CREED


Viking *open split*
Already have 500ml of this gone, hoping to do another 250ml. More mature than its famous sibling Aventus, this is a warming mix of woods and spices. Effortlessly wearable in all situations (office included), this is preferred by some (myself included) over its big brother. RRP €220 / 50ml.
€90 for 50ml.

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


TOM FORD


Tobacco Vanille *on the way*
Y’all know this one I’m sure – it’s a stone cold classic. A heavy, sweet mix of tobacco and vanilla (obviously!) that lasts and lasts – now for a fantastic price. RRP €188 / 50ml.
€38.50 for 20ml, €47.50 for 25ml, or €84.50 for 50ml. Only 50ml left!



Jasmin Rouge *open split*
Highly rated jasmin and ylang ylang based female perfume. RRP €188 for 50ml.
€24 for 10ml, €46.50 for 20ml, €69 for 30ml, or €105 for 50ml. 50ml portion comes in original 100ml bottle and box.

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


LUBIN


Akkad *in hand*
Amber, olibanum, elemi, styrax, labdanum, clary sage – this sounds like it’d be right at home in the lineup of Amouage or Xerjoff. And those are good reference points – Akkad is an eastern style warm spicy amber. Very high quality and a safe unisex. I gave this an all day run recently and it really is very good - couldn't stop smelling my wrist! RRP €160 / 100ml
€20 for 10ml, €37.50 for 20ml, €55 for 30ml or €84 for 50ml. 50ml portion comes in attractive original 100ml bottle and box.

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


PARFUMS DE MARLY


Godolphin *in hand*
This is PdM’s big leather scent – their version of Tuscan Leather. Pretty straightforward addictive leather in the vein of the Tom Ford, although the closest comparator is probably Acqua di Parma’s Colonia Leather. RRP ~€160 / 75ml.
€19 for 10ml, €33.50 for 20ml, €42 for 25ml, €76.50 for 50ml, or €95.50 for 75ml. 75ml portion comes in original 125ml bottle and box.

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


NASOMATTO


Pardon *in hand*
I’ve been asked to feature Nasomatto plenty of times.....so here you are! Pardon is perhaps their best, with dark chocolate leading the charge, supported by oud, sandalwood, sweet tonka and spices. Another extrait so super performance. Nasomatto only sell in 30ml bottles (but still at a high price!) so I’m splitting this a bit differently to usual. I’ve stuck 1ml volumes into sample tubes (plain label) for the bargain price of €5.50 – these are only available as an add on to another order. RRP €124 / 30ml
€5.50 for 1ml Add on to other order only - plastic sample bottle and plain label.

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


MANCERA


Royal Vanilla *in hand*
Opens with soft, warm vanilla before toughening up with patchouli and amber. Being a Mancera, performance is guaranteed. A cosy winter scent.
€13 for 10ml, €24 for 20ml, €34 for 30ml, or €53 for 60ml. 60ml portion comes in original 120ml bottle and box.



Cedrat Boise *in hand*
Mancera's Aventus alternative. Obvious comparisons with the Creed here, but this is a bit thicker and jammier. Cheaper too!
€12.50 for 10ml, €23 for 20ml, €32.50 for 30ml, or or €49 for 60ml. 60ml portion comes in original 120ml bottle and box.


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


ROJA PARFUMS


Enigma Parfum Cologne *open split*
“Shrouded in a swirl of Cognac and Tobacco, a suave figure sits cool and composed at the bar of a private members’ club - where the scent of Woods and Leather pervade. Dressed in a way that defies the club rules, this alluring presence is definitely unexpected. Why is he here? How did he get in? You cannot take your eye off this mysterious man. Warm touches of spice blend with soft Vanilla and Benzoin, which create a sense of ambiguity - nothing is quite what it seems.”. Roja have released several of their most popular scents in a new 'parfum cologne' concentration - these appear to be replacing the current eaux de parfums so presumably are around that strength. Reports on Enigma PC suggest it's a slightly fresher take than the original, and longevity is good. What's for sure though is that it is a LOT cheaper than the shockingly expensive extrait.
€33 for 10ml, €65 for 20ml, €96 for 30ml, or €150.50 for 50ml. 50ml portion comes in original 100ml bottle and box. Bottle unavailable for first split; will need enough for a second split to make another available.
Also: €33 for 7.5ml official travel atomiser (boxed). One only! RRP €46+.
................................................................................................................


