Which Should You Buy?
Bois du Portugal is undeniably 'old money' a classic gentleman's scent that, despite some calling it 'grandpa-ish', largely gets a pass due to its sheer quality. It's a divisive one for age, but praised for its timeless class and masterful blend.
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Acqua di Parma Colonia (1916) - sicilian citrus, lavender and vetiver translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
