Creed Bois Du Portugal

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers.

It opens on bergamot, moves through lavender, and settles on sandalwood, cedar and vetiver.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• lavender: clean herbal flower, cooling and slightly soapy

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
