FRAGRANCE SPLITS - *SEPTEMBER 2022*

Padraig Mor

Back by popular demand - Atelier Cologne Bergamote Soleil!
This bergamote / lemon scent is so realistic and juicy it'll have you sniffing yourself all day! Just read a couple of the reviews by purchasers above. Excellent longevity for a citrus fragrance. Six slots left in bottle #3 at €30 / 25ml. And here's all the rest.....



Open splits

Creed
All Creeds €62 / 50ml
No need to rush - Creeds will remain 'perma-open' and I'll keep doing them as long as people want them! i.e. when one split fills, I'll open another flacon for ordering. Note all Creeds - especially Aventus - are subject to short delays in getting stock at the supplier.

AVENTUS


The legend! No other niche fragrance has received a fraction of the attention as Creed’s pineapple / smoke concoction. If the tales are to be believed, one squirt of this will have women flocking to your bed and other men cowering before you! Can the reality match the vast hype? Of course not – but I have to say it is really nice. Long lasting too – a few squirts will do you for the whole day. So why doesn’t everyone rush to the shop to pick some up and then seduce some virgins? Because it costs so bloody much! The newly launched Aventus 50ml bottles retail at approximately €200 – but wouldn’t you rather forego the packaging and pay ~70% less instead?!

Hermes
TERRE D’HERMES PARFUM (PURE PERFUME)
€28 / 25ml
This is one of THE best mass market designer men’s fragrances. If I had to have only one bottle of fragrance, it would be this. Why? It’s suitable for every occasion but still smells classy. The scent itself opens with a kind of grapefruit blast before settling down to a long lasting woody smell. A commentator I saw somewhere online put it best – this smells very ‘professional’ (even though I couldn’t really define what makes a fragrance smell professional!). I hummed and hawed about splitting this as it’s widely available but in the end decided to go with the highest concentration available – Parfum (AKA pure perfume – much stronger than the Eau de Toilette concentration this mostly sells in) so go easy on that trigger.

Atelier Cologne
I've been working my way through the large number of offerings from Atelier Cologne so you don't have to! Many of their colognes are in a similar vein - light, fresh - but not all. These are some of the best (IMO):


BERGAMOTE SOLEIL - €30 / 25ml

Awesomely juicy lemon / bergamote fragrance - mouth watering yet long lasting!

POIVRE ELECTRIQUE - €43 / 25ml

I got a sample of this and was blown away. Very unlike most of their range, this is much 'darker' and more a nighttime fragrance with a blast of pepper and a long release of incense and wood. I get quite a Creed Spice and Wood vibe from it.

Done.

One slot left now in Aventus flacon #8; same in Hermes #7.
Both of these bottles are in hand, but I'm estimating shipping after my holidays so late July - however, I could possibly get them out next week too if things go well.

Kingchip

I'll take the last Hermes as well. If you can send it out with the Aventus. Just let me know the payment details, thanks very much.

No problem - can send up to about 4 or 5 bottles together. Payment requests out soon.

Rocko

Hi, put me down for Creed Aventus to fill slot 10??
I can pick up in Cork.

Robson99

Padraig
Avenues Creed and Hermes arrived safe and sound today and both exactly as described. Looking forward to doing business again in the near future. Many thanks

quadrifoglio verde

Received a box of goodies today. Cheers man, packaging is superb once again.

I know it's personal tastes bit how many sprays of Terre d'Hermes should one use as an everyday scent?

Have creed on one hand and TdH on the other and certainly the TdH is much stronger. The longer the TdH is on the nicer it gets imo

My technique; one spray, closely into a cupped hand, hands together, onto wrists, behind ears,
then anywhere you like!

Apparently you're not supposed to rub it into your skin as the friction causes the molecules to break down which makes the fragrance fade quicker.

Sure - I like collections, much easier than packing stuff up! Met jackrussel from here earlier today - great guy! ETA for collection later this week hopefully.

