    Italian Cypress looking more likely at this stage! A few quotes from Fragrantica:

    "Classy, masculine, powerful, and sexy."
    "One of the best Tom Ford releases... Sadly not sold in stores any longer."
    "Cypress done to perfection. Deep and serious. People around you will show respect"
    "I should have bought a gallon of this stuff before it was discontinued."
    "Italian Cypress does in fact smell like the cypress tree. It manages to capture the entirety of the tree: the green stiff briskness of evergreen, the pine-like moisture of the wood, the soil and air and sunshine."

    .......or maybe not! Just checked supplier, and they've removed the Italian Cypress listing! I'll keep an eye out for it but, given that it's discontinued, I won't be getting my hopes up......

    Hi Pat,

    Do you ever do a Tom Ford oud wood split?

    Thanks

    Pat ran a split at the end of Jan start of Feb on it.
    I kicked myself for only getting a small split on it, so if it popped up again I'd be on for another drop, absolutely amazing stuff IMO.


  • Registered Users Posts: 58 ✭✭Bada Bing Boy


    Hi Pat,

    Do you still have the Amouage left?

    I'll take it if you do.

    Cheers

    As DrZ said, I've done done it previously (a couple of times actually) - should be on the agenda again in Autumn.

    Hi Pat,

    Do you still have the Amouage left?

    I'll take it if you do.

    Cheers
    The Ciel? Gone I'm afraid. Have my eye on a couple more though once I shift a few more bits: Myths, Honour and Lyric.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,890 ✭✭✭Bullocks


    Hi Pat can you put me down for the 40ml of Montale - Full Incense that you have left please ?


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


    Slots and volumes currently remaining as of 02/05/2018 - individual details in OP or PM me if not.

    Only ÒNE of each of the following remaining - all in hand
    Acqua di Parma - Colonia Assoluta: 30ml @ €36. Classic, citrus / fresh, cologne.
    Mancera - Aoud Blue Notes: 10ml @ €16. Unusual, TF Oud Wood - ish scent.
    Xerjoff - Mefisto: 10ml available @ €29. Claimed to be one of the world's best citrus fragrances.Top end stuff.
    Tom Ford - Noir Anthracite: 50ml in original 100ml bottle @ €65. Fantastic, dark wood / green, fragrance - very masculine.
    The AdP, MAncera and Xerjoff will likely never be split again so last chance saloon! I may do the TF again (becuase it's so good) but it'll be a good while.


    Also available - all in hand
    Creed - Acier Aluminium: plenty available. Kinda groovy, cool scent.
    Histoires de Parfums - 1725: 50ml left for 10 / 30 ml splits. Fantastic juice - very sensual.
    Montale - Aoud Leather: 90ml available for 10/30/50ml splits. Tuscan Leather's slightly bonkers French cousin.
    Maison Francis Kurkdjian - Lumiere Noir Homme : 60ml available for 10/40ml splits. Very refined and formal.




    Creed fragrances update
    While there is no way of being certain, it is looking very much like Creed is turning / has turned off the tap to "cheap"(ish!) authorized distributors of 250ml / 500ml flacons. The presumed reason for this is that they want to align prices in all markets (to the highest ones of course!). Currently, they supply flacons to continental Europe cheaper than the UK (becuase Creed doesn't have as much brand cachet in Europe) but, as their business has risen over the last 5 - 10 years and they have formed their own distribution network, it looks like they're trying to get everyone in step price-wise*.
    The net result of this is likely to be both a significant reduction in availability of flacons (partly becuase of a fire at a supplier factory) - possibly limited to just Creed themselves and select sellers - and a considerable rise in their price for splitters. There is still some supply of various flacons working their way through the system at the 'old' price but the rumour is that when these are gone, they're gone forever.

    Depending on interest I (think) I can get the following - if you're interested in any speak now! Any order will likely happen in the next few days, but I may not actually split some for a while yet.
    Original Santal.
    Viking.
    Neroli Sauvage.
    Erolfa.
    Original Vetiver.
    Royal Mayfair.
    (I haven't put some fragrances that were recently split, or failed to complete, here).

