Hi Pat,

Going to be an absolute dose again and ask, are you likely to be doing viw at all this year maybe? Please, please, please And is there any of the spring flowers left knocking around? Hope you're keeping well.

Not a dose at all! 100% doing VIW again (if enough interest of course). Obviously things are a little up in the air at the moment but my plan is to list it in June, presuming I get a previous list dealt with by that stage. Plan to list it alongside another summer special from Creed - Erolfa. Not planning on taking names for them yet until things are a bit more clear with restrictions etc.

Spring Flower - yes, one bottle left! edit: actually, sorry it went yesterday.

Hi Padraig,

Just wondering if you’ve an updated list of what’s available (specifically looking for TF BDJ). Totally understand if you’re giving it a rest for a while in these turbulent times - stay safe!

List of what's left over from March below - I've added two leathers - Acqua di Parma Colonia Leather and Tom Ford Ombre Leather. Shipping a bit slower perhaps, but I can still send as the courier can collect from me; An Post parcels should be OK too as I have stamps here and there's a post office close by.

I don't have any BdJ at the moment - just got a bottle in Friday after waiting for a month to get here from France but that was all allocated. I'll definitely be getting more in though so feel free to ask for it - details and pricing in post linked below.

I have plenty more stuff ready to go - in fact, I bought so much I've practically no splits cash left (so much for not buying any more......)! So over the next while expect the usual Creed / Tom Ford etc plus Parfums de Marly, Miller Harris, lots of Acqua di Parma, Xerjoff, Dior, Diptyque, Simone Andreoli, Frederic Malle, Atelier Cologne, Floris - plus something I've been working on for a while, more to get so probably Autumn - Oud Overload, a big list of all the best Oud fragrances with Armani Prive, Tom Ford, Creed, YSL, Zegna, Comme des Garcons, maybe Thameen and Swedoft, and more.

I'm also looking at adding a little focus on smaller houses and things just a little different such as boutique bay rum aftershave etc.


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

Here's what I have available in hand as of 23/4/2020. More details (incl. price) on most fragrances in this post.

Creed - Aventus: €85 per 50ml. Four left, batch 19S11 (pre-reformulation).
Creed - Green Irish Tweed:five 50ml left @ €80 each.
Creed - Spring Flower: last 50ml left at a bargain €69.
Bargain Belters: two sets left (one glass, one plastic IIRC). Grab them while I still have them - these are all top notch!
Berdoues - Arz El-Rab: cedar, ginger, lemon and pepper - this is very wearable and smells a lot more upmarket than its price suggests; a little bargain. 20ml left at €12 / 22 for 10 / 20ml (20ml in original 100ml bottle if wanted).
Burren Perfumery - Man of Aran: plenty left.
Dolce & Gabbana - The One for Men Royal Night: plenty left
Senteurs Gourmandes - The Absolu: plenty left.
Tom Ford - Beau de Jour: will be getting more in.
Tom Ford - Black Orchid EdP: 30ml left. Think I have this split as 20 + 10ml.

*NEW*Acqua di Parma - Colonia Leather: AdP's Tuscan Leather contender, drier and a bit grittier. Really good, and great value on this split considering the RRP. €26 for 20ml, €37 for 30ml, or €55 for 50ml. 60ml left.
*NEW*Tom Ford - Ombre Leather: another leather from the bould Tom. Maybe a little smoother than Tuscan? Not a lot between them really - except price. €16.50 for 10ml, €30.50 for 20ml, or €44 for 30ml. 50ml left.

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

How much is the black orchid please pat

€16 for 10ml, €30.50 for 20ml. It's already split like this (have 30ml in total). Note it's the stronger Eau de Parfum version.

Pat is black orchid for men or women?

Thanks

It's unisex and there's plenty of men that wear it but for me......I think women only. Worth sampling to see if it's for you. If you're after a masculine Tom Ford you won't go wrong with Ombre Leather TBH.

Ombré Leather is great. I also like sweet/unisex fragrances but when I sampled Black Orchid it just smelled like an out and out feminine perfume.

AFAIK Black Orchid was originally released as a female perfume but so many men started wearing it they changed tack to unisex. Good an any fellow that wears it, but not one for me personally.....

Jaysis lads I might be out of business - Argos are stocking Creed Aventus!

Hi Pat I was looking yesterday for the Hombre Leather pricing but couldn't seem to find it, any chance you remember it off the top of your head?

I have one 20ml left (already bottled in plastic) at €30.50. Can be shipped by An Post.

Pat I'd be interested in 20ml of Berdoues - Arz El-Rab if it's avilable, thanks!

Crap, shipped out the last 20ml the other day!

**NEW STUFF**

I'm back in business as of next week as I'm now in a position to despatch all packages without leaving the house. Putting the final touches to the May list now and hoping to email it out to previous participants today (but that could be Tuesday!). Lots of nice new stuff with an emphasis on Spring / Summer scents. Creed, Tom Ford, Parfums de Marly, Acqua di Parma, Xerjoff, Frederic Malle, Diptyque, etc etc etc......