BERDOUES


Arz E-Rab *in hand*
A bit of belter from under the radar brand Berdoues. Notes for this list cedar, ginger and iris. I get the first two but not the iris - seems to be a good dash of lemon and pepper in there too. Pushing more towards Spring material here, but for the price this is really very good and a pretty safe wear.
€12 for 10ml, €22 for 20ml, €31.50 for 30ml, or €42.50 for 50ml. 50ml portion comes in original 100ml bottle and box.

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


THIERRY MUGLER


Pure Malt*in hand*
Sibling to Pure Havane, the star here is whiskey malt. It’s well in the background (behind vanilla and fruity notes) though so don’t fret about stinking of booze.
€11 for 10ml, €20.50 for 20ml, or €30 for 30ml.

No probs Pat, enjoy the trip. I will check your list and put in a couple of fillers to my TF order on hold

Hehe....I'm back already! Unfortunately I'm at work now rather than gallivanting .

I'll email you a current list - kinda cleared out last week or two.

Hi Pat,

New customer here. Can you put me down for Aventus - 50ml please?

Im just going to see what else you post up today and maybe make additions.

Sure. Update with what's left coming later (hopefully).

Pat, any Viking left?

All gone I'm afraid.......however, believe it or not you're the second person to ask for one this morning so maybe there's some more interest? If so, I'll get another 250ml in - but let me know quick! Packages from France are very slow at the moment so it's pretty tight to get it in, split, and shipped out in time for Christmas. It'd be €90 for 50ml (RRP for a retail 50ml bottle is €220).

Creed Viking - 50ml €90.

I'm actually wearing Viking today - bloody hell it's good! Rate it higher than Aventus personally, especially in colder weather.

Updated 28/11/19 :


Notes
I've a lot of stuff going out over the next couple of weeks (Christmas rush!) so some new requests may not ship until the week of 16th December. If you're stuck though, just let me know.

TOM FORD


Soleil Neige *open split*
Brand new from Tom Ford. "Soleil Neige is the bright side of Soleil, a polar expression to Soleil Blanc’s solar floral. Radiant with winter light, the scent mimics the shimmer of sun on snow." With notes of bergamot, carrot seed and jasmine, the new Private Blend Soleil Neige Eau de Parfum is a citral-floral-musk scent. RRP €188.
Note 1: this is listed as unisex but I suspect leans feminine.
Note 2: move quick! To get this price, I have to order the decanter by tomorrow Friday 29th!

€47 for 20ml (plastic), €58 for 25ml or €107 for 50ml.

Amber, olibanum, elemi, styrax, labdanum, clary sage – this sounds like it’d be right at home in the lineup of Amouage or Xerjoff. And those are good reference points – Akkad is an eastern style warm spicy amber. Very high quality and a safe unisex. I gave this an all day run recently and it really is very good - couldn't stop smelling my wrist! Very high Fragrantica rating at 4.42 / 5. Some reviews:

"Amazing amber! Most incredible dry down of a fragrance ever! Deliciously addictive sticky resinous amber accord with a powdery vanilla. It has an airy aromatic opening with the mandarin, bergamot, cardamom and clary sage."

"The best amber scent I have ever smelled. Cuts thru the cold air like a knife. When I wear this I know that no one smells better."

"Sensual, perfectly unisex with moderate sillage and projection, the fragrance slowly and very surreptitiously evolves on your skin. A true triumph of modern perfumery."

"Smokey,spicey with some sweetness. This smells exactly how it should. Deep,rich and warm. The complexity outshines any of the CDG Incense Series scents IMO. Majority of the notes are detected and this is easier to wear. Much more of a cold weather scent that is versatile enough for women and men, day or night. Performance is excellent."

€20 for 10ml, €37.50 for 20ml, €55 for 30ml or €84 for 50ml. 50ml portion comes in attractive original 100ml bottle and box.
