FRAGRANCE SPLITS - *SEPTEMBER 2022*

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.


Shipping
Courier: €12.50 for up to 5 or 6 bottles depending on size. This option must be used for glass bottles.
An Post: €4.50 - only available for plastic bottles (10 / 20ml). Max seven 10ml or three 20ml bottles. Not tracked or insured!

CREED


Millesime Imperial *coming soon*
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. Three bottles available - grab them while you still can!

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


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. Last 20ml left.


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



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.


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


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. Great feedback on this one.
€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. 25ml left.


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

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.

How do I sign up?
Post below asking for the particular split/s you want and I’ll add you to the list in the OP – hold off on copying the list and adding yourself as it could get messy very quickly.

I bought some stuff from you - I want you to be nice to me in future!
No problem - prior purchasers get advanced notice of new splits, and the opportunity to put their name on the list before it opens to all. [/size]

Just so folks know as well, there's currently huge delays in intra-EU shipments (I'm sure you can guess why) which is making it difficult for me to give shipping estimates other than 'a lot longer than normal'. e.g. most of my Creed (and a lot of other stuff) comes from France and packages are taking minimum three weeks (sometimes a whole month) from ordering to me receiving them. Until recently, this was a week! Frustrating I know but not really much I can do except wait!

Anyway, it's pissing rain outside so I can't go for a run, I'm actually not bloody working or doing assignments for a change, so I reckon I'm going to buy some fragrances!

Any update on the whisky situation?

We'll see! Will separate it out from this thread if it goes ahead. Keep an eye on my emails!

Just had a drop of my bottle of Hibiki 17 that I drop into occasionally tonight, in honour of finishing a course!

I will take the vetiver insolent for herself if it is still going pat

Make sure you give it a try yourself too - it ain't 'girly'! If you one you doesn't like it, chances are the other will.

Thread subscribed. Will you be getting Tom Ford Soleil Blanc or Creed Virgin Island soon?

Good timing Baron! Yes, I'm planning to list both of these in my next batch of (summer oriented) juice. I've already mentioned the VIW a couple of times, but will be adding the Soleil too. Both subject to enough interest of course - it'd be 500ml of VIW and 250ml of Soleil.

I had actually planned to email out the new list (which is 99% ready) this weekend but I have a big backlog of stuff to ship out due to massive delays on stuff coming from Europe to me......so I reckon I might wait another couple of weeks and just do a June / July list. As well as those two, expect more Creed....and MORE Creed, Floris, Murdock, Geo F Trumper (maybe), Jeremy Fragrance (yes, I buckled!), Bond No. 9....and the "world's best" bay rum aftershave.....

Bond No 9 wouldn't happen to be Greenwich Village would it Pat??

It wouldn't! It's Scent of Peace for him.

Pat!!!
R.I.P.

You drop it or did it come apart or something?

Panda Killa wrote: »

Not your fault Pat!

I dropped it... disgusted with myself

I'm actually amazed I've never had a major 'accident' myself. Couple of bottles tipped over a a bit spilled but that's about it. Have dropped a couple of the cube 50ml bottles but they're bulletproof - one or two got chipped, that's about it.

Running low on Rasputin, I have to save it now for special occasions. One hell of a scent

You might have to replace it with its apparent inspiration Clive Christian X - that'd be for VERY special occasions though given the price!

Hey Pat, are you doing these frags? They're not on the first page.

New list went out by email a couple of days ago. I don't have your email though dude! It'll be going on Boards once images coded etc.

Lashed on some TF oud wood going to work on Tuesday. I can now honestly say that this fragrance belongs in my 'impact sub' section as within 15 minutes of arriving to work I'd been complimented twice. Although longevity is a bit of an issue this is a definite compliment beast for the first 2 hours of wear.

I personally don't like Oud Wood that much, but I know I'm very much in a minority on that - just my nose I guess.....

I'll be doing an 'oud special' of sorts in autumn actually. Have six or seven bottles already, including some nice stuff. Out of sheer bloody mindedness I mightn't actually include Oud Wood but we'll see. Got a sample of DS & Durga Notorious Oud today and gave it a spray - NOW I know what 'barnyard' oud smells like.....**** me, the opening was horsey alright! Few new releases from rising stars Swedoft this week as well, including the promising sounding 'X Oud' - although our Swedish friends seem to have caught the virus of rising prices.....

Something is definitely fishy going on with An Post

Yeah, I was talking to an (Irish) colleague in Austria last week and she said that the Austrian postal service had only just restarted taking post destined for Ireland, having suspended it for most of the Covid crisis due to the delays and 'missing in action' parcels. Have noticed a number of AliExpress sellers now not sending to Ireland either that had previously.

Got most of me stuff today anyway - one parcel still in Dublin for some reason.....

Get your stuff sent in Amazon packaging. It'll fly through then.

Amazon Prime has been a disaster recently - routinely two weeks delivery - for Paddies only though!
