What do reviewers say about Bois du Portugal and Bon Viveur?
Bois du Portugal has been holding its own since 1987 without chasing trends. That restraint is precisely what makes it work. This is not a safe choice in the way that a mass-market freshie is safe;.Bois du Portugal
Bon Viveur doesn't perform. It presides. The gin-watermelon heart is an unusual move, sweet and sharp at once, but it works because the structure underneath is airtight.Bon Viveur
