    Grand I only saw the 100ml and halfed it

    My overall point stands

    Better savings from you so :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,370 ✭✭✭Skuxx


    Guys, re Aventus: I'm having trouble getting supplies consistently (currently waiting for 2 litres of it!). What's people's views on my sourcing from different suppliers with better stock, but at a higher price (splits would be €70)?

    No issue from me anyway!


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,879 ✭✭✭Soarer


    I'm already stocked up with Aventus, but I'd have had no problem paying €70 for a split.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,643 ✭✭✭Luckycharms_74


    no problem here :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,580 ✭✭✭Testament1


    Throw me down for an Aventus and Spice & Wood if you get stock in again cheers.

    Down for Aventus. I was going to drop S&W, but will be aiming to do another split with the lineup refresh next week.

    Have you down for those; first on each list so may be a while filling. Labels: if you want to add an extra rear label with a message to someone etc - no problem! Available on any split, but probably more likely on female frags.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,558 ✭✭✭Padraig Mor


    A few new Autumn scents to be listed Monday!

    no problem paying €70 for aventus pat


  • Registered Users Posts: 58 ✭✭Bada Bing Boy


    No issue with paying €70 for aventus Pat.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,558 ✭✭✭Padraig Mor


    Just to clear up any confusion: any Aventus price increase (if it happens) will not apply to any currently ordered splits, or the next few orders anyway.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,037 ✭✭✭KrustyUCC


    Another Aventus please Pat


  • Registered Users Posts: 546 ✭✭✭gerfmurphy


    Aventus for me too please
    If available 10ml of comme De garcons also


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,558 ✭✭✭Padraig Mor

    No problem re Aventus. CdG still available but not sure if we'll get enough people to go ahead......anyone else interested?


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,558 ✭✭✭Padraig Mor


    Aventus for Her, Acier Aluminium and recent Spice and Wood splits: I'm scheduled to receive these tomorrow from the courier but I suspect the weather will prevent this! Delivery of orders awaiting these splits likely to be next week therefore (as scheduled). I'm right in the path of storm here (Cork harbour) so may well lose power / internet for a period....will catch up on any orders / emails etc when things are up and running again!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19 Vic Ferrari


    I'll take 10ml CdG please Pat, stay safe!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,721 ✭✭✭Erik Shin


    Yeah Pat...stay safe...I need my smells! :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,643 ✭✭✭Luckycharms_74


    Stay safe Pat :)
    Can't wait to receive my frags next week :)

    Worst of that over thankfully. As expected, no delivery today so those splits should go out next week. And now for some new stuff.......


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,558 ✭✭✭Padraig Mor


    Slots and volumes currently remaining as of 16/10/17 - individual details further down this post.

    Ordered - stock on the way:
    Creed - Aventus - four 50ml slots left.


    Add 5ml glass atomisers (screwtop) bottles to any order for €2 each - bring your juice with you!

    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


    Autumn fragrances - the sequel!
    A hand picked selection of scents, all identified as ideal for Autumn wear by multiple reviewers. Warm, spicy fragrances to cheer you up on a crisp morning!



    Creed - Viking
    375x500.41698.jpg
    Available from cheaper suppliers quicker than expected!
    Creed's follow up to their massive Aventus hit isn't as smack-you-in-the-face original but is arguably more versatile and is suitable for pretty much every occasion; it's also good for Autumn. A classic, spicy, cologne, this is perhaps aimed at a slightly more mature audience than Aventus.

    €72 / 50ml 8 slots remaining on current split. RRP €205.

    .....................................................................................................................................

    Creed - Royal Oud
    375x500.12317.jpg
    One of Creed's most popular fragrances, it's nominally unisex, but more likely to be worn by a man.

    €63.50 / 50ml 5 slots remaining on current split. RRP €242 / 75ml.

    .....................................................................................................................................

    Creed - Royal Princess Oud
    61FE6weKXPL._SY355_.jpg
    "This fragrance features the signature note of Oud, a historical ingredient expensive and rare, perfectly fitting for a captivating fragrance. From high tea to grand balls, this seductive scent is like a modern day little red dress. Royal Princess Oud is perfect for the woman with a passion for life."

    €48 / 25ml or €82 / 50ml 100ml remaining to allocate on current split. RRP approx €255 / 75ml.
    .....................................................................................................................................


    Le Labo - Santal 33
    santal-33-unisex-le-labo-sample-decants-scentsplit.jpg?v=1502245541
    A huge niche fragrance hit, this is apparently one of the most popular fragrances among the cool set in New York. I've seen this sandalwood / leather scent described as 'strongly masculine' but women seem to enjoy wearing it too - sounds pretty unisex to me! Pricy though, have we got enough interest?

