OK folks, Oud Wood is happening - will be in touch with those who asked for it. Still.......60ml.....left I think if anyone wants to grab some - last chance for a while!
Came across a picture of this cake on Facebook the other day - guess they're Amouage fans! (Real one available from me, but I can't promise it'll taste as nice).

Oud Wood arrived today........minus about 90% of the contents.
:eek: Bloody thing had leaked - seems to have been a Tom Ford issue as well as the cellophane wrap etc was still intact.
Bit of a bad run recently as 70ml of the last flacon of Aventus ran down the back of the postman's van.......and the Ormonde Jayne Woman I have listed was sent....and never arrived (landed in Ireland and no word since......yes, it's Fastway!).
I think someone has it in for me at the moment! :pac::cool:
Anyway, have another 30ml Aventus available due to this - €50 if anyone wants it.
Note current Aventus batch is another pre-reformulation flacon - 19Y11. Get it while it's still around...... Five bottles left (plus the 30ml).
Royal Oud and Himalaya splits: dropping these due to lack of interest. Next year maybe!0 -

I was out of the office for a few days and my parcel was waiting on my desk yesterday.
It was well packaged as usual Pat
The Oud Malaki plastic bottles are cool. The fragrance smells devine.
The Smoked Oud bottle and packaging is classy. The fragrance smells great too.
I havent worn any yet as I dont think I could get away with either for office or day wear. It seems to be more of a night out wear.
Anyone else used these frags can comment 0 -

