Oud Wood or Tuscan Leather, which is nicer for an ould cold autumnal evening?

Don't ask Pat about Oud Wood! He'll puke on his keyboard!

I think it's awesome (41 year old who's served his biological purpose).
Young handsome chap sitting next to me in work (25 year old with his whole life ahead of him) thinks it's "savage".

Which is why I've ordered 2 more splits.

Actually Pat, the same chap really liked the Monotheme Leather too. Story with that? Any more? Is the Tuscan Leather similar/better?

Frankie5Angels

Right so. Pat, if I was to request to join the Oud Wood split, would it be good to go whenever you get the Viking? (this assuming my Aventus and Spice and Wood are also good to go? I don't even know what I've ordered any more!:o ). If so, I'd be interested in 50ml.

.....what Soarer said: I don't like Oud Wood - I think it smells like celery! Given that I doubt TF spent millions developing a frag that smells like celery, we can take it my nose is just a bit off when it comes to oud, especially as I ain't gone on Creed Royal Oud either (but I do like YSL M7 Oud Absolu so go figure......).

The next Oud Wood split - if it happens - will be collected by me at a duty free abroad on 8th October so splits shortly after that (probably from 10th). So not too long after Viking.

Monotheme Leather: all gone (except for my own stash). Tuscan starts similar but is less linear and more aggressive - longer lasting too. It's not necessarily an 'easy' wear but I'd definitely characterise it as alpha male. Should be available to sample in BT. I can give yiz a sniff too.



Oh, and Creed Viking ordered mother****ers! According to Creed London, I got the first - and only - two 500ml flacons to be released today in the UK - put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Frankie5Angels

I'll try Oud Wood over the weekend - haven't tried it in ages - be back to you if it's, like, totes amazeballs :pac: otherwise, nah, shag it, I want the Creeds asap

Padraig you're Some Man for one man!

Pat, what's the story with the Viking? Are all the slots taken?

Edit.. Just saw I missed the boat when I was off getting married, typical . If there are any reserve spots could you put me in?

No bother; won't affect it - they're arriving tomorrow or Monday.

Sound, I'll send the funds now.

The woman thinks I'm having affairs with all these fine smelling deliveries. Not that I have the time nor the money! Good job on the labels man, looks the biz.

Hi Pat,

can you start another order for me with 25ml Oud Wood please, provided it goes ahead. I'll add to the order as I see what becomes available in your stock over the next few weeks.

Also, if there is any possibility of starting another set of splits of Monotheme Leather EDP I'd like to put a shout in for 50ml - fantastic stuff (thanks for that recommendation).

Put you down, but there's already a couple on the reserve list! If the interest is there, I'm sure I can get another flacon shortly, but splits would be slightly more expensive at €85 due to no savings on combined shipping. Worth noting as well that I do hope / expect to offer it cheaper when it becomes available outside of Creed directly, but you're looking at a couple of months I'd say, if not after Christmas.

Yeah, labels improved since your early splits! Between high end bottles and nice labels, the aim is to give you guys something you can happily display on your shelf and which could pass as a retail bottle to those unfamiliar with the brands. I could drop the price by using cheap, coloured, medicine bottles and hand written labels, but that's not how I roll.....

Oud Wood looking like it may happen at this stage.....will keep you posted.

Yeah I like the Monotheme but longevity could be better. Still, it's cheap..... I'll see if I can pick some up in a few weeks.

Padraig Mor

Just to keep everyone updated re completed splits etc!

Aventus: really finding it hard to pick this up quickly ATM. Last completed split was ordered by me about two weeks ago but hasn't shipped yet - I doubt I'll receive this before 4th/5th October at the earliest so guesstimating splits will ship from week beginning 9th October (but perhaps later). The currently open split was ordered a few days ago - TBH I wouldn't be surprised if the two ended up shipping together to me.

Spice & Wood: I ordered the completed S&W split together with the first Aventus mentioned above - while it's in stock, the lack of Aventus availability is preventing it shipping to me, so same timeline as above. There is another split currently open but I won't be ordering this until it finishes or very close.

Viking: ordered and expected to ship to me Monday; should have it end of the week for split delivery from 2nd October.

Jubilation XXV and Diptyque: got both Friday; hoping to split today if I get a chance and deliveries this week (there's only a small number of shipments waiting for these).

Eau Sacree: on the way to me; expect to receive it Monday or Tuesday for split delivery beginning 2nd October most likely (me no likey shipping after Wednesday in case packs get stuck with courier over weekend).

Comme des Garcons 2 Man: not ordered, need more peeps!

Atelier Santal Carmin: gonna drop this I'd say, as the distributor have done just that!

Tom Ford Oud Wood and Tuscan Leather: not enough signups yet to go ahead (but getting there...); if they fill up I'll collect them in the duty free when flying 8th October.

All detailed in the OP here! (Note most stuff is not held in stock - you pay in advance and I then do the work). Aventus is €62 / 50ml (it's €195 in BT for the same volume!), plus courier shipping of €12.50 (covers 4 - 6 bottles depending on size).

Sure. I'm correct in just having you down for the next Oud Wood split (if it goes ahead), yeah?

Padraig Mor

Aventus and Spice & Wood on the way to me! Should have them next Monday I'd say (which means I will have some Aventus available from stock) - guesstimating splits delivery from Oct 9th, maybe from 4th if I'm quick off the mark (lots of orders waiting for these).

Vic Ferrari

I'll take 25ml Oud Wood and 2 atomisers,
Thanks Pat.

Sorry for the hassle Pat, but could I please ask if you could send out my split whenever you have the already ordered items ready to send - I'll put the Tom Ford (if it goes ahead) as the first item in my next order.

Remarkable bit of work you're doing - much appreciated

rafatoni

Hey Pat,

I will take some of the tom form oud wood split. 25ml.

Just let me know how much on PM and your details.

Cheers

Yes please, though I expect I will have it on hold until I add to the order and complete. I will sort out the payment on your request and then most likely see what else takes my fancy as more stock becomes available.

OMG!OMG! It almost feels like chrimbo, and you're the big (amazing) smelly red suit man..

Have the Vikings arrived yet? Obv Soarer can lend you his hat for the occasion, if he's not too busy mainlining the juice :pac:

I can't.

I need my hat for donations, now that I'm down to one kidney and one lung.

Need to get it complete yet but looking very positive for this now. WIll update you if / when it goes ahead.

Irish Wolf wrote: »

No - don't worry there'll be a pic of the momentous occasion when I get it! Supposed to ship to me yesterday but heard nothing from Creed...... I'm still presuming I'll have them by the end of the week.

No hassle at all. I have everything ready except the TF Oud Wood; just need to pop you a payment request for the 5ml atomisers which came in. Just to note that it'll be Monday realistically before I get to the courier again and, presuming the Oud Wood goes ahead, it'll just be an extra week to wait to get that too - up to you, I'll go ahead with shipping the current lot unless you tell me otherwise.

Thanks Pat,
Yes, please go ahead and ship when possible, without the Oud Wood.
I'll send through payment for the atomisers just now.
