    Hi Pat, can you send me the details on the whiskey splits? I got the initial email but not the details of what bottles were actually going to be split
    Sorry about that - not sure what happened there as you're definitely on the list! Will be sending list of new shares next few days so keep an eye out!

    All gone I'm afraid! I've got some Parfums de Marly Akaster though - as another rose/oud, may do the trick?
    Hi Pat,

    Do you do recommendations? The better half looking for new smellies. She typically likes alien and hypnotic poison if this helps. Something you have or will have in advance of xmas would be great.

    Or better again - 3 that you will post 10 mls in advance of xmas then she can pick which one she likes the most and ill pick up a 50ml of it!
    I also want to pick up a males fragrance but no idea what i should be looking at - I like the sound of an oud but having never smelled one I just dont know.Perhaps the same as above, i might get 3 10 mls and then pick the best one? I like the creed aventus (who doesnt) and sauvage by dior (i think).

    James
    Hmm....don't know Alien; think Hypnotic Poison is fairly 'heavy'? Have nothing specifically female here (I think) and TBH am unlikely to get three in before Christmas but keep an eye out for my next email. A recent one I thought was very good was Citizen Queen by Juliette Has a Gun.

    Male stuff - I have a few bits which frankly aren't moving so am thinking of a 'clearance' type listing shortly - should be a good opportunity to pick up 3 x 10ml. Couple of ouds in there too (including Gucci Intense Oud which literally nobody has bought, much to my surprise!).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,201 ✭✭✭jamesbondings


    yea i think they are - i think thats why she wants to move away from them. looking forward to that email - although my problem still exists what with not knowing what to get - think a child in a sweet shop for the first time hahaha so many options!

    ill reply to the email directly.cheers mate

    Put me down for the last Aventus for her, please!

    Hi Pat, do you have any Dolce & Gabbana - The One for Men Royal Night left per chance?


  • Registered Users Posts: 35 Martin maloney


    Hi pat,

    Both Packages arrived safe and sound. Excellently packaged as usual!. Gave the wife the choice of the unisexes and she choose man of Aran over the absolu which I love!
    Knize ten then evokes some serious 80's throwbacks to something my father would have tucked in beside the old spice and brut on the bathroom shelf. Seriously good Manish vibe off it.
    The bucheron is lovely but the winner is the Valentino oud essence. As you said defo something for the outside forest walk during autumn/Winter weather. It's an animal for performance too. Decent drydown. Lasts a good few hours.
    Many thanks.M

    That Valentino is a definite animal - without doubt the least 'safe bet' of your lot so good to hear you like it!

    It really is great isn't it? Top of my list anyway. Still waiting on confirmation on the last split being taken - will update here if it comes free again.

    And I'm sure you can say the same about the wife with shoes or whatever!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,575 ✭✭✭Padraig Mor


    BTW if anyone is interested in Miller Harris - La Fumee Arabie (reviews), speak now or forever hold your silence! Needs another 20ml to get ordered - will strike it from the list in the next few days if that doesn't happen.


  • Registered Users Posts: 232 ✭✭thehairyone


    Hi pat. I haven't ordered in ages as my press is full to the brim with Fragrances.. but I'll make room for 20 ml of spice and wood if that last bit isn't taken. Thanks.

    Great stuff! Apologies you didn't receive it until Monday - I posted it the previous Wednesday! Have seen quite a few days with both An Post and courier over the last week or so, so have started shipping earlier in the week. The delays are a pain in the ass TBH but to be expected I guess.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 899 ✭✭✭DrZeuss


    Another selection received today, and as per usual, very well packed.

    Jovoy - Wow, what a monster room filler but in a very good way.
    I may keep an eye out for any others from this line if you plan to split them.

    So An Post got your package to you overnight, but Caroleia above had to wait five days! Se, that's what I'm talking about!

    Glad you're enjoying - yeah, the Jovoy Private Label is a bona fide beast, sorry I didn't take some myself, may have to get more!

    The silly season has begun very early this year, An Post seems to be fine here currently but I have noticed issues with other couriers lately.

    Oh stick me down for another split of it if you are getting more, can see it being used a lot.

    Any POAL for Christmas Pat?


  • Registered Users Posts: 7 Oldref


    Hi Pat - received my 3 earlier in the week. Top class as always!!