Been remiss on my updates recently! Current stuff (all to hand) listed below - feel free to post here, or drop me a PM or email.
Whiskey Bottle Shares
I posted a while back re these - basically fragrance splits, except you drink the juice! This is happening, and soon. Idea is to let people sample rare / high end whiskies without risking the cost of a full bottle. These will normally be one bottle only so supply is extremely limited - I'm already hugely oversubscribed but if you want to be included on the list, let me know ASAP - I likely won't post the bottles on here as there just won't be the availability.
Bottle sizes
Glass bottles: 10ml, 25 / 30 ml (same bottle), 50ml. NB: new batch of 10ml glass bottles I've 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!
Full payment details will be provided by PM / email - I take Revolut, bank transfer, or PayPal.
I also have the following available in hand as of 10/9/2020:
Creed - Aventus: €85 per 50ml. Pre reformulation batch 19Y11.
Tom Ford - Noir de Noir: dark and brooding. €41 for 20ml, €59 for 30ml, or €95 for 50ml. 60ml left and then it's gone forever - this one won't be coming back.
St John’s – Bay Rum: world’s best bay rum? A clove overload for the wet shavers! 120ml left at €21.50 for 20ml, €30 for 30ml, or €45 for 50ml.
Faviol Seferi - Insomnia: popular Kilian Black Phantom clone. €19 for 10ml or €37 for 20ml. Last 20ml left - if you want that in the original 50ml bottle, you can have it. Don't miss this one folks.
Profumum Roma – Acqua E Zucchero: super sweet but light. 20ml available at €27.50 for 10ml or €51.50 for 20ml. Expensive, but PR is a seriously pricey house!
Armani/Prive: Oud Royal:Top of the line oud / incense / wood from Armani’s Prive line. Very good ratings. Three 10ml (plastic) left @ €21.50 each. The Prive line is essentially equivalent to the Tom Ford Private Blend range, with prices to match so grab a bargain!
Yves Saint Laurent - M7 Oud Absolu: creamy oud and myrrh. Effortlessly classy, but subtle. 30ml left @ €13.50 for 10ml, €25.50 for 20ml, or €36 for 30ml. 30ml in original 80ml bottle if wanted. Can't go wrong with this one folks - and if it doesn't all go, I'll just use it myself!
Maison Margiela – At the Barber’s: does what it says on the tin – a classic barbershop.....but at a great price. 30ml left @ €15/10ml, €27.50/20ml or €39/30ml.
Murdock London – Black Tea: Tea and wood. Last 20ml available at €24.50. Solid price : performance ratio here.
Les Senteurs Gourmandes - Thé Absolu: Cedar, green tea and mint – light and unisex. €8 for 10ml.
Burren Perfumery - Aran / Man of Aran: unisex marine / citrus with Burren herbs. €8.50 for 10ml. Last one.
Rook - Rook: a handmade real beast from cult outfit Rook, this time incense based. Last 10ml available at €24 each. Want to be noticed? Here's the answer!
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
AMOUAGE
Jubilation XXV *in hand*
Arguably Amouage's most popular fragrance - with oud, blackberry, opoponox, myrrh, incense and assorted other luxury bits, but not as challenging as some of their output - a comparatively easy wear, but tending to the 30+ bracket. Regal - smell like a king! RRP ~€250 for 50ml.
€23.50 for 10ml, €46 for 20ml, €66.50 for 30ml, or 99.50 for 50ml. 50ml portion in original luxury 100ml bottle and box. Them's crazy prices - especially as Amouage are 'cleaning house' and actively targetting discounters currently in an effort to ensure their stuff isn't sold below RRP - fair priced Amouage splits may become a rarity....
................................................................................................................
MEMO PARIS
Shams Oud *in hand*
Highly rated oud / balsam / labdanum from pricey house Memo. Surprisingly easy wearing, and classy. RRP €185 for 75ml.
€27 for 10ml, €52 for 20ml, €65 for 25ml or €117 for 50ml. 50ml portion comes in impressive original 75ml bottle and box.
................................................................................................................
GUCCI
Intense Oud *in hand*
Niche entry from designer giant Gucci, with the scent emphasis on…..well, you know! RRP €150 for 90ml.
€20 for 10ml, €38 for 20ml, €55 for 30ml, or €82 for 50ml. 50ml portion in original 90ml bottle and box. Rather surprised this didn't sell out double quick......
................................................................................................................
BOUCHERON
Oud de Carthage *in hand*
Bit of an unknown quantity from an under appreciated house – but check those reviews! Oud, incense, wood and honey. Nothing new in a way – but done very, very well.
€16 for 10ml, €30 for 20ml, €43 for 30ml, or €78 for 75ml. 75ml portion in original 125ml bottle and box.
................................................................................................................
CHOPARD
Oud Malaki *in hand*
Lot of cult noise about this – seriously good oud, tobacco, amber and spice.
€17.50 for 10ml. Last one left.
................................................................................................................
COMME DES GARCONS
Wonderwood *in hand*
Only my second listing for cult Frenchies CdG, which is perhaps a bit surprising. Not a whole lot of oud here, but a good dash of wood, pepper, and spice - very gourmand, might stimulate the appetite!
€15.50 for 10ml, €28.50 for 20ml, €41 for 30ml, or €59.50 for 50ml. 50ml portion in completely impractical original 100ml bottle and box, as well as an apparently random bit of cloth.
................................................................................................................
DUNHILL
Arabian Desert *in hand*
From Dunhill’s top end Signature Collection, this is “an exploration through the Arabian plains, abundant with fragrant spices and floral finishes”. I wrote that myself, honest.
€16.50 for 10ml, €31.50 for 20ml, €45 for 30ml, or €67 for 50ml. 50ml portion in very nice original 100ml bottle and box.
................................................................................................................
VALENTINO
Noir Absolu: Oud Essence *in hand*
Valentino are a brand that wouldn’t normally……be on my radar so to speak. The ridiculous bottle suggests style over substance – perhaps a generic designer? Hello no! This is actually far into niche territory and may not suit all, with its pretty hardcore oud and leather – like a second cousin of Tom Ford’s Oud Wood Intense. One for the cooler weather…..
€14 for 10ml, €26 for 20ml, €36.50 for 30ml, or €49.50 for 50ml. 50ml portion in original 100ml bottle and box.
................................................................................................................
VINCE CAMUTO
Smoked Oud *in hand*
You know those days when you can’t decide whether to wear a smoky or oud fragrance (come on, we all get them!)? Well, here’s the answer to your problem. It’s got oud! It’s got smoke! It’s got other stuff (rose, incense, amber)! And it’s cheap! Win win all round really…..
€12.50 for 10ml Two left in plastic (I think).
