites. Great choice for your number one all time fav fragrance.

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thanks. You have great taste!

[@dualityofnature]

Years ago, when I owned and wore Bois du Portugal, I felt absolutely ravishing. It felt like a luxury and prestige that I hadn't experienced in my tough working class upbringing. I wanted so much to embody this aura of sophistication and class in my late 20s, to distance myself from what seemed to be more pedestrian and coarse. I bought into the myth of Creed, hook line and sinker, and wore a number of their fragrances, with Bois du Portugal seeming to be the culmination of what Creed offered. 16 or more years later, I would then discover the work of Patricia de Nicolai, and her New York Intense would turn out to be an even more refined approach to this style, at least to my nose, feeling even more refined and elegant. However, Bois du Portugal will always be a fond memory of a time that I was searching myself, before all the wisdom, when everything was new and exciting, in terms of my exploration in fragrance and in the world in general.

[@mvr2579]

About a month ago, I went to Nordstroms and asked to try Bois du Portugal. The girl working said oh this is something you have to wear a few times....so she makes me 3 vial samples. I absolutely fell in love with the fragrance (and the girl in a way) I only own Green Irish Tweed, which I like a lot (like aventus and hymilaya alright...rest are just okay), but Bois Du Portugal is magic. It's not something lightly I'll buy cause Creed prices, but it's full bottle worthy

[@MrSmelly1977]

Oh that’s really nice of that girl. Green Irish Tweed is also amazing.

[@iam_ismell]

Lalique’s version gives me a similar wear but overall Creeds Boi de Portugal is a more enjoyable wear. Enjoy reaching for it primarily when spring rolls around. 🔥🔥

[@MrSmelly1977]

Agree. Thanks Mike .

[@RachelKNg]

Hi Dan! 😂🤣😂 I’m dying laughing! You’ve got to hang up your million-dollar Art on the wall! I’m excited to order my first NW frag this week!

[@MrSmelly1977]

Ah thanks so much Rachel!

[@friendzenterkolkata]

I call this iconic fragrance, "The Forever King of Men's Fragrance". Absolutely amazing and my number 1 as well!

[@eaglesbrockin3517]

Bought a 1.7. I'll be backing it up with a 3.3 soon. I think it may be my favorite too. Need a little more time. Thanks for the pointer!

[@KanwarAnand]

hahaha at intro - was not expecting it

[@califinn]

Fantastic fragrance, first time I put this up to my nose I was obsessed. So Good

[@johnfeet5476]

Halfway through the video, past fall the promos plugs and outright commercial, they finally get to it. I fast forwarded of course.

[@ferbeybill]

Great video, great fragrance...a classic!

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thank you !

[@michaellynady7271]

I've had a decant for quite a while. I usually wear it around the house when in the mood. I usually don't find the right time to wear it. My suit and shirt days are over, but I would rock it if I still worked in an office setting. Fantastic frag, so no hate from me. Don't know if it's true, but it being a favorite of Sinatra just makes it better. Enjoy & Merry Christmas 🎄

[@edwardelliott1756]

Great video Dan. Looking forward to smelling CF on Christmas Day!

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thank you Edward.

[@western-oud1898]

Tested it today for the first time and absolutely love this style of perfume..on my skin it reminded me quite a bit of Armani eau pour homme which is strange because the notes are nothing alike

[@MansaMusa-v5q]

We need a video of the current batches vs the old batches

[@deadinthewater218]

Great upload Dan!

[@lord.needham]

I am new to fragrances and this is my current favorite as well.

[@cooperdaniel5901]

Love Bois du Portugal. It smells exactly like PIno by PIno Sylvestre in their dry down phases. Pino is less than $20 per bottle and for me, they have similar longevities.

[@SubaruWRC1996]

I dont know what it is but there's something I do love about bois du portugal. I initially went in to try Royal oud and tried a few other creeds and kept going back to bois du portugal so I bought it.

[@WSF176]

You have always championed this one. Hope you are well

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thanks! Hope you’re well too.

[@yanfountos1337]

Currently a 40% sale on creed fragrances and got a discontinued 120 ml bottle of Himalaya today, is Boise Du Portugal worth the buy? I'm 22

[@nigelwilliams8537]

I bought a 100ml bottle of BdP from Creed's Mount Street store in 2017 and finished it in 2019. I loved it for about 6 months, liked it for another 6 months and spent the rest of my 2 year ownership period feeling that it was too much of a good thingand that it was too dated and so "lavenderised" that only Miss Marple could endure it. I have a theory that Sinatra's alleged devotion to this frag safeguarded him from "sleeping with the feeshes" because the aroma of BdP was so strong that the Mafiosi hit men couldn't bear to get close enough to Frank to bump him off: perhaps Creed sould market it as an invisibility shield! Despite finishing my bottle, 4 years ago in 2019, whoever I open a certain wardrobe door, the indestructible BdP fragrance still hits me like a scent-tsunam - not so much Nania as olfactory maniai!!

