Interested in creed aventus, please pm the process thanks

Will PM you payment details, but not put you down for a slot until you confirm. Current (in hand) bottle all gone so waiting for new stock - it's ordered, but may be a couple of weeks.

Down to 50ml left on the Tuscan Leather so I'm going to order it for collection on Sunday. I don't see this one being repeated for a good while so dive in for the last 1 or 2 slots while they're still going!

Hey Pat, new to all this can you put me down for 25ml Tuscan leather? I'll hold off on delivery until the aventus comes in again as I'll get a slot on that too...
Pm me the details please and thanks!

Cool, have out you down for next Aventus as well. Will bill you for both shortly. ETA for Aventus splits late October-ish.

All gone I'm afraid! I'll put you down as a reserve.

Might be a slight delay on shipping the Tom Fords folks - I'm moving office ATM and my labels are in a moving box so can't get at them! Should hopefully be sorted tomorrow or early next week (I'm away Friday).

They're like busses Pat!

@justback83. Basic maths in the 3 posts above yours would suggest you're too late to the party.

Any Eau Sacree splits remaining? If you could hold off on shipping as I'm sure something else will tickle my fancy.

Just want to add a few words after receiving my first package from Pat today. Even with all the praise that has been thrown his way about the packaging, it still managed to exceed my expectations, it really is first class. 

In terms of the actual fragrances, I've only given a few a sample. Aventus really is class, and the Dior mini's are all lovely. Actually, the Spice and Wood sample that you threw in is fantastic too. Might need to look into that soon! :-)

The service from Pat is brilliant, I managed to miss my delivery yesterday and Pat contacted me last night to make sure everything was ok (it was fine, I'd spoken to courier and asked them to return package to Depot).

Threw on Arabian Wood again while ago, and it's a lovely fragrance.

Very gentlemanly, but not in a barbershop fragrance way.
I'm rubbish at descriptions, but it's kinda spicy but not in the burn your nose hairs sort of way. Like a classy middle-eastern hotel when you walk into the foyer. Just a lovely, ambient fragrance. Doesn't remind me of anything else, not that I've a lot of experience.
Haven't a clue as to "versatility", but I'd see no problem wearing it in the colder months. And if it was originally done for an Arabian Sheikh, I can only assume it'd work equally well in our roasting summers!
It'd be for 30 and over I'd say, or a slightly younger fella that's set in his ways.

Received a huge order from Pat last week, once again, immaculately packed and an incredible service as always. He threw in a few samples as well including Creed White Amber - loved it! Checked out the price online though, phew not cheap! Would love if you managed to pull together a split.

Creed Bois du Portugal.

Damn, I vowed that was the last of my buys for a while, then I saw this!!

Sure. Arabian at hand; Aventus ordered - rough ETA for splits late October.

Soarer

You're starting right at the very top with those two flanno.

Well, until you get your hands on Oud Wood, Green Irish Tweed, Royal Oud, Jubilation XXV......

It's a very slippery slope!

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

So, what happens?
If there is sufficient interest, I will buy a large bottles of normally very expensive fragrances and split them into smaller portions and send to those who sign up.

What’s the story with pricing and payment?
Price for each fragrance is listed in its section – all prices are far lower than the comparable cost of buying a small bottle at retail, or give the opportunity to try something hard to find without risking the price of a full bottle. Full payment must be paid in advance – I can’t take the risk of being stuck with an enormous bottle of fragrance costing several hundred! Payment via Paypal or direct bank transfer.
All split prices should be taken as provisional – until I order the juice I do not know if or when the cost from my suppliers will change. In other words, get your name down fast if interested! Some splits may be especially time limited due to a specific offer etc – I’ll note this where relevant.

What’s the story with shipping?
By courier, additional to purchase price. Ireland / UK only. Shipping in Ireland is €12.50 for up to 4 bottles. Collection in Cork (free) is welcomed and encouraged.
I cannot accept liability for packages once I leave them with the courier but will assist in the unlikely event of a claim. I don’t expect this to happen though – see reports from this thread of how well the bottles are protected!
If you buy a split and pay for shipping now, I will 'pause' your package to combine shipping with future splits if you wish

What will I get?
Your selected fragrance in a high quality glass bottle with atomiser spray and label – either for a lot less than it normally costs or for a price which risks a lot less than buying a full bottle - or both.

What’s the timelines?
If all places for a particular split are taken, I will ask for payment from everyone. When everyone has paid I will order the fragrance, bottles, atomisers, packaging, etc. I may occasionally delay ordering for one split if another is near closing so as to combine on shipping etc. Splits will be done and posted ASAP after I get all the supplies but do bear in mind that I have a full time job and two small kids so time is sometimes scarce!
NB for Creed Aventus splits: stock of the large flacons is relatively scarce and suppliers frequently run out – there may be a delay while they restock. I’ll keep everyone posted if this occurs.

What happens if not enough people sign up to a particular split?
Nothing! I collect no money and buy no juice.

What happens if someone signs up and doesn’t pay?
They ruin it for everyone as I won’t buy until everyone has paid. Non payers will be excluded from future splits. In the event of sufficient interest in a split, I will run a ‘reserve’ list. Popular splits will be repeated.

Do I have to buy them all?
No, you can buy as few or as many as you want. PM me if you want to buy more than two of a particular split.

Batch variations etc
I have no control over which batch of a particular fragrance I will receive so can’t make any guarantees. Personally, I think the whole issue is wildly overblown on certain forums…..

I bought a fragrance but I didn't like it
Tastes differ in everything, and fragrance is no different! I'll always note where I know a scent is 'controversial'. Unfortunately there's an element of 'pot luck' in blind buying fragrances - for Creeds at least, it's worth trying Brown Thomas as they have testers in stock. Regretfully, I cannot take returns or allow people buy / sell / trade their splits on this thread.

I’ve got another query
Just ask below.

How do I sign up?
Post below asking for the particular split/s you want and I’ll add you to the list in the OP – hold off on copying the list and adding yourself as it could get messy very quickly.

I bought some stuff from you - I want you to be nice to me in future!
No problem - prior purchasers get advanced notice of new splits, and the opportunity to put their name on the list before it opens to all.

I know, I had just splurged on loads of other stuff though, my bank account couldn't handle it at the time!

As above, full details in first post on this thread but the TLDR is:
You give me money, I then go off and buy big bottles of expensive fragrance and put into smaller bottles which I send to you, at a significant cost saving.
This can vary a bit - I'll pick up some stuff on spec if I can get it cheap, and I'll often have Aventus on the way anyway as it sells so well.

Just to note as well: (courier) shipping is €12.50 on top of split price but this covers up to 5/6ish bottles (depending on size).

I've ordered another bottle of Aventus which I *expect* to have within the next two weeks (but can't be 100% on that - up to the supplier!).


ipnface: I'll PM you a payment request.
