    Hi Pat

    Just wondering what you have Tom Ford wise ?

    The narrower a man’s mind, the broader his statements.

    Hi Pat

    Thread update coming later / tonight.

    I really like the Millesime Imperial actually. A bit less in your face than the Aventus. And if you like MI, check out Sel Marin by Heeley which is even more marine-y; available in (the rather wonderful) Parfumarija on Clarendon St, Dublin.

    I have to say i really like the Millesime Imperial, my new favorite :cool:

    Updated 28/03/18:

    Please excuse the gap since last update - a lot of work has been going on in the background!



    I can't update this post myself (need to ask a mod) so slots / volumes remaining may be a few days out of date. I'll normally update this post once per week and post an additional update once or twice per week to the last page of the thread.

    Important note re Aventus and Green Irish Tweed
    Once again there is a Europe wide shortage of Aventus (in 500ml flacons). I have pair of flacons ordered (and paid for!) since January but no sign of them yet. This week I shipped out my final bottle of Aventus which I had in hand so until further notice I have no Aventus. Whenever availability improves I'll have it again - I am still taking names, but not money until I know it's on the way to me - I hope this will be sooner rather than later!

    This has affected Green Irish Tweed for me as well as, while there is no problems with availability of this, I have a flacon of it on the same order as the Aventus - so it's waiting on the Aventus to arrive before it ships to me!




    Slots and volumes currently remaining as of 28/03/2018 - individual details further down this post or PM me if not.

    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


    New splits!:

    Tom Ford: Noir Anthracite *ordered*
    237085003?$prod_main$


    The latest from Tom Ford's standard line, this is a surprisingly 'niche' scent. Instead of the sweet vanilla of its Noir stable mates, this is a much darker, more masculine affair. Very green, but very earthy too. A bit like Amouage's Memoir if it was buried under several feet of soil. I'm honestly blown away by this one. RRP €99 / 50ml.

    €20 / 10ml, €46 / 30ml or €65 / 50ml 50ml portion comes in original 100ml bottle (i.e. half full) & box. 40ml plus 2 x 50ml available.

    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Montale *in hand*
    12.jpg?1417468586


    Full Incense
    Like Heeley's Eau Sacree or Cardinal? Then you'll like this! Straight down the line church-style incense. Really good, and lasts well. RRP ~€90 / 50ml. I’ve been watching this one for a while and it’s rare to pick it up discounted.
    €19 / 10ml or €41.50 / 30ml. 1 x 10ml and 1 x 30ml available.


    Aoud Leather
    Could be considered Montale's version of Tuscan Leather, although it's certainly not a clone and is rather more pungent than TL (which is saying something).
    €19/41.50/57 for 10/30/50ml. 50ml portion gets original 100ml packaging. 100ml available.

    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Maison Francis Kurkdjian: Lumiere Noir Homme *in hand*
    49806.jpg?width=400&404=product.png

    My first MFK split! This is a rich, dense, formal fragrance - ideal for evening wear. Donning a tux? This will go very well with it. RRP €130 / 70ml.

    €24 / 10ml or €74 / 40ml 40ml portion comes in original (rather nice) 70ml bottle & box. 40ml plus 2 x 10ml available.

    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Mancera: Aoud Blue Notes *in hand*
    375x500.30383.jpg

    Opens with a citrusy union of bergamot, mandarin and Calabrian lemon, completed with fruity and green notes. The heart introduces floral accords of ylang-ylang, violet, rose and orris, spiced with earthy and woody shades of patchouli leaves. The base accentuates guaiac wood combined with sandalwood, while intense leather and amber provide warmth to the composition.” I get a touch of Tom Ford Oud Wood as well. RRP €80 / 60ml.

    €16 / 10ml, €34 / 30ml or €47 / 60ml. 60ml portion gets original 120ml bottle and packaging. 80ml available.

    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Amouage: Ciel *in hand*
    87_ciel_pour_homme_amouage_for_men.jpg

    The high quality compositions of Amouage need no introduction. Ciel is lighter than many of their offerings, great for Spring / Summer. RRP €240 / 50ml.

    €60 / 30ml. 1 x 30ml available.

    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Creed: Acier Aluminium *on the way*
    o.16293.jpg
    Creed's very first masculine scent, dating back to the 70s. Now discontinued, but I've sourced another bottle. Old school, but not in a dry, barbershop, way; quite soapy but also a bit sweet and fruity - if this was a movie, it'd be Boogie Nights. 'Only' an Eau de Toilette but actually quite powerful - go easy on the trigger.

    €36.50 / 25ml or €58.50 / 50ml.

