Sorry boss! Things OK but father in law in a bad way - just puts more time pressure on with kids etc - luckily splits is a fun part of the day though!
It's actually the singer Dermot Kennedy who is making the claim...I'm not in a position to call him a liar

New May list will be posted in a few minutes but just a quick note re something I've been thinking about recently - similar to fragrance splits but different.......
WHISKEY BOTTLE SHARES
As you can guess, this is basically the same as a fragrance split but you drink the high alcohol product instead of spraying it! (although I guess you could spray it if you wanted...). It's not something I'm definitely doing yet - just putting it out there to see if people would be interested - give me a shout here or PM / email. If so, I'll look into it more (is it even legal?!) and discuss with the mods.
This isn't something I'd envision as being as 'full on' as the fragrance splits - more an occasional single bottle thing rather than multiple bottle orders which I wouldn't have the time to do. You'd be likely looking at 50ml portions at cost plus materials (bottles etc) with my slot being covered by the other members - I hope this sounds OK. Shipping would be as per the fragrance splits - I'm guessing I'd be using glass bottles only so the usual courier charge, but I will investigate plastic ones. Need to check up on the relevant regulations as well.
So, what's being shared? Well, first up would the Redbreast 27 above (RRP €495 I think) - and that would pretty much set the scene in terms of what I'd be looking at. Probably mostly Irish but also Islay (I love me some peaty Scotch), maybe some Japanese etc....
Any thoughts - just let me know.0 -
FRAGRANCE SPLITS - MAY 2020:
After a few weeks off due to coronavirus (you may have heard of it), it's time to put a scented pep back in your step! I'm back in operation and can arrange collection of packages from my house in order to abide by movement restrictions. Much of the stuff is in hand and I expect to start shipping these from approx. 18th May.
Please note!
1. All shipping is subject to Covid-19 delays, longer timeframes etc - shouldn't generally be a problem but mentioning it just in case.
2. My completion of any 'open splits' which fill may be slowed down by any delays in stuff being shipped to me - there are significant delays across Europe with shipments currently. I will give ETAs as best I can but they are provisional.
Bottle sizes
Glass bottles: 10ml, 25 / 30 ml (same bottle), 50ml. NB: new batch of 10ml glass bottles I've just (March 2020) started using actually hold slightly less, about 9.6ml - apologies.
Plastic bottles: 10ml, 20ml.
Note 20ml splits are available in plastic bottles only
"Open splits" need to get a minimum number of people signed up to go ahead.

CREED
Millesime Imperial *open split*
Iconic spring / summer unisex fragrance from Creed - salty, marine-y, fruity. An easy wear and never inappropriate - imagine Green Irish Tweed's salty sea dog cousin - with a glint in his eye. RRP €190 / 50ml.
€80 for 50ml.
................................................................................................................
Original Vetiver *on the way*
Another banger from Creed - citrus drying down to soapy / earthy vetiver. Another easy wear and very office appropriate. Continuing the theme above, if GIT is an English gent in a suit, this is a Mediterranean guy in perfectly cut linen. RRP €190 / 50ml.
€22 for 10ml, €42 for 20ml, or €61 for 30ml.
................................................................................................................
ACQUA DI PARMA
Arancia di Capri *in hand*
Full of fresh, aromatic and encouraging notes - the juicy freshness of orange, Sicilian mandarin, bergamot and luminous, bitter grapefruit. One for the summer!
€23 for 20ml, €32 for 30ml, or €50 for 50ml.
................................................................................................................
SIMONE ANDREOLI
Malibu: Party in the Bay *in hand*
This is getting serious attention online - so much so that shops are selling out of it! Lime, coconut, booze, sugar - if you think this is a summer scent that sounds like Creed's Virgin Island Water you're not far wrong! Ideal hot weather wear and an undoubted similarity to the Creed, albeit a more 'fun' - there's a soild dash of Calippo ice pop in here too. An absolute joy.
€20 for 10ml, €37 for 20ml, €54 for 30ml, or €80 fpr 50ml. 50ml portion in the original 100ml bottle and box. I've only got one bottle - I'd suggest being quick, very quick.....
................................................................................................................
JULIETTE HAS A GUN
Citizen Queen *coming soon*
Female fragrance here from cult outfit Juliette Has a Gun (where'd they get the name?!). I think this is really nice - instead of fruits and flowers, this is rather more suave and features chic powder, iris and musk. More of a 'going out' number.
€15.50 for 10ml, €28.50 for 20ml, or €41 for 30ml
................................................................................................................
MAISON MARGIELA
At the Barber's *coming soon*
Lavender, musk, herbs - this is a real 'does what it says on the tin' fragrance. So expect traditional barbershop, shaving soap type smells.
€15 for 10ml, €27.50 for 20ml, or €39 for 30ml.
................................................................................................................
PARFUMS DE MARLY
Darley *in hand*
Lighter than many of PdM's range, this riffs on Amouage Reflection, JPG Le Male and Creed Original Santal. Lavender, tonka, mint and spice. RRP ~€195 for 125ml.
€17 for 10ml, €32 for 20ml, €39.50 for 25ml, or €70 for 50ml.
................................................................................................................
ATELIER COLOGNE
Trefle Pur *in hand*
Did this one previously and hesitated to list it again as it took a while to move previously. But it's so damn good I just had to go again! Bitter orange, clover, neroli, basil - the overall effect is grassy and lightly green. Very fresh, ideal for daytime wear. A true unisex. RRP €60 for 30ml.
€23 for 20ml, €33 for 30ml, or €50 for 50ml.