    I have ordered:
    Virgin Island Water.
    Aventus for Her.

    I have my fingers crossed to receive one flacon of each of these soon (not 100% sure if they sent them - language barriers!):
    Aventus.
    Green Irish Tweed.



    NB: none of this is 100% confirmed yet, and may yet turn out not to be the case. However, as best as I can make out, this is what's happening and it's last chance to pick up Creed splits at 'low' prices.


    *Creed are / were unusual for a luxury brand in having different pricing in adjacent markets. If you look at, e.g., Chanel, they wield an iron fist over distribution and pricing - it is VERY difficult to find Chanel stuff cheaper than RRP (even if you look at storewide sales, the small print oftehn excludes Chanel).

    Boourns :(


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


    Got a box from the courier last night with a flacon each of Aventus (batch 17X01) and Green Irish Tweed! A fair bit of the Aventus is already allocated - I've just been on to a supplier this morning who says they'll have more Aventus next week but, at the moment, I can't confirm getting any more than the bottle in hand. GIT is all available. Also, Viking will happen (@ €77 / 50ml as I can only get 250ml flacons (more expensive per ml), and it costs more anyway).

    What’s your take/review on Viking Pat?

    What’s your take/review on Viking Pat?

    It got a bit of bad press initially (as the 'difficult second album' follow up to Aventus, it was always going to) but the general feeling in the fragrance community seems to be very much warming to it now - one poster on Basenotes who sold his first run bottle as he didn't think it was great just bought a new one recently even.

    I think it's really good - personally, I reckon it's more versatile than Aventus as it's less 'shouty'. It's definitely a bit more 'mature' than Aventus too, and I think better suited to a workplace.


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


    Yeah some of those early reviews on Fragrantica aren’t exactly glowing alright!
    Cheers!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 135 ✭✭smalltalk

    Pat,

    Put me down for an Aventus for her please?

    Thanks,

    C.


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


    Just so folks know, I am chasing up Creed availability - Aventus in particular - on a daily basis and there is a definite squeeze on. I've literally offered to pay above asking price for Aventus at this stage (AKA bribe the supplier!) with no joy. I've also had a number of confirmed orders cancelled when the supplier couldn't get stock. I've ordered / backordered a few bits now in the hope of having these available later at current prices but I think many Creeds - if even available - will be going up in price unfortunately. First victim is the current Aventus for Her split which I've had to bump up by a fiver as I can only get 250ml flacons (which cost more per ml) after my 500ml order was cancelled. Payment requests for this going out once shipping to me confirmed - today hopefully.

    Summer scents email has gone out to previous buyers - I'll be getting the list on here once I have it formatted properly (which takes ages) - tonight or tomorrow I'd say.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,704 ✭✭✭Doylers


    Fcuk I smell good :pac thanks pat !


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


    Updated 18/05/18 :


    ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Important note re Aventus and other Creeds
    There is a Europe wide shortage of Aventus (particularly) and other Creeds (in 500ml flacons) due to both a fire at a supplier factory, and an apparent attempt by Creed to raise prices in cheaper markets. I cannot guarantee availability timeframes for these but will update when I know more.



    As well as the new stuff below, I also have the following available as of 18/05/2018: - individual details further down this post or PM me if not.

    In hand or already ordered
    Creed - Acier Aluminium: 200ml available - in hand.
    Histoires de Parfums - 1725: 50ml left for 10 / 30 ml splits - in hand.
    Montale - Aoud Leather: 90ml available for 10/30/50ml splits - in hand.
    Mancera - Aoud Blue Notes: last 10ml left - in hand.
    Maison Francis Kurkdjian - Lumiere Noir Homme : 20ml available for 10ml splits - in hand.
    Creed - Green Irish Tweed: ~6 bottles left - in hand.
    Creed - Aventus for Her - ~3 bottles left - on the way.
    Creed - Virgin Island Water: ~6 bottles left - in hand.
    Hermes, Dior, Penhaglion's, Lemon Line, Eau de Soleil Blanc, 80s triple pack: some left of all.
    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


    **New: Summer Sizzlers!**


    Creed
    451060.jpg


    Virgin Island Water - **in hand**
    The ultimate tropical summer scent? Legendary coconut-y goodness – a bit like wearing a Pina Colada! Perfectly unisex. RRP €180 / 50ml.
    €70 / 50ml.