[@atjlucko123]

Thanks my man for this soooo gooood excellent video. I have CREED ”Bois Du Portugal”, ”Green Irish Tweed” and missing ”Royal Oud”! This three ”knights” of CREED is absolute georgous for spring, summer and fall time of year, but one missing for winter! Would you sugest some CREED for me please Mr. Smelly?!?!

[@MrSmelly1977]

Great trip you mention. I also love Royal Mayfair and Himalaya.

[@makstaz79]

Sounds like my kind of scent I think I will give it a try am sick of all the Invictus type scents am smelling everywhere

[@watchscentsny-2150]

Cannot wait for the 15th to get here fast enough. Happy holidays Dan.

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thank you so much !

[@dimitristzafestas3993]

I'll go for the Gravitas masterpiece signed artwork for 1.000.000 f@cking $$$ !!! Congratulations Dan !!! 👍👑🏆🏅 Fragrance community in shock !!!

[@MrSmelly1977]

Ha ok! Thanks.

[@stonecharles7163]

I wore Bois Du Portugal in both Thailand and Portugal itself. It is a brilliant fresh, warm weather, nostalgia type of scent.

[@tedoneilclark4710]

The old fashioned vibe about classic fragrances is because they are made of mostly natural organic ingredients and real flowers. Nothing like the modern day artificialy chemical concoctions that are now created for the mass commercial market.

[@badabing6474]

Brunello Cucinelli and creed bios du Portugal is like milk and cereal

[@johnp2857]

I was a 23 year old kid wearing this one. I loved it then, it was also 120.00 for 2.5.

[@adrianhargreaves2854]

It’s my only creed fragrance.smells awesome.

[@MrSmelly1977]

Agree

[@waynewigginton1400]

Rarely doI agree with such a strong view on a fragrance. I whole heartedly agree. Bois Du Portugal is hands down my favorite scent. I have the entire Creed collection of scents except for Viking and Jardin d Almafi. I ended up with a flacon and a 100ml bottle of BDP. That’s how I determined it’s my favorite. It’s the scent I’ve spent the most on with GIT coming in a close second. Awesome review.

[@johnstewart8494]

When reaching for a clone of this, which do you prefer, Alexandria Highlands, or Dua Royal Portugal?

[@Ataristar]

This fragrance simply reminds me of my grandfather

[@victorashul]

I'm happy with my Lalique pour Homme Leo... Not in the mood to spend 400$ on that 🙃

[@MrSmelly1977]

Fair enough. That Lalique is also great.

[@basiltiffani8850]

The Dua version of Bois du Portugal is fantastic. Very close. Some days I actually prefer it.

[@tonytramonti5828]

Eau du `Bellende by Guiseppe `Baldasarre is the most unique fragrance I’ve ever smelt , hard to find though.

[@justaddlight]

That intro 🤣 But yeah, Bourdon a genius in his own right. Can't deny that I didn't appreciate BdP originally, but I suppose I grew up. A top 5 Creed 4 life. I'll be upset if flankers suddenly appear. Unless they're well done. Cause if I smell one IOTA of Sauvage, BdC, BR540 or some other sweet woody amber molecule......I swear I'll stick ALL my Creeds in a picture frame.....

[@alextolfrey9793]

What’s the performance like on the new versions mate?

[@christopheclaus8505]

i love this one smelled it and i had to get a bottle every time i apply this a big band starts to play in my head XD

[@MrSmelly1977]

Exactly !

[@tomf1617]

I will tell you the funny story, I am from Poland, we were living in communism for many years, out dads and grandpas had the same cheap cologne called Brutal (still available on the market). You can find it in every drug store somewhere on the bottom on the shelves (the cheapest fragrance) and it smells very simillar to Bois de Portugal (but is more masculine). 😂

[@marcialsblendsfragrance2972]

Great revamp/reboot episode 11/10

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thank you Marcial!

[@steveb8269]

Along with Royal Oud, need to get my hands on some...

[@MrSmelly1977]

Both great

[@alfiedavissinger]

15 and I love it

[@frankp1648]

The vintage version of Van Gils is the best men's fragrance ever made. That's an 11 out of 10 for me. Bois du Portugal is arguably the best men's fragrance on the market today. 10 out of 10 for sure.

[@ManicMindTrick]

What Van Gils is that? Not the one from 2018 right?

[@frankp1648]

No, it's from the 80s. Current formulation is called Van Gils Classic. Easy to find in the Netherlands, difficult to find in other countries. It's still quite nice.

[@ManicMindTrick]

@@frankp1648 How is the current formulation vs vintage?

[@frankp1648]

@@ManicMindTrick It doesn't have the same depth and strength as the vintage. But it's still classy if you like the powerhouse fragrances from the 80s.

[@frankp1648]

And finally, to make matters even more confusing, it's also being marketed as Van Gils Strictly for Men... Oh well at least it's not discontinued.

[@SuperGilly71]

😂 just shows how subjective this game is, i agree with so much of your opinion Dan but i hate this stuff. Doesn’t even smell masculine to my nose just 100% old lady.

[@dnoll]

Kind of funny to hear your thoughts on this fragrance's style because it was Frank Sinatra's to go to cologne

[@MansaMusa-v5q]

That was never confirm
