Question:
Nothing like it, but PdN New York comes closest.

Great stuff, but BdP is prohibitvely expensive. I was lucky enough to split the cost of it with another BNer.

I would go with a small decant of it, given you already have a lot of frags already. If you find yourself depleting that decant, then you might want to get either a larger decant or say dash it all; and blow $240 or whatever the going rate is for BdP 8 oz flacon.

Answer:
Well I guess I was too specific. I'll settle for something of the same dry woody style without a touch of sweetness. !0 Corso Como, Tam Dao, Rocabar, Corolian?? Right now I'm trying BdP next to Yatagan and this might do the trick actually.

Answer:
As someone who owns New York and worships the ground it walks on (I'm ordering three of her other men's scents tomorrow) I can tell you that it is nothing like BDP. On paper they may share a few similar notes, but BDP is such a majestic woody beast that nothing I've encountered can top it.
On the other hand, if you haven't smelled New York yet, you really so owe it to yourself to try it.

Answer:
There is an inexpensive fragrance called Nature Millenaire. I just sprayed BDP on my left arm and Millenaire on my right. Certainly not the same, but perhaps a nice budget alternative.

Answer:
If you like Bdp you might want to try:
Azzaro Pour Homme
YSL M7 or Rive Gauche
Comme Des Garcons 2man
not similar but along the lines of Bdp, nice and strong frags for the fall.

Answer:
Ha well I actually own all of those except 2 man and I do love them all also. All 5 star scents.

Answer:
The only scent that reminds me of BDP would be ..
CARACTERE by Daniel Hechter(1989)
As soon as i sampled BDP this is what i immediately thought of..

Answer:

There was a similar thread to this one just before Christmas that I can't seem to find. You might see search for it.
In that thread I made the following recommendation:
The only fragrance I've encountered that is consistently close throughout its drydown to Bois du Portugal is Les Néréides' Oriental Lumpur. Of course, it's missing the fougère (lavender) element that Bois du Portugal has in the top notes along with the exquisitely elegant orangey citrus top note, but it more than makes up for it as it dries down and continually echoes decidedly Bois du Portugal's seriously somber elegance and assured blending of spices and woods. Ignore the moronic reviews on Luckyscent.com which can only claim that Oriental Lumpur smells of curry or like an Indian restaurant. This is one of the most adept and careful blending of spices and woods and one of the most elegant orientals one is likely to find.

Answer:
While they don't smell that close, for me Santos by Cartier (or better yet Santos Concentrée) catches the essence of what BDP was going for and in my opinion does it MUCH better.

Answer:
Heritage is in the same ballpark.