    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


    Creed (all E70 / 50ml)
    440490.jpg


    Millesime Imperial - *in hand* (2 x 50ml left)
    A salty, marine vibe. This is perhaps surprisingly versatile and works well for most occasions. Unisex but tending to male. "The gold standard in fragrance, this refreshing and invigorating scent evokes the citrus groves and lush seaside palace". RRP €180 / 50ml.


    Himalaya
    Classic, masculine cologne. Male. "A seductive scent of citrus mixes with warmer notes of sandalwood and cedarwood to recreate the snowcapped Tibetan landscape......this fragrance is the embodiment of pure confidence and rugged masculinity". RRP €180 / 50ml.

    .......................................................................................................................................


    Creed Women's
    440491.jpg


    Love in White
    "An ode to Creed’s sophisticated craftsmanship and passion for the world’s finest ingredients, Love In White combines hand-selected essences from five continents, a fragrant statement of global unity and peace. The scent is pure freedom—a floral-fresh blend grounded by Florentine iris, French daffodils, and subdued, powdery Tonkin rice". RRP €132 / 30ml.

    Spring Flower
    "Spring Flower is an attempt to bottle the glamor and fashion of Hollywood’s Golden Age. Much like the erstwhile starlets of the silver screen, the style and grace of this scent is a timeless classic." RRP €132 / 30ml.


    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________




    Chanel
    440493.jpg

    No 5 L’eau (female) – *in hand*

    Chanel's iconic No 5 is the world's most gifted perfume. It's also apparently the most RE-gifted as many women don't seem to actually like it! This L'eau version is a recent addition by Chanel and attempt to 'modernise' No 5 to something a bit lighter. They seem to have succeeded as it rates considerably higher than the original on consumer review sites. RRP €68 / 35ml or €89 / 50ml.

    €69 / 50ml. 2 bottles left.



    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


    Acqua di Parma: Colonia Assoluta *in hand*
    assoluta_dx.png


    Great, fresh, citrus cologne, which generally seems to be the best reviewed of the AdiP Colonia lineup. Unisex and great for day wear. RRP €76 / 50ml.

    €36 / 30ml. 2 bottles left.



    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


    Histoires de Parfums: 1725 Casanova *in hand*
    81XGZfvFBhL._SY355_.jpg

    Really great, powdery, fragrance, very 'Spring'. One of my top picks. RRP €35 / 15ml.

    €24.50 / 10ml or €59 / 30ml. 50ml left.




    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________



    Other splits

    Creed


    AVENTUS
    nd.9828.jpg

    The legend! No other niche fragrance has received a fraction of the attention as Creed’s pineapple / smoke concoction. If the tales are to be believed, one squirt of this will have women flocking to your bed and other men cowering before you! Can the reality match the vast hype? Of course not – but I have to say it is really nice. Long lasting too – a few squirts will do you for the whole day. So why doesn’t everyone rush to the shop to pick some up and then seduce some virgins? Because it costs so bloody much! The newly launched Aventus 50ml bottles retail at approximately €200 – but wouldn’t you rather forego the packaging and pay ~2/3 less instead?!

    €70 / 50ml. **NB: unavailable until further notice** (see note at top of post)
    *new*: pro printed labels.



    Aventus 100ml retail bottles (original, boxed) also available at €189.50. Brown Thomas price: €264.50.

    .......................................................................................................................................


    GREEN IRISH TWEED
    cregitm_aedp20-01__7.jpg

    €70 / 50ml. Held up at supplier - ETA TBC (see note at top of post).
    ~5 bottles left to allocate.



    AVENTUS FOR HER
    894_107e7a8456cccbbe611046519c84b35b.png

    It's Aventus......but for women! Which of course means they charge more! RRP €230 / 75ml.

    €75/50ml.
    Coming before summer.

    Hey

    Do you do discontinued fragrances? Looking for Emporio Armani White (also known as Red) for him. It was discontinued years ago.

    The Anthracite? No problem. Don't see LIW happening unfortunately, barring a sudden rush of interest!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 82 ✭✭Parkman77


    Picked up a couple more new bottles from Pat in the last week or so there.
    Excellent service as always!
    Creed Silver Mountain Water. Really light, fresh, unisex, an everyday, easy to wear smell.
    Tom Ford Anthracite Noir. Really really nice. Like no other smell that i’ve had before. Hard to describe. Long lasting smell too.
    Tom Ford Black Orchid. Big smell. Unisex. Lasts for ages. Kinda blown me away actually how nice it is.

    Aventus update

    I've heard (unconfirmed) reports that Aventus supply is to be majorly restricted for the next several months following a fire at a raw ingredient plant. Supposedly, Creed have stopped producing 250/500ml flacons until Autumn, in favour of smaller volume bottles......which are of course not much good for splitting! It has also been reported that Creed will shortly ask suppliers to stop selling their fragrances online until production increases, plus that they are going to significantly increase the wholesale price of Aventus in markets where they feel the price is 'too low'.

