Updated 16/11/17 - *new* Winter warmers!:
Shipping on all fragrances in hand will be week beginning November 27th at the earliest as I’m currently finishing getting a major batch of orders processed.
Splits which needed to be ordered will be later so I’d advise asking for these ASAP if you want to ensure getting them before Christmas! This is particularly the case for Creed Bois du Portugal which needs to be ordered by the supplier first before they even send it to me.
For most of the below I doubt I’ll be ordering any further bottles this year, so last chance for 2017!

Winter warmers
A hand picked selection of scents, all identified as ideal to warm you up on a cold Winter day! (Remember, for most of these I need to allocate the full volume available to proceed).
Creed - Bois du Portugal
“A woody-rich scent, Bois du Portugal captures the fragrant forest of the Iberian Peninsula. This masculine fragrance takes its cue from the word bois, meaning “woods” in French. Recalling a hike in the Portuguese highlands, Master Perfumer Oliver Creed showcases the mysterious side of lavender. A favorite scent of a certain Rat Pack legend, this powerful blend is known for its smooth refinement and is the epitome of a classic.”
€70 / 50ml. 6 slots remaining on current split.
.....................................................................................................................................
Creed - Original Santal
“India’s royal and spiritual splendor meet in Original Santal . Looking to Asia for inspiration, Olivier and Erwin combine Mysore sandalwood, fiery cinnamon, warm vanilla, and Tonka bean. A robust scent fit for both formal and casual occasions, Original Santal is destined to captivate a room.”
€70 / 50ml. 9 slots remaining on current split.
.....................................................................................................................................
Serge Lutens - Fille en Aiguilles *in hand, ready to ship late Nov*
The is a fantastic winter scent, with a very ‘Christmas’ feel due to its combination of pine and incense. Now discontinued from Lutens’ main line, it's shooting up in price is shooting on on eBay etc – grab it while you can!
€25 / 10ml or €61.50 / 30ml. 40ml remaining on current split.
.....................................................................................................................................
Amouage - Interlude Man *in hand, ready to ship late Nov*
Some fragrances are light and airy, ideal for a summer day. Amouage’s 'Blue Beast’ is not one of these! Famous for its sheer power, this is surely in with a shot for the title of ‘Best Performing Fragrance’. An easy twelve hours from a squirt or two, this is definitely a ‘less is more’ scent – any more than two sprays is not advised if indoor! However, it’s easy to gloss over what it actually smells like – this is an olfactory kaleidoscope, often seeming to differ from day to day; it is sweet, but with the necessary density to balance this and giving glimpses of incense / wood / candy / cannabis after an oregano – forward opening.
SOLD OUT. Register your interest for a possible second split if I can source it at a reasonable price (delisted at usual supplier).
.....................................................................................................................................
Amouage - Bracken Man
“With Bracken Man, Amouage makes a break with its oriental traditions and offers men something more in line with a Victorian herb garden than an Arabian souk or palace. Opening on a spicy, grassy note, Bracken immediately plunges us into a sunny, walled herb garden where clutches of lavender are spilling out onto the path. Fresh, upturned soil, trampled grass and spicy aromatics all combine for a wonderfully compelling scent both timeless and unique.” (LuckyScent).
Note: I advise sampling this if possible (it’s available in Parfumarija in Dublin) – while it’s a top class scent, I would not regard it as a safe ‘blind buy’! This is also subject to withdrawal without notice as it’s on clearance at the supplier.
€25 / 10ml, €62 / 25ml, or €95 / 50ml. 50ml portion gets the gorgeous original bottle and packaging (which is possibly of an even higher standard than Amouage’s usual – and that’s saying something). 60ml remaining on current split.
.....................................................................................................................................
Maison Francis Kurkdjian - Grand Soir
First listing of a scent from famed French house MFK for me. I personally don’t get on with quite a few of their lineup, finding them very cloying but this dials back the sweetness a bit (but is still most definitely sweet) and pushes a very classy vanilla / cacao smell. Could be used by a woman too I reckon.
€54 / 25ml or €95 / 50ml. 175ml remaining on current split.
.....................................................................................................................................
Acqua di Parma – Colonia Oud *ordered, ready to ship late Nov*
“An exclusive and elegant fragrance born from the authentic union of the vibrant and enveloping notes citrus of Colonia with those of the warm and deep Oud oil, an extremely rare oil extracted from agarwood, a precious resin of the aquilaria tree.”
€55 / 30ml. 3 slots remaining remaining on current split.
.....................................................................................................................................
Dolce & Gabbana – The One for Men EdP *in hand, ready to ship late Nov*
It's 'just' a designer, but it's a hit. A warm, sweet, vaguely coconut / wood smell – very nice. This is the stronger eau de parfum version.
€34 / 25ml or €54 / 50ml. 125ml remaining on current split.
.....................................................................................................................................
Yves Saint Laurent – Rive Gauche pour Homme EdT *in hand, ready to ship late Nov*
You want barbershop? You got barbershop! Old school to the max, this is a classic, dry, cologne.
€19 / 10ml or €45 / 30ml. 30ml remaining on current split.
.....................................................................................................................................
Puredistance - M
All of the above just that bit too cheap for you and you fancy something really special? Well, how about Puredistance M, created by legendary niche perfumer Roja Dove and regularly mentioned in “world’s best fragrance” threads? A leather dominant scent, it’s apparently meant to smell like the inside of a new Aston Martin. And if you’re driving an Aston, you can probably just about afford this scent; it’s ridiculously expensive – but you’ll definitely be the only person at the party wearing it! Unless it's a tGC party.....
€60 / 10ml or €167 / 30ml. 70ml remaining on current split.

Other splits
Creed
VIKING - *ordered, shipping late Nov*
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 / Winter. A classic, spicy, cologne, this is perhaps aimed at a slightly more mature audience than Aventus.
€72 / 50ml. 3 slots remaining on current split.Free Viking or Aventus official 2.5ml spray sample with any Viking split RRP €205.
.......................................................................................................................................
AVENTUS - in hand, shipping late Nov
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 ~2/3 less instead?!
€70 / 50ml.
12 slots left.
Aventus 100ml retail bottles (original, boxed) also available at €189.50. Brown Thomas price: €264.50.
.......................................................................................................................................
GREEN IRISH TWEED - *ordered, shipping late Nov*
ETA late November. €70/50ml. Have changed to 250ml splits to avoid extended waits to receive juice.
1 slot left.