Passenger wrote: »

Have heard that several times but reckon it's bollocks - breaking molecules by rubbing? Nah I reckon! Number of sprays is a personal thing but made much more complicated by the fact that it's easier for other people to smell your cologne than you yourself due to olfactory fatigue! I do tend towards 'go big or go home' though...

LesIsMore

Took delivery of my splits yesterday , and as has been said previously , the packaging , bottles , atomisers and labels are first class. The time taken and attention to detail is obvious , thank you Sir.

Mitch Buchannon

Got my delivery this morning. Like the first one I got, everything was top class. Thanks for all your hard work P.

Padraig Mor

Cheers guys. Another big whack of them being delivered today, and that's most of the big orders done. Splitting Aventus #7 and #8 and GIT #4 tonight hopefully. GIT and Aventus #7 due to courier Monday. If I can get the Aventus #8 orders packed before Wednesday they'll go out too - same story with Millesime Imperial and Atelier Bergamote #2, although I'm not expecting to receive them until Monday maybe.

Trying to sort Tom Ford pricing now......

keane2097

Got mine as well, thanks Padraig.

Haven't had a chance to open it yet and am expecting to be disappointed at this stage with the level of praise that has been given for the packaging!

jpb1974

The son just called and my latest bundle of goodies was just delivered to the house, looking forward to giving them all a sniff later.

Thanks Pat - excellent as always amigo!

supue

Hi Pat,

Could you put me down for the Bergamote Soleil if there's still a place and you haven't shipped my latest order? Could I merge them all up into the one if possible and send on the incremental payment?

GIT has become my bottle of choice - from smelling in BT over the years, I never preferred it over the Aventus, however after wearing for a few days it's now firmly my new No 1.

Cheers

Erik Shin

I kinda want to add another bottle of something to my delivery

Will put you down for that but it's onto the next bottle now which could be a while completing. The GIT is definitely great for the office.

No problem if you want to! Just decide reasonably quickly - I begin packing boxes for next week's deliveries (yours included) tomorrow!

Can I have a bergamote Pat

I can put you down for it. That would leave 4 of the 8 slots free - when these fill I would then order and split etc (in practice, I might do this after 6 or 7 slots fill). However, there's no guarantee either that the split would complete quickly, if at all - I just don't know in advance! With the big Creeds I can order ahead to a certain extent - they'll sell eventually anyway; it's not as clear cut with other brands though.



Anyone else fancy some top class citrus at €30 for 25ml?

What have you got that you could ship straight away with my order.....im like a child at Xmas!

Padraig Mor

Erik Shin wrote: »

Hehe. Nothing believe it or not! Really the only ones I've carried 'in stock' are the Aventus and GIT, maybe Hermes, and I won't even do that too much more as I'd say sales of them will slow down now that lots of people have bought them. This is normal with fragrance splits BTW - buyers pay and then splitter buys and decants - just too much risk in buying stuff in advance and then being stuck with it!

Expecting to start selling Tom Ford Private Blends soon (next few weeks) for delivery from early August if you want to wait. Also Acqua di Parma, Montale, Mancera. Same rules, although I expect the TF big hitters to sell well - and I have one or two interesting offers as well.

I definitely want in on tobacco vanille and oud Wood...will hang tough for those

JayReale

Hi Pat, Just a quick note to let you know my package (Royal Oud, Interlude & Aventus) all arrived safe and sound yesterday. I actually only had a chance to open the Interlude so far and I'm really liking it. As you hinted at yourself, it's seriously powerful stuff... a little goes a LONG way! As others have said, packaging, presentation and delivery was absolutely first class.... thanks again for all of your hard work!

All the Amouage stuff is seriously high quality - and reasonable value too as they're well known as very powerful scents.

Cheers.
3 slots left on Atelier Bergamote #3 folks - let's get this juicy juice over the line! Ideal as a 'present' for your ladyfriend (which you can sneakily use yourself as well).
