    Cheers for the offer, but I don't want to be making work for anyone.

    It was more if someone was heading in there anyway on their way to Cork, 'twould've been handy.

    I feel I'm missing out here!! How good is this creed aventus?? And how much is it?? I've never smelled it but I now wanna buy it.

    That’s how I was. I was underwhelmed at first butis slowly growing on me. Creed green Irish tweed is far more appealing to me. But each to their own. Pats samples will guide you in the right direction

    So how does this work?

    This is usually the point where I say all the details are in the OP.....but they're not at the moment as I've temporarily replaced it for Christmas! Basically, these are group buys of fragrances coordinated by me. Taking a little break for a few weeks over Christmas - should be back mid January. Subscribe to this thread for updates.

    I'm starting to smell very 2018!

    Getting going again soon! No Aventus at the moment though - out of stock everywhere.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,598 ✭✭✭Padraig Mor


    Tom Ford are shortly re-releasing several discontinued fragrances as part of the extra-niche "Private Blend Reserve" range, complete with a nice label and premium pricing (expect €245 / 50ml, the same price as F'ing Fabulous, Lost Cherry and the two recent Intense releases - worryingly, it seems TF are setting this as their new default pricing). Of most interest are Amber Absolute, Bois Marocain, Rive d'Ambre, Arabian Wood and Italian Cypress (but of course you've got the last couple from me already, at a fraction of the price!). Rive d'Ambre is on my radar for a big summer split (50ml splits) - opinions welcome....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,980 ✭✭✭Soarer


    Good ol' Arabian Wood.

    Must dig that out and give it a run tomorrow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,015 ✭✭✭✭Mc Love


    As I havent a clue about any of the fragrances - where would the best place be to find out about them or try them. I'm sure BT are catching on to me stealing all their fragrances

    Arnotts and Debanhams usually have a decent selection of fragrance testers.

    If it's the TF Private Blend stuff, you're limited really, especially out of Dublin - just BT generally, and I'm not sure they'll get these new ones in as they may be too pricey. Another suggestion is to use one of the sample sites online. I had hoped to do a bulk order from one of them before Christmas but there wasn't much interest - however, I'll try and get the ball rolling on that again end of the month.

    I'm a big fan of the Italian Cypress I got off you. Very versatile classic cologne scent that's long lasting but not overbearing. I'll be passing through Dublin Airport in a few weeks, must keep an eye out for the others there and see what they're like.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,598 ✭✭✭Padraig Mor


    Just to slowly start off for 2019: I've got a few more Creed triple packs, featuring 10ml each of Aventus, Green Irish Tweed and Viking. These are available at €61.50 a pop, plus shipping. Available in glass or plastic bottles. Glass shipped by courier @ €12.50 (I can include a whole bunch of other stuff too if required), or plastic by An Post @ €4.30 (I can include another four 10ml bottles in the box if required).


    I also have the following ends of bottles available for previous splits.

    Chanel - Gabrielle [female]: Last 10ml left[/B] @ €17.50 / 10ml (in plastic).
    Amouage - Myths: Two x 10ml left @ €26 each (glass).
    Amouage - Lyric: 40ml available @ €22.50 / 63.40 for 10 / 30ml.

    I'll be listing a whole bunch of new stuff later this month - featuring Atelier Cologne, Mancera, Guerlain, Stephane Humbert Lucas 777, Xerjoff, Hermes and Maison Francis Kurkdjian (all to hand). I'll also have the usual Creeds etc, but do note that Aventus availability currently looks a bit shaky!

    OK, I've had a good root around in my drawers (ooer missus!) and have turned up a few small odds and ends if anyone wants them - all one offs.

    Creed Spice & Wood - 10ml (glass) @ E25.
    Creed Spice & Wood - 8ml (plastic)
    Creed Royal Oud - 10ml (plastic)
    Creed Aventus for Her - 10ml (plastic)
    Tom Ford Neroli Portofino - 10ml (plastic)
    Tom Ford ****ing Fabulous - 8ml (plastic)
    Caron Yatagan - approx 25ml in original 125ml bottle @ E10.

    Last chance for a while for most of those I'd say except the Aventus for Her, maybe the NP.

    The 8ml in plastic is gone I'm afraid - have 10ml in glass left - if you want I can move it to a plastic bottle and post it. Let me know.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 926 ✭✭✭G rock


    Perfect, sounds good.

    Postage on the glass will nearly be as much as the fragrance??

    Yeah, for just the single bottle plastic is a better bet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,920 ✭✭✭hitemfrank


    My package arrived today with the 3 Creed scents. It was incredibly well packaged.

    Thanks Pat.

    By Creed? Not that I've heard of anyway. Doubt it's a big seller though. I did one small split of it previously; tried another but not enough interest unfortunately.

    Cheers got it from the previous split and thought it was a very nice scent for work. Fruity (like myself) buy not overpowering. Need to restock so keep me in mind.


  • Subscribers Posts: 3,702 ✭✭✭TCP/IP


    Hey Pat will you be able to get anymore Tom Ford Neroli Portofino.
    Also any Green Irish Tweed in stock. Many thanks.

    Apologies, missed this. Don't currently envision NP happening for the moment although I never know when I'll turn up a good offer! I'll be doing Trefle Pur by Atelier Cologne shortly which covers some of the same bases. May possibly do Tom Ford Rive d'Ambre as well, also in a vaguely similar line.

    Pat will update the thread soon but

    Whole point of the thread is to get to try a niche scent without risking a load of money!

    So, what happens?
    If there is sufficient interest, Pat will buy a large decanter bottle of frangrances and split them into smaller bottles
    When sufficient people sign up

    1.Give Pat money.
    2. Wait for delivery or to meet Pat for collection in Cork.
    3. Smell nice.
    4. Get ride*.

    *not guaranteed.