    Hi pat

    Received the juice thus week, perfect as always. Delighted with it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,575 ✭✭✭Padraig Mor

    can i Get 20mls of Valentino Oud essence, 10mls of Gucci oud intense, and 10mls of By the Fireplace?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,575 ✭✭✭Padraig Mor


    Have finally worked my way through the email requests. Will be in touch with folks as soon as I can - may be a few days though, don't worry I haven't forgotten! Good few bits sold out quick - and am afraid I left it a bit late in the day to be able to order further bottles in before Christmas.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,324 ✭✭✭Tilikum17


    Hi Pat,

    Any idea when you’ll have Creed “spice & wood” available again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,191 ✭✭✭uncle_sam_ie


    Hi Pat,
    I'll take 50ml of the Baccarat Rouge 540 EdP if it's still available.

    No timescale currently - definitely not 2020. Will keep a watching brief on it for Autumn 2021 but only if I can get a decent price on it.
    Hi Pat,
    I'll take 50ml of the Baccarat Rouge 540 EdP if it's still available.

    Completely oversold but I have emailed the (many) disappointed requestees to say that if they're happy with Feb 2021 I'll do it again then, although can't guarantee pricing.

    Unfortunately have been mailing quite a few people last couple of days to say they missed out on splits - as noted above, I just let the November list too late in the day to allow time to order additional bottles in in time for Christmas (list should have gone out start November, but I just had too much on my plate) - lesson learned for next year!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,539 ✭✭✭RocketRaccoon


    Pat, have you ever considered black saffron by Byredo?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 251 ✭✭Paul Weller


    Pat, have you ever considered black saffron by Byredo?

    There was a "pulp" split last year, I'm actually wearing it tonight... I'd like gypsy water if it ever became available... but I don't think there's a huge amount of love for Byredo in here


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,575 ✭✭✭Padraig Mor


    I think Pulp is great although not for everyone.....but some of the Byredo range just leaves me scratching my head. Bal d'Afrique gets a lot of love but a sample I received was just....meh. I actually did do Gypsy Water last year. Obviously that's just personal opinion though, and mine carries no more weight thatn other's. Doesn't help that the pricing ain't cheap and - crucially - it's very rare to find Byredo at any sort of decent discount which makes the splits expensive....making them less likely to sell etc etc etc.

    Could you add me to anything about Whiskey splits also please?

    Pity I was enjoying the whiskey splits

    What do ye all recommend for the winter? Have some Tom Ford.. may suit?

    I'm currently wearing a mix (sparingly) of TF Oud Wood and TF Tuscan Leather, I think it may have been Pat that mentioned that mix way back.

    I also do the same with TF Tobacco Vanilla and TF Oud Wood as I'm not a massive fan of TV on its own.

    Both perfect for a cold day I find.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,767 ✭✭✭eljono


    I stocked up on Dolce & Gabbana The One For Men Royal Night recently. Has a warm spiciness to it, works well at this time of year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,932 ✭✭✭ActingDanClark


    My whiskey/ whiskey delivery arrived a few minutes ago- expertly packed sir!!

    Winter.....best frag season for me, so many good choices. Used to rock the Tobacco Vanille / Tuscan Leather combo but not in a while TBH. Today it's Armani Prive Myrrhe Imperiale - to me, the Prive line gets unjustly ignored - it's well up there with Tom Ford's Private Blends, but on my experience not nearly as popular. One of my absolute favourites is Lalique Fleur Universelle - can't get enough of that spicy cognac goodness!

    A lot of the Amouage line is winter appropriate too - Interlude, I'm looking at you!

    Ordered in some Xerjoff Naxos today - definitely a winter oriented frag, but will split it in February - hopefully it'll still be cold then!

    Amouage make some great winter scents. Interlude for sure. An acquired taste but I love it.
    I also recently acquired Amouage Journey Man and it’s another belter for this time of year. If you can get some in a split here, go for it.

    I don’t have any Tom Ford private line but of the TFs I do have Ombré Leather and Noir Extreme get worn this time of year. Also Beau De Jour which I have been wearing all year round.

    Mugler have a couple of great fragrances in the Amen line that really suit this time of year. Pure Malt and Pure Havane. I have both and they are brilliant value for money.
