People find it similar to Creed Bois du Portugal, which I’ve smelled before, but right now can’t confirm it nor deny it. However, I’m very impressed by Lalique Pour Homme. Created by Maurice Roucel, opens with a very classic and vintage fougère aroma accentuated by the lavender, green, and citrusy freshness. However, that vintage nuance dissipates while transitioning to a more citrusy/sweet and woody intensified aroma, that makes it feel a perfect contender to the actual modern counterparts. The dry down feels more balanced while the florals blending with mossy and woodsy nuances and the citrusy/sweet accord as the backdrop. I’m so glad I came across to this one. I would say, (as many elders in our society) this is an underestimated and prejudged scent due to its age and edge, but does have a lot to offer. There is no way to appreciate it if isn’t fully wear. It’s multifaceted, complex, very alluring, masculine, and elegant fragrance. It’s a whole year round and any occasion scent, with good projection and great longevity.

I've noticed recently in UK, Versache Dylan Blue & Oud Nior are heavily discounted at half price. Dylan Blue at £53 at The Fragrance Shop & Oud Noir £60 at Boots. Is there any reason why all of a sudden both of these would start to be discounted quite heavily especially as other retailers are still selling them close to full price?
