Any Tom Ford portofino going ?

Have done Neroli Portofino previously - TBH it's not one I see happening again anytime soon unless there were a sudden burst of interest.

Sprayed 1 shot of the Amouage Opus I received this week on my wrists yesterday evening, can still get a faint whiff of it now. Powerful stuff, good thing it smells mighty!!

Different Amouages will appeal to different people but one thing that's never in doubt with this house is quality!

Going to update the current split lists shortly (tonight hopefully - including Creed Silver Mountain Water - now 'on'), before adding a bunch of new stuff later this week including the TF Noir Anthracite and Tuscan Leather, as well as several single 100ml bottle only splits.

Haven't priced the new stuff up yet - will do in the next few days. Apologies for falling a bit behind with the new bits - for some reason I find the more 'free' time I have at home (as has been the case since last Tuesday night - only managed to get out of here today!), the less I seem to get done - something to do with being out of my routine I guess, plus lots of snowy fun with the kids!

Back to hospital tomorrow re my shoulder - hoping to get the OK to drive again which should help get deliveries back on track (although nearly everything to date is now gone out anyway). Hopefully I don't balls it up shoveling loads of snow the last few days!

Bois du Portugal and Green Irish Tweed participants (especially BdP, as you guys have already paid) - still nothing from the supplier re these; I've emailed them tonight.

OK, getting a few shows on the road!

Creed Silver Mountain Water: this is now happening. I have two 50ml slots left @ €70 plus shipping if applicable. I know a few people asked re this so now's your chance - it won't be happening again for a good while!

Green Irish Tweed: I'm sick of waiting for this to come in (held up by other out of stock items), so I'm just ordering more! Payment requests out. None available on this bottle, but I will have more available whenever the earlier bottle arrives.


Down to the last few of each of these - I don't expect to be doing these again for the foreseeable:
Vetiver triple pack: 1 set of 3 x 10ml left.
Amouage Beach Hut: 2 x 10ml left.




Bois du Portugal: the suppliers are shrugging their shoulders as they can't get it from Creed (who don't even have the large flacons available themselves). Apologies for the long delay with this.....

Pat, throw my name down for one of these please!

Me too please Pat! For the Silver mountain water.

I got the Vetiver triple pack a few weeks back and they're nice fragrances. Bit of variety as well so no harm.

Hi Pat,
Do the GIT bottles come with the printed metal label like the Aventus?

Well spotted JK - yes Perse, you're on the list already! Last spot to Jack so.

I'm not the world's biggest fan of Grey Vetiver and never have been, but I'm in a minority on that. Vetiver Extraordinaire and Bel Ami Vetiver blow me away every time.

No, the Aventus is really the only one that has enough takers to justify getting them done. Having said that, if there was a good offer at the printing company, I might jump.

Bel Ami can only be described as.. ahem.. savage

thehairyone

Well Pat,

If you get no takers for the last triple vetiver pack would you consider splitting it up?

I have too much juice on the go already so couldnt justify getting another 3 but would gladly take one of the vetivers off your hands!!

Padraig Mor

Silver Mountain Water and latest GIT ordered and already shipped to me. Expect to start shipping them week beginning 19th March.

Yes, although to the last few bottles in hand at this stage. Will shoot you a payment request - will ship Monday if you pay via Paypal or Revolut today.

What's the performance like on these latest aventus? I haven't heard much positives to be honest.

I see no difference in them compared to any previous ones I've bought (from Pat or elsewhere).
What have you been hearing?

Padraig Mor

Looking at the main fragrance forums, I see quite a few people saying its performance has been lessened in recent years. Whether that's actually the case I don't know, but there is no doubt that many fragrances (generally, not just Creed) have been affected by more and more restrictions by IFRA (the FIFA of fragrances, if you like) on what they can actually use in their products - generally for the worse. The use of oakmoss has been heavily restricted and I believe Creed were known for using it by the bucketload!

However, I believe the whole notion is somewhat overblown. Looking at fragrance forums would have you believe that every fragrance on the market now has been decimated and that 'vintage juice' is a panacea. Cries of 'reformulation' are legion, even where there is scant evidence that this is the case. TBH, I take the whole thing with a pinch of salt - I've never come across fragrances that disappear within an hour, despite many claims to this end online. While some / many fragrances may have been affected by regulation, does it really make that much difference?

Looking at Creed generally, and Aventus in particular, there seems to be a fair bit of evidence that its formulation has been changed, rendering it prone to anosmia - whereby the wearer finds it difficult to detect, but those around them do not. Essentially, the brain 'ignores' the smell after a while, even though it is still actually there. Certainly, I have come across situations where people wearing Aventus couldn't really smell it on themselves, but they were most certainly still pumping it out to others!

For me Padraig... I like to wear a scent that other people notice on me. That fact that I stop smelling it doesn't bother me -it's that I come across smelling good to the people around me.

Hence the Aventus works really well for me.

Keep up the good work

I've been reading stuff online, mainly fragrantica. I take it all with a pinch of salt really so I said I'd ask here first to see what experiences people are having in general with 2017 onwards batches of aventus, not with what padraig is selling.


If you could put me down for a 50ml aventus Padraig that would be much appreciated. I can collect as I live in Cork City. Thanks

I definitely get this with Aventus and Green Irish Tweed. Can't smell it off myself after a while but if I go to put on the same t shirt or whatever I was wearing the next day I'll get a bang of the Aventus off it still so I know it's not that the fragrance disappeared!

Picked up a 50ml bottle of Aventus from the man himself in Turners Cross. Had a nice chat with him too, really nice guy! Very impressed with the bottle so well done Pat on all his hard work. Looking forward to trying this out tomorrow. Thanks again!

I wouldn't chance it at all... Pat sells atomisers for a few quid, get 1 or 2 of those and you'll be ok.
