No problem. PMed.

Just had an email and Creed have confirmed that they are raising their prices with effect from August 1st. I've only got Aventus pricing so far, but expect a rise of ~€5 on a 50ml split. Currently I have ~6 bottles available at the 'old' price from a flacon which arrived yesterday.

Speaking of Creed........I've got 25ml of Pure White Cologne available. This is from their range topping Royales Exclusives line (which includes Spice & Wood etc) which retails at a heart stopping ~€385 / 75ml. PWC is a superb citrus / pear freshie, ideal for hot weather and totally unisex. Rates at 4.5/5 on Fragrantica. Price is €79.50 for the 25ml, or €34 for 10ml. I doubt I'll ever have this again so time to jump in if you fancy it. Delivery: it depends on when I receive it myself (it's en route) but I'm off on holidays Sunday week so it may be August before I get it out - presume that will be the case, but I will get it out next week if I can.

chillinpenguin · 12-07-2019 6:43pm

Can I have a bottle of Adventus please

septictank · 13-07-2019 4:21am

Hi Pat,

Can I get 1 Creed Aventus and could you pm me the payment details please.

Thanks.

Looking forward to this one arriving!

Padraig, if you have 10ml of Pure White Cologne left, I'd be quite interested in taking it off your hands please.

Thanks!

Hi Padraig,

I’ll take that 10ml if still there and can I get a 50ml Creed Aventus also if available.

Thanks!

Padraig Mor · 15-07-2019 3:39pm

Folks, I'm considering dropping 25/30ml splits in glass bottles in favour of 20ml splits in plastic bottles, as well as moving 10ml splits to plastic only. This has the advantage of making 20ml splits available via An Post (and they'll be proportionally a bit cheaper as the bottles cost less) - and the obvious disadvantage that 50ml would be the only split size available in glass. Any comments or opinions on this (either way - there is no correct answer!) are welcome here or by email / PM.

baby and crumble · 15-07-2019 5:01pm

My only comments on that would be 2 issues with the 10ml plastic bottles I've experienced;

1) The labels don't stick very well on the plastic (it might be the texture), so I tend to sellotape them on extra when I get them. Makes them not look as nice!

2) The long thin 10ml plastic bottles are a pain to store on shelves in a nice way... I have a bunch standing up in a mug in my bathroom, and I really love the square bottles that can actually stand properly.

That's all PURELY on aesthetics, so not a big deal but just my 2c.

Question: Will the 20ml plastic bottles be same diameter as the 10ml but twice the height? Just askin cos I'm not very tall.

And the 10ml are horrible to store, they're like Kerry footballers- just constantly throwing themselves to the ground:eek: The spray is a little strong as well on the plastic bottles - the glass bottle ones are better balanced for controlling the spray amount.

Cheers guys!

Yeah, the 10ml square bottles were handy for storage - but were very expensive! Changing to the current 10ml type knocked €3 off every split believe it or not!

Labels coming off - I'm aware of it. It's not the texture, it's the curvature of the bottle as it happens with the glass 10ml as well. I had hoped that having the bottles wrapped in Parafilm for days / weeks would make the label stay on but I guess not - will have to tape them I guess although I agree it's not as 'nice'. Ultimate fix is to change to different labels but I have a good lot of the current ones left.

20ml plastic would be slightly taller but a bit wider too (these will be coming regardless of any other volumes - they're ordered). I know that the plastic 10ml don't stand very well but in some ways I think that's almost better as you know it ain't going to work - whereas the glass 10ml look like they'll stand up but still fall over at the slightest provocation!I have seen people on other fora with a lot of similar plastic bottles use plastic racks in a drawer or similar - I'd imagine you'd find similar in Argos / Amazon. Plastic bottles definitely have a serious sprayer - go easy with them!

From my perspective, the best thing about those plastic bottles is their consistency - they're always spot on and are very easy to work with. Glass 10ml I find vary from batch to batch, even from the same supplier - I find I have to toss out 5 - 10% of them because they're dirty or the sprayer isn't sitting properly.

Thanks for the feedback, appreciated.

septictank · 17-07-2019 9:06am

Thanks a lot Pat, mine arrived this morning.

Good packaging, took me a few minutes to undo, added to the suspense.

Really nice, had to pump the sprayer 4/5 times, then got a full wollop, one is plenty for normal wear.

I'd be happy with the 20ml plastic, don't see why not.

The 10ml are the same height as an iphone x as a guide.

cheers.

Mc Love · 18-07-2019 3:35pm

Oh that is nice...Pure White Cologne (Creed). Great packaging too Pat, was half expecting more considering the box was so big but the bottle is here in one piece, I think I am going to enjoy wearing this $995 fragrance

Hi Pat, Interested in getting another Creed Aventus off you, and one other ?. What else have you in hand at the mo ?. Thanks.

jim o doom · 18-07-2019 5:26pm

Just a quick post to say another package received from Pat, everything perfectly and carefully wrapped. Thanks Pat, absolute legend.. I feel like the box could have fallen off a cliff and the contents would still be ok!

Just received another $995 one from Creed's Royale Exclusives line yesterday - nice one for autumn!

Yeah, box is big for the single bottle alright but it's the smaller of two sizes I keep to hand.

Good for the Aventus. I actually won't be shipping anything more until August as I'm off for two weeks from Sunday (probably should have said that here earlier actually). I'll clear out whatever bits remain from the summer list (may just be the Musc Imperial, can't recall offhand) and a few odds and ends before sending out a new Autumn list mid August. I actually have a serious amount of stuff here already and have no doubt in saying the latter half of the year (and into Spring) will have the best line up I've ever done, with something for every budget - some old friends will be there, alongside some new heavy hitters and some future classics. Expect to see some great juice from:
Amouage
Aramis
Atkinsons
Berdoues
Cartier
Creed
Etat Libre d'Orange
Issey Miyake
Maison Francis Kurkdjian
Mancera
Memo Paris
Miller Harris
Montale
Parfums de Marly
Parfums MDCI
Penhaglion's
Senteurs Gourmandes
Serge Lutens
Tiziana Terenzi
Tom Ford
Yves Saint Laurent.

Yip, bit of Clive Christian! (which I realise isn't on the list - whoops).

I have a general eye open for a good deal on them but haven't really come across one TBH.

Got my splits yesterday Pat, packaged with care and delighted with them - thanks a mill!