    Whether any or all of this is accurate, I don't know. However, I have been waiting for a couple of flacons of Aventus since January without joy. I have ordered a flacon with a supplier new to me which is currently on its way to me - however, it has to come via Parcel Motel as they don't ship to Ireland so there is obviously a significantly increased risk of damage. This supplier is now out of it too (I got their last bottle AFAIK). Presuming this flacon gets to me OK, it should be split this week but may be the last one for a while! Prices may also rise for future splits if the above reports are correct as well.

    I will post any updates / clarification when I get them.

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


    Do you have Aventus for her?

    Not at the moment, but will in the medium term - looking at early summer-ish. Feel free to put your name down - the more people signed up, the quicker it'll happen!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,921 ✭✭✭dashcamdanny


    Ok put me down for it, what's the process?

  • Registered Users Posts: 371 ✭✭Edser


    Hi Padraig,

    Quick one - I've seen TF Soleil Blanc mentioned earlier in the thread. Would you have any available?

    Thx,
    Ed


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


    Aventus:

    I received a flacon of Aventus yesterday. As above, this may be the last one I can get my hands on for a while, and at the current price. (Of course, it may all turn out to be fine in a few weeks as well, but I just don't know at the moment!). I have about five bottles left to allocate if anyone's looking for some. Note that I don't think I'll have these ready to ship by Monday - I'm then out of the country the rest of the week, so it's likely to be week beginning April 23rd before they ship.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 82 ✭✭Parkman77


    Pat,

    I’ll take another bottle of Aventus off you please.
    No hurry on my part.


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


    Ok put me down for it, what's the process?
    I've your name down for it here. When I get enough names to go ahead with the order, I'll send you a payment request. ETA a month or two. Note this depends on its availability - apparently it's also affected by the apparent supply issue details above.

    No I'm afraid. I listed it a while back but there was only one or two signed up so it didn't go ahead. I might stick it up again for the summer though!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 904 ✭✭✭DrZeuss


    Received another delivery from Pat last week and have had a chance to try them out.

    TF Tuscan Leather - I like this one a lot, definitely leather but I get a very very smokey aroma. Very long lasting too, I could smell it on my jacket collar the following day :O I'm really liking these TF private blends. This is up there with my current favourite TF Oud Wood.

    TF Noir Anthracite - Not sure I'm liking this one, I may need to give it a few more tries, compared to the Extreme variant this seems very light and weak (I'm no connoisseur), maybe its just my nose though.

    Mancera Aoud Blue Notes - Now this was a surprise, very nice but not very long lasting, strong start for the first hour or so but after 6-7 hours it disappears completely. It'll get a good run this summer all the same!

    And as usual the packaging was top notch :)

    That's funny - I find it very strong smelling (ans much 'denser' than the Extreme), albeit it doesn't seem to last especially long. One of my recent faves TBH.

    I definitely think it's my nose thats the issue :pac:

    For example a few years ago I had a bottle of Paul Smith London, I got a very very strong smell of coconut from it (coconut is not listed as being part of the scent) but other people were smelling campfire off me :o

    I'll not give up on it though, as it took me a few trips through Duty Free to like TF Grey Vetiver too!

    Yip, have two of the AdP left (nice stuff BTW). I listed a Creed Original Santal (that's what you're after yeah?) a little while back but it got little interest TBH.



    Updated lists of splits etc coming later today hopefully. New summer splits then coming in the next couple of weeks.

    Received another top class supply from Pat last week

    Xerjoff mefisto - fabulous. Real fresh and summery. Really love this.

    Tom Forde Noir Anthracite. Totally different. Earthy and more of a night fragrance.

    Chanel for her indoors. She really likes this. Lighter and more youthful than previous chanel.
    Thanks pat

    Important note re Aventus and Green Irish Tweed
    There is a Europe wide shortage of Aventus (in 500ml flacons). I have pair of flacons ordered (and paid for!) since January but no sign of them yet. I recently shipped out the final bottle of Aventus which I could get my hands on so until further notice I have no Aventus. Whenever availability improves I'll have it again - I am still taking names, but not money until I know it's on the way to me - I hope this will be sooner rather than later!

    This has affected Green Irish Tweed for me as well as, while there is no problems with availability of this, I have a flacon of it on the same order as the Aventus - so it's waiting on the Aventus to arrive before it ships to me!

    The latest from Tom Ford's standard line, this is a surprisingly 'niche' scent. Instead of the sweet vanilla of its Noir stable mates, this is a much darker, more masculine affair. Very green, but very earthy too. A bit like Amouage's Memoir if it was buried under several feet of soil. I'm honestly blown away by this one. RRP €99 / 50ml.