    Jardin d’Amalfi – open split
    From Creed’s top end Royal Exclusives line, this is a super high quality long lasting fresh, citrus scent. RRP a whopping ~€360 / 75ml.
    €72 / 25ml or €130 / 50ml.


    Neroli Sauvage – open split
    Anchored by the warmth of ambergris and spiked with verbena, Neroli Sauvage is appropriate for men and women who appreciate a crisp citrus fragrance with smooth depth. RRP €180 / 50ml.
    €70 / 50ml

    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________



    HERMES
    s-l300.jpg

    Eau d'Orange Verte (eau de cologne) - **in hand**
    Classic summer fragrance that smells like...well....oranges. Lighter eau de cologne so not much worry re over spraying. RRP ~€50/ 50ml.
    €34 / 50ml.

    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________



    DIOR
    Eau-de-Toilette-for-him-65250EDTJU.jpg

    Eau Sauvage (eau de toilette) – **in hand**
    A fragrance legend, this is a classic man’s scent. Great for summer but works well year round too. Comes in quite a few strengths – this is the mid table EdT, often considered the best. Note this fragrance is different from Dior’s much more recent Sauvage (the one with the Johnny Depp ads). RRP €64 / 50ml.
    €42 / 50ml.

    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________



    TOM FORD
    375x500.48152.jpg

    Eau de Soleil Blanc – **in hand**
    A recent addition from Tom Ford, this is a lighter version of Soleil Blanc, with a few additions – so expect something sunscreen-y, with some citrus. Unisex. I only have one bottle of this currently but can get more if the demand is there. RRP €99 / 50ml.
    €20 / 10ml, €47 / 30ml or €66 / 50ml. 50ml portion comes in original 100 bottle and box.

    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________



    Mancera
    375x500.24774.jpg

    Lemon Line – **in hand**
    It’s named Lemon Line, but Lemon Lime may have been more accurate as this features elements of both citrus fruits, with a bit of sweetness. Good performance, and suitable for men or women. RRP ~€92 / 60ml. One bottle available.
    €18.50 / 10ml or €42 / 30ml

    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________



    PENHAGLION'S
    375x500.7052.jpg

    Opus 1870 – **in hand**
    One of Penhaglion’s highest rated fragrances, this retains some classic ‘barbershop’, but is lighter than most of their offerings. One bottle available.
    €17 / 10ml, €36 / 30ml or €48 / 50ml. 50ml portion comes in original 100ml bottle.

    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________



    Triple Pack: 80s powerhouses
    451061.jpg

    No summer freshies here! These fragrances are all legendary scents from the decade of the male powerhouse frag – the 1980s. Subtle be damned, these picks are all unashamed in their power - no doubt Gordon Gekko would have these in his collection. So slick back that hair and stick on reruns of Miami Vice, it’s the 80s again!

    Guy Laroche – Drakkar Noir. Legendary or notorious depending on your viewpoint, this was a massive hit in the 80s.
    Jacques Bogart – One Man Show. Supposedly the ‘powerhouse’s powerhouse’. Apply with caution.....
    Caron - Yatagan. A good hit of dill, giving it an Oud Wood touch.

    Three bottles of 10ml of each: €41. Limited availability!

    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________



    ETAT LIBRE d'ORANGE
    375x500.4525.jpg

    Vierges et Toreros – open split
    ELO are a quirky French house – this scent is generally described as leathery but I don’t get that at all. To me, it’s a very creamy, vaguely tropical smell. Good stuff! RRP €85 / 50ml.
    €21.50 / 10ml, €51 / 30ml or €72.50 / 50ml. 50ml portion comes in original 100ml bottle.

