Memo Russian Leather: 25ml left; I'll send this in the original 75ml bottle and full presentation (large leather box) if wanted @ €60.50 - rare to get such nice packaging with such a low volume!
10ml plastic bottles: I'm almost out for the moment (think I have one left) as my supplier retired! Waiting for more from China - may be a few weeks!
Tom Ford Metallique for women - I have a split open on this but need any further signups ASAP as I'd be collecting it abroad this week. Currently 50ml allocated, rest available @ €18.50 for 10ml, €35.50 for 20ml, or €52.50 for 30ml.

**NEW STUFF**
MAISON FRANCIS KURKDJIAN
Oud (eau de parfum) *in hand*
One sniff of a sample and I knew I was splitting this. This is not an in your face, hard oud – rather it’s soft and smooth. Cedar and saffron take centre stage, against a background of creamy oud. Very unisex and easy to wear. RRP €195 / 75ml.
€22.50 for 10ml, €40.50 for 20ml, €50.50 for 25ml, or €92 for 50ml. 45ml left.

TOM FORD
Oud Wood Intense *in hand*
Tom Ford’s smooth Oud Wood has long been a splits favourite. This recent Intense flanker (at an even higher price bracket) certainly lives up to its name and is a much deeper, richer scent - Oud Wood given a bad boy makeover. The oud is still there but given some serious animal oomph – this fragrance most certainly its own beast and not in any way redundant if you already have the original. This is much more a night time fragrance, and is perhaps a bit too agressive for the office. RRP €245 / 50ml.
*new size* €53 for 20ml, €66.50 for 25ml, or €120 for 50ml in cube decant bottles. 125ml 65ml available.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Good availability on the following: 50ml+ left *in hand*
Aramis - Perfume Calligraphy: Saffron
A cult hit, with a very high review score, this is now discontinued. A unisex blend of dusky saffron, beeswax and rose. Smoky, but smooth and soft. Quite an Arabic / Oriental vibe.
€12.50 for 10ml, €23.50 for 20ml, €33.50 for 30ml or €46 for 50ml. 50ml portion comes in original 100ml bottle with wooden stopper and box.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Medium availability on the following: 30 - 40ml left *in hand*
Memo - Russian Leather
A ‘had a sniff, had to split it’ here. Memo Paris are an upmarket French brand, but with a strong Irish connection (the co-founder is from Tipperary). The house is perhaps best known for its Leather series of scents – Irish Leather and African Leather are the most well known, but I prefer Russian Leather. There’s leather obviously, but also a very strong undercurrent of green woods – pine and cypress feature, along with others (for those that know it, there’s a touch of a more restrained Amouage Beach Hut here), making it quite a fresh take on leather. Unisex. Bottle and large leather box are quite dramatic. So is the RRP at €205 / 75ml.
€26 for 10ml, €49.50 for 20ml, or €60.50 for 25ml . 25ml portion comes in original 75ml bottle and leather box. Note there is a scratch on the box.
................................................................................................................
Montale - Spicy Aoud
A typical Montale medicinal oud in the background, with saffron and orange leading the charge. Dark and smooth. Unisex, but leaning feminine to my nose. RRP €65 / 50ml.
€12.50 for 10ml, €24 for 20ml, or €34 for 30ml. 40ml available.
................................................................................................................
Etat Libre d'Orange - Vierges et Toreros
Creamy cognac, leather, nutmeg and spices. For me, this is pretty close to Maison Marliega’s Jazz Club – if you missed that, you could do worse than pick this up. RRP €135 / 100ml.
€14 for 10ml, €26.50 for 20ml, or €37.50 for 30ml. 40ml available. 30+ml portion comes in original 100ml bottle / box.

Last chance on the following - 20ml or less left *mostly in hand*
Atkinson's - 41 Burlington Arcad
A limited edition from the historic Emblematic Collection, 41 Burlington Arcade was released to mark the opening of their flagship store in Mayfair (at you guessed it.....41 Burlington Arcade). “Centred around Liquorice and the revelation of its sensual charms, darkly bittersweet and earthy tones have been sublimated with vivid notes of pink pepper from Reunion Island, West Indian Bay leaf from Dominica and Indonesian Patchouli. Floral transparent notes have been dialed up to deliver freshness and vivacity.” Sounds nice? It is nice! RRP €179 / 100ml.
€13.50 for 10ml, €24.50 for 20ml, or €35 for 30ml. 20ml available.
................................................................................................................
Parfums MDCI
Rare availability from this highly regarded boutique French house. I have one 10ml available of each of the following: Chypre Palatin (male), Cuir Cavalier (male) and Fetes Persanes (unisex). All very well reviewed.
€25 for 10ml.
................................................................................................................
Atkinson's - The Odd Fellow's Bouquet
English house Atkinson’s is perhaps best described as a slightly more playful Penhaglion’s. Apparently inspired by Lawrence of Arabia, this fragrance is designed to evoke the fireside luxuries of a London gentlemen’s club in days gone by. So expect leather, tobacco, amber, and booze....plenty of booze. You’ll see plenty of comparisons to Tom Ford’s Tobacco Vanille but they’re pretty wide of the mark IMHO except in the most general sense. One reviewer mentions a hookah pipe – that’s a better example to me. RRP €130 / 100ml.
€12.50 for 10ml. One only.

No joy on the Burning Rose in the duty free unfortunately! Should have given a few more days notice and I could have ordered it in..... Back here in November though so should be good for then! Tried two top price Tom Fords: Lavender Extreme is a bit minty TBH - Beau de Jour is superior, and Lost Cherry smells rather too much of cherries (well duh!).
Picked up some Chanel Antaeus though!

Couple of quick splits by request!
CREED
Love in White
Medium weight women's perfume from Creed. Might be one to pick up for Christmas?
"Love in White reveals itself in an array of glorious aromas to form a feminine, sophisticated and slightly powdery perfume with a seductive heart of French daffodils, white iris and tonka bean."
This split is *likely* to happen - already have a couple of requests; one more gets it ordered! RRP €240 / 75ml.
€88 for 50ml in a cube decant bottle. 3 bottles available.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
BYREDO
Gypsy Water EdP *ordered*
Eau de Parfum version of this release from hip Swedish house Byredo. "Woody notes of pine needle and sandalwood associated to intense amber and fresh citrus evoke the fever of gypsy nights spent in the forest". Unisex. RRP €120 / 50ml.
This split is happening - the bottle has been ordered. 40ml available.
€22 for 10ml, €42.50 for 20ml, or €62 for 30ml.

Le Labo - Santal 33: superb woody scent, very popular. Didn't even know I had one of these left so jump on it! One 10ml in glass @ €25. Highly recommended.
Issey Miyake - Or Encens: an unexpected stunner from this house! Dark, brooding rose and incense - don't let the rose fool you, this works great on a man. I think this could be sought after in years to come (now discontinued). One 20ml (plastic) available @ €24.50, and two 10ml (glass) @ €14 each. Highly recommended.
Mancera - Black to Black: one of Mancera's highest rated classic rose / oud combos. Beastly projection, beastly sillage, beastly longevity! Three 20ml (plastic) available @ €25.50 each.