    €65 / 50ml 50ml portion comes in original 100ml bottle (i.e. half full) & box. 2 x 50ml available.

    Montale *in hand*
    12.jpg?1417468586


    Full Incense
    Like Heeley's Eau Sacree or Cardinal? Then you'll like this! Straight down the line church-style incense. Really good, and lasts well. RRP ~€90 / 50ml. I’ve been watching this one for a while and it’s rare to pick it up discounted.
    €19 / 10ml or €41.50 / 30ml. 1 x 10ml and 1 x 30ml available.


    Aoud Leather
    Could be considered Montale's version of Tuscan Leather, although it's certainly not a clone and is rather more pungent than TL (which is saying something).
    €19/41.50/57 for 10/30/50ml. 50ml portion gets original 100ml packaging. 90ml available.

    Maison Francis Kurkdjian: Lumiere Noir Homme *in hand*
    49806.jpg?width=400&404=product.png

    My first MFK split! This is a rich, dense, formal fragrance - ideal for evening wear. Donning a tux? This will go very well with it. RRP €130 / 70ml.

    €24 / 10ml or €74 / 40ml 40ml portion comes in original (rather nice) 70ml bottle & box. 40ml plus 2 x 10ml available.

    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Mancera: Aoud Blue Notes *in hand*
    375x500.30383.jpg

    Opens with a citrusy union of bergamot, mandarin and Calabrian lemon, completed with fruity and green notes. The heart introduces floral accords of ylang-ylang, violet, rose and orris, spiced with earthy and woody shades of patchouli leaves. The base accentuates guaiac wood combined with sandalwood, while intense leather and amber provide warmth to the composition.” I get a touch of Tom Ford Oud Wood as well. RRP €80 / 60ml.

    €16 / 10ml 2 x 10ml available.

    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Amouage: Ciel *in hand*
    87_ciel_pour_homme_amouage_for_men.jpg

    The high quality compositions of Amouage need no introduction. Ciel is lighter than many of their offerings, great for Spring / Summer. RRP €240 / 50ml.

    €60 / 30ml. 1 x 30ml available.

    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Creed: Acier Aluminium *in hand*
    o.16293.jpg
    Creed's very first masculine scent, dating back to the 70s. Now discontinued, but I've sourced another bottle. Old school, but not in a dry, barbershop, way; quite soapy but also a bit sweet and fruity - if this was a movie, it'd be Boogie Nights. 'Only' an Eau de Toilette but actually quite powerful - go easy on the trigger.

    €36.50 / 25ml or €58.50 / 50ml.

    Creed (all E70 / 50ml)
    440490.jpg


    Millesime Imperial - *in hand* (only one left)
    A salty, marine vibe. This is perhaps surprisingly versatile and works well for most occasions. Unisex but tending to male. "The gold standard in fragrance, this refreshing and invigorating scent evokes the citrus groves and lush seaside palace". RRP €180 / 50ml.


    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________




    Acqua di Parma: Colonia Assoluta *in hand*
    assoluta_dx.png


    Great, fresh, citrus cologne, which generally seems to be the best reviewed of the AdiP Colonia lineup. Unisex and great for day wear. RRP €76 / 50ml.

    €36 / 30ml. 1 bottle left.



    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


    Histoires de Parfums: 1725 Casanova *in hand*
    81XGZfvFBhL._SY355_.jpg

    Really great, powdery, fragrance, very 'Spring'. One of my top picks. RRP €35 / 15ml.

    €24.50 / 10ml or €59 / 30ml. 50ml left.

    Taking names for it at the moment (apologies, it's not om update above but should be in OP) - expect to order some in next few weeks.




    BTW, does anyone have an interest in Tom Ford - Italian Cypress? Discontinued Private Blend fragarnce; generally very good reviews. I can get it for a decent price, but would need a good few peeps signed up for it.

    Good stuff. TBH I'm not sure it'll actually happen as it's not as well known as some of the 'biggies' but needs a lot of interest to make it viable - we'll see how it goes.....

    Hi Pat, you can put my name down on this.

    If it was to happen when would you be thinking? June/July or earlier? I might grab some more stuff off you in the next few weeks so it'd be handy to bundle everything together.

    Cheers. TBH it depends on people signing up - if I get 10+ I'll order it and hope to move the rest after. However, it's at a promo price at the moment and I don't know how long that'll last! Unfortunately I can't confirm the cost until I get it in my hands (it'd come from outside the EU so duty and VAT may be charged) but I would expect it to be in the same region as the last Tobacco Vanille and Tuscan Leather splits. Regardless, there's never any problem paying for one split and me 'holding' it until you order other stuff later - I do it all the time.
