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.
X Homme offers a great budget option with its blend of woody and spicy accords. It's ideal for everyday wear.
