I did a couple of bottles of the EdT version (Eau de Soleil Blanc) last summer so may have filled that gap for people. One fragrance I'll be listing for summer which may be of interest (with the VIW you're getting and the Soleil Blanc query I take it you're a fan of coconut!) is Coccobello by Heeley. It's only vaguely similar to those two, and perhaps gets a bit of bad press because people are expecting something along those lines - instead, Coccobello smells like an actual tropical island. Coconut is the obvious star of the show, but here it's much drier than many expect - not really sweet at all, with a backbone of palm leaf, salt and wood - as I said, the aroma of a genuine deserted tropical island
Yay, I already love the sound of it. If you do a split Pat, I'd definitely take a punt. I do like the salt and wood. Oh a huge fan of coconut
and it would be nice to have something that wasn't a sweet one. Out of curiosity, have you heard anything about the new Guerlain Coconut Fizz?
Thanks again0 -

Haven't heard anything re it. I will be doing Guerlain's Herba Fresca for summer alright though - minty goodness!0 -

On a tangent here
What are peoples setups to store their collections.
Ming is getting a little out of hand so need to come up with adesk / something to store them all.
Anyone have pic of their collestions ?
I keep most of my own personal stuff in a rather appropriate box.......
This allows me to keep my bottles nice and neat.
Whoops!
Have other bottles in assorted corners. I do have a 'display' of sorts on a kitchen counter of empty Creed and Tom Ford decanters but it's rather lost behind a mound of clutter at this stage!0 -

Jesus Pat....my collection of your juices is bigger than your own! :P0 -

I have mine on the bathroom shelf and the bigger original bottles in boxes which I got from pat are kept in wardrobe.
I read that the frags will evaporate on a shelf and exposed to heat/light, is that true or nonsense?
I was thinking of putting up a cabinet in the bathroom for them. Something like this
Or maybe I'll just store in bedside locker drawer

They will degrade quicker if left constantly exposed to strong light / heat. However, I would imagine it's an incremental thing really and you'd want to go out of your way to wreck a fragrance quickly.Luckycharms_74 wrote: »

Some updates and a new split:
At the Barber's: I've ordered three bottles of this but supplier only had two. They've sent these and will send the other when it arrives. Looking forward to sniffing it! I have some slots available on that last bottle at €14.50 / 10ml or €40.50 / 30ml.
Virgin Island Water: i'm going to go ahead with a second split of this due to the interest - payment requests incoming. I still have four 50ml bottles available @ €77 each.
**New split**
Mancera - Cedrat Boise *in hand*
This is perhaps Mancera's best known fragrance, even though it's atypical for them. Rather than an aoud-y beast, this is a much fruitier and woodier affair. It is of course best known as an 'Aventus clone' - this does it a disservice though in that (i) Mancera have never pushed it as such IIRC and (ii) the drydown on this is much woodier than Aventus, and also is more blackcurrant forward than the Creed's pineapple. Having said that though, there is no doubt that the opening bears a significant resemblance to that of Aventus, albeit thicker and 'jammier'. Rates very highly on Fragrantica, at 4.27/5.
I got a scorching deal on a bottle of this so price is a bargain €13 / 10ml, €35 / 30ml, or €54 for 60ml in the original 120ml bottle and box (for contrast, I split this two years ago at €20/43/65 for the same volumes). One bottle only, in hand, ready for shipping with the next batch of deliveries.
€13/10ml, €35/30ml, or €54/60ml. 60ml portion comes in original 120ml bottle and box.0 -