    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________



    Other splits

    Creed


    AVENTUS


    **NB: I'll take names, but do not know if/when I'll get it back, or the price** (see note at top of post)



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

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


    GREEN IRISH TWEED **in hand**
    375x500.474.jpg

    €70 / 50ml.
    ~6 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.

    €80 / 50ml. Ordered. ~4 bottles left.



    ACIER ALUMINIUM
    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. 200ml left.

    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________



    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 2 x 10ml available.

    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________



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

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

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

    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________



    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 Last 10ml available.

    OK for the JdA split (if it happens, which it may well not). Out of luck for the TF I'm afraid - the 30ml is gone. Although if there were more people interested in it I can get more.....

    10ml Opus 1870.

    If you get a second bottle of Eau de Soleil I'd take 30ml as well.

    Any thoughts on the Virgin Island Water? I'm very tempted but not 100% sure Pina Colada is for me :pac:

    Pat, can you get Sel Marin anymore?... I'd be interested if you can get your hands on it

    OK, have you down for the Opus. Bit of interest in the Eau de Soleil Blanc so I might do another split - give me a few days to get a few other bits sorted and we'll see where we are.

    VIW - I think it's great. It's extremely 'tropical' - a very happy fragrance. However, while they're not exactly the same, having both that and the TF Eau de Soleil Blanc would be overkill I think - they both tread very similar water.....

    I can get it no problem but I don't see it being a viable split TBH - did a bottle of it before and it languished for a while (would have dropped it only I really wanted to split it). Pity, as it's really good. Actually I sampled another Heeley frag the other day - Menthe Fraiche.....thought it was brilliant, and not the total mint bomb I expected.

    Would take the 50ml Eau de Soleil Blanc if still available?

    Ok we'll go with the Tom Ford then. I'm in no rush so can hold on the Opus for the minute. I might have another look and throw something else into the the mix :)

    I'm surprised that the Sel Marin isn't a goer, perhaps if there's a few others on here wanting it they may shout?
    I'm not familiar with the Menthe fraiche, but if it's something you're going to carry I'd be in

    OK, couple more Tom Ford Eau de Soleil Blanc ordered! At the moment, after current requests (if you've asked already, I have you down), there's about 70ml left for grabs, including one 50ml portion.

    If enough peeps want it, it'll be done! Menthe Fraiche: I'm vaguely planning to do it if I clear out most of the stuff I have in hand at the moment, although there's a fair bit to go yet.

    Ok, fair enough... maybe a few will jump onboard for the summer months ahead

    Updated 24/05/18 :


    ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Aventus
    I'm cautiously optimistic that I will have - some at least - Aventus within the next two weeks (ETA to me early June). Expected price of a 50ml split will be €75 - an unfortunately necessary rise. As of yet, I won't be getting a huge amount in as I have to jump through some rather awkward hoops to actually get the stuff!


    Full details (description, price) of all fragrances are in the OP here.


    I have the following available in hand as of 24/05/2018:
    Histoires de Parfums - 1725: 50ml left for 10 / 30 ml splits.
    Montale - Aoud Leather: 90ml available for 10/30/50ml splits.
    Maison Francis Kurkdjian - Lumiere Noir Homme : just 20ml available for 10ml splits.

    Creed - Acier Aluminium: 150ml available.
    Creed - Green Irish Tweed: ~4 bottles left.
    Creed - Aventus for Her - ~2 bottles left.
    Creed - Virgin Island Water: ~2 bottles left.

    Hermes - Eau d'Orange Verte, Dior - Eau Sauvage, Penhaglion's - Opus 1870, 80s triple pack - good availability.

    Mancera: all sold out.

    Tom Ford Eau de Soleil Blanc - bottles 1 and 2 sold out, one last bottle on the way - final orders!


    Open splits:
    Creed - Jardin d'Amalfi.
    Creed - Neroli Sauvage.
    Etat Libre d'Orange - Vierges et Toreros.
    All have only a small number of people signed up. If you're interested in any of these, get your name down quick as they will be withdrawn shortly if the interest isn't there.