    €108.50 / 50ml 9 slots remaining on current split. RRP €148.

    .....................................................................................................................................

    Amouage - Memoir
    10073_5868f65f6124446270e0b2ffc8d9a289.jpg
    The opening divides opinions but, being Amouage, there is no doubt this tobacco / wood / mint / green fragrance is ultra high quality.

    €26 / 10ml, €57 / 25ml, or €95 / 50ml 50ml split keeps the gorgeous original packaging. 10ml left to allocate on current split, with another split likely (50ml gone on both...and a third if it happens!). RRP €235 / 50ml.

    .....................................................................................................................................


    Serge Lutens - Un Bois Vanille
    1223454_none_main.png
    This smells really like creme brulee - and who doesn't like that?! Retail €105 / 50ml.

    €23.50 / 10ml, €50 / 25ml, or €82 / 50ml.. 50ml split keeps the original packaging. 60ml remaining on current split.

    .....................................................................................................................................

    Histoire de Parfums - Ambre 114
    ambre-114-large-size.jpeg
    A really special fragrance - echoes of Amouage's Interlude with its dense, herby scent, albeit lighter than the Amouage.

    €24 / 10ml, €58 / 30ml, or €97.50 / 60ml. (NB split sizes larger than standard). 60ml split keeps the original packaging. 90ml remaining on current split.

    Other splits

    Creed


    AVENTUS
    nd.9828.jpg

    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?!

    €62 / 50ml. Ordered, awaiting stock. ETA November.
    4 slots left.



    Aventus 100ml retail bottles (original, boxed) also available at €189.50. Brown Thomas price: €264.50.


    .......................................................................................................................................

    GREEN IRISH TWEED
    cregitm_aedp20-01__7.jpg

    ETA November. €70/50ml. Have changed to 250ml splits to avoid extended waits to receive juice.
    4 slots left.

    .....................................................................................................................................

    Spice and Wood
    412oLWsxeoL._SY355_.jpg
    Was going to drop this for a while but a few people asked for it... Part of Creed's top of the line Royale Exclusives range (250ml bottles of this retail for $1000 in the US!), this is a stunning fragrance - rich and warm but not loud; it's surprisingly versatile as its projection is kept in check.

    €72 / 25ml or €130 / 50ml. 150ml remaining to allocate.


    .......................................................................................................................................

    AVENTUS FOR HER
    894_107e7a8456cccbbe611046519c84b35b.png

    It's Aventus......but for women! Which of course means they charge more! RRP €230 / 75ml.

    €75/50ml.
    9 slots left.


    .....................................................................................................................................

    Comme des Garcons - 2 Man EdT
    41DJNVvUbsL._AC_SL230_.jpg
    The fresh chypre boise fragrance brings together a mix of green mate angelica root, coriander spiced up with cinnamon, nutmeg and bay oil and an ink base of patchouli, Chinese cedarwood and cade oil.

    €20 / 10ml, €42 / 25ml or €63 / 50ml. 50ml portion keeps original bottle and box. 40ml remaining on current 100ml split.

  • Registered Users Posts: 3,483 ✭✭✭Masala


    Padraig.... what do u recommend for ' the wife' ?? Anniversary coming up and she always asking me for perfume. Something for tge 50+ age BUT still young at heart and can still turn the heads!! ( in my eyes anyway!!)


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,775 ✭✭✭✭Slattsy


    Hi Pat,

    Put me down for the 10ml sampler of both Amouge Memoir & Amber 114.

    Cheers.


  • Registered Users Posts: 546 ✭✭✭gerfmurphy


    I Would take a 10ml tester of amouage but, that may be allocated if so I would try 10ml amber 114


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19 Vic Ferrari

    Fragrance appreciation can vary widely from person to person so always difficult to second guess what someone will like! However, I'd regard Creed's Aventus for Her (€75 / 50ml - split open, but of course not 100% guaranteed to finish) as a reasonably safe bet (if you've smelled the male Aventus, to me - and I'm no expert - it's a bit like it with added rose). I've also got their Royal Priness Oud listed but have never smelt it so am reluctant to recommend it blindly. Bear in mind of course that, while I package in high quality bottles with good labels, it is not retail packaging (no box etc) - just something to take into consideration when giving as a gift. I can get most Creeds in 50/75/120ml etc retail packaging - just drop me a PM if you (or anyone else) was interested in this; pricing wouldn't be as good of course, but still well cheaper than BT.

    Pat, I'll take 50ml of Aventus and I'll try 10ml of un bois vanille as well please.

    I've put you down as a possible for both - I'll contact you re whichever split looks like it'll finish in line with your other orders.
