Strong contender
FragDNA score · on paper
The review
Highlands scores 6.6 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Bois du Portugal.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Bois du Portugal's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $110 per 100ml it costs 76% less than Bois du Portugal — the 8th cheapest of 8 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Alexandria Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Creed Bois du Portugal is bergamot and lavender at first, cedar, vetiver and violet at its heart and sandalwood, Tonka Bean and ambergris at the end. Alexandria Fragrances set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
