OK, you got the last one! Will PM you.Id be interested in the triple pack if you still have some
Gone for the moment as above, some more info below.I'd go for triple creed pack too if available. First timer, trying to figure out what I like.
Creed triple packs (3 x 10ml Aventus, GIT, Viking).
These are sold out for the moment (and for those that got my email yesterday - apologies for omitting the price!). I *may* do more in a number of weeks - drop me a line if you're interested. If / when it happens really depends on other requests, in particular Viking (I have no more of this, hence the end of the current batch of triple packs). If you're interested in a 50ml split of Creed Viking, please let me know - if there's enough people after it I'll get more in (and do more triple packs), but it's too pricey to get it in 'on spec'.
Update / other stuff
Previous split participants will have got an email with new stuff yesterday. I'll be sticking these on here as soon as I sort out all the tedious coding / formatting etc. In addition, I'm going to open two more splits - below. I'll be looking at a quick turnaround on these, as I'd need to pick them both up within a week as I can get them while travelling. Both all but impossible to get discounts on, hence the higher price.
Frederic Malle - French Lover
Lovely Autumn / Winter stuff. This opens very absinthe / boozy, before drying down to something very similar to Creed's uber-pricey Spice & Wood - think warm, elegant wood - very classy. RRP €135 / 50ml.
€24.50/71/106.50 for 10/30/50ml.
Le Labo - Santal 33
I ain't smelled this myself but I can tell you it is huge among the jet set in New York and further afield - it's perhaps the only contender to Aventus's crown. Much rarer in Europe, but it's still increasingly being featured in sundry 'lifestyle' pieces. RRP €152 / 50ml.
€25.50/74/111.50 for 10/30/50ml.0 -

Updated 2/10/18 :
I've sourced new 10ml bottles - these aren't quite as nice as the old ones, but they're a lot cheaper so many 10ml split prices below have been. (Ones that haven't been reduced are already bottled).
Note re 10ml splits and An Post shipping
You can now choose to get 10ml splits in plastic atomisers. These don't look nearly as nice as glass atomisers, but I can ship them via An Post at a considerably lower cost of €4.30 (up to 6 bottles). Note this shipping is not tracked or insured, and is only available for 10ml splits in plastic atomisers. Larger splits and/or glass still need to go via courier. Please ask for this option as early as you can, as I sometimes bottle splits before they've been allocated for logistical reasons, in glass by default.
As well as the new stuff below, I have the following available in hand as of 2/10/2018:
Montale - Aoud Leather: Last one left @ €19 €15.
Creed - Acier Aluminium: 75ml available @ €36.50/58.50 for 25/50ml.
80s Powerhouses Triple Pack: 2 x (3 x 10ml each Drakkoir Noir, Bogart One Man Show & Caron Yatagan) left @ reduced price of €41 €34 €27.
Questions on any of these? Just ask!
Creed - Aventus: more coming soon.
Creed - Green Irish Tweed: Three x 50ml left.
Amouage - Myths: Three x 10ml left @ €26.
Amouage - Memoir: Last 10ml left @ €26.
Amouage - Figment: Last 10ml left @ €23.
M. Micallef - Avant Garde: 80ml left @ €15/41/56 for 10/30/50ml.

**New fragrances**
TOM FORD
Vert d'Encens *in hand*
From TF's exclusive Private Blend line, this is a brilliant all rounder, but especially suited to winter / Christmas. Heavy on the green and wood, with a decent dash of incense. A bit like this house's Italian Cypress with added oomph. This isn't as well known as some of the brand's big hitters, but reviewers rate this right up there with the very best, alongside Tuscan Leather, Tobacco Vanille, etc, making it a canny buy to stand out from the crowd - you're not going to find too many people wearing this.
"Impressive winter scent. Incense and realistic fir tree, with a rich vanilla in the long drydown. It changes quite thoroughly from intensely green to smooth and smoky, and it lasts ages" - Fragrantica.
€75 / 50ml - you won't find a better deal than that (RRP €188 in retail packaging)! I have a decent amount of this available, but when it's gone, it's gone and won't be coming back.
.......................................................................................................................................
Ombre Leather *in hand*
This was originally launched as a limited edition in the exclusive Private Blend, before moving to the cheaper main Signature line, making it excellent value. Like Tuscan Leather, this is heavy on a breathtakingly realistic leather but if you find Tuscan a tough wear, this is for you as it smooths out Tuscan's roughness. RRP €90/ 50ml.
€17/46.50 for 10/30ml.
.......................................................................................................................................
Noir Extreme - open split
One of the most popular of the Signature line, this flanker to Noir is for those with a sweet tooth, with its vanilla warmth. RRP €85 / 50ml.
€15.50/44/62.50 for 10/30/50ml. 50ml comes in original 100ml bottle and box. Open split so needs enough people to sign up to go ahead.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
CREED
Triple pack - Aventus, Green Irish Tweed & Viking *waitlist*
Want to try Creed's biggest three men's scents without going all out on full bottles of each? Well, here you go - 10ml each of Aventus, GIT and Viking. Available in glass atomisers, or in plastic by post as above.
This pack is currently sold out. I may do more if I get a good number of people signed up - let me know if you're interested. Price TBC.
......................................................................................................................................
Viking - open split
As the ‘difficult second album’ following Aventus, Viking was always going to get a rough ride – and so it proved. Now approaching a year on release, the dust has settled and the tide has turned – Viking is now getting a LOT of praise, and I have got excellent feedback from buyers. It’s perhaps easy to see why it was initially criticised – it doesn’t have a burst of immediate, distinct, playfulness like Aventus, but it’s proving its worth as a very versatile, gently spiced fragrance that exudes quality. Definitely a tad more mature than Aventus, it’s more suited to a 30+ age group. RRP €210 / 50ml.
€89 / 50ml.
.......................................................................................................................................
Aventus for Her (women) – open split
Does this really need an introduction? Female spin off of the Aventus titan - to me it smells like the original with added rose. RRP €160 / 30ml.
€93 / 50ml. Three slots left. ETA early Nov.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
CHANEL
Bleu de Chanel Parfum *coming soon*
Newest in the hugely popular BdC range, this is the strongest yet at Parfum concentration. RRP €91 / 50ml.
€17 / 10ml or €47 / 30ml. Available mid October, but need names by October 4th at the latest so I can reserve it. Not much left to allocate.
.......................................................................................................................................
Gabrielle (women) – open split
Chanel's latest female big launch, this has proven very popular. RRP €97 / 50ml.
€17.50/50/72.50 for 10/30/50ml. 50ml comes in original 100ml bottle and box.Available mid October, but need names by October 4th at the latest so I can reserve it.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
TIZIANA TERENZI
Laudano Nero *coming soon*
A seriously intricate fragrance, with perhaps the longest list of included scents I've seen:
- Top notes: Wormwood, Cognac, Rosemary, Tobacco, Myrtle, Amber.
- Heart notes: Red rose, Black locust honey, Cedar, Iris, Sandalwood, Rosemary, Ash, Slate.
- Base notes: Cashmere, Laurel, Incense, Camphor, Oud, Vetiver, Musk, Oak, Vanilla, Labdanum.
A rare super concentrated Extrait de Parfum - performance won't be a problem here. Very dense and dark opening, before drying down to something like the warm amber of Amouage Opus VI.
€17.50/50/72.50 for 10/30/50ml. 50ml comes in original 100ml bottle and box. RRP €160 / 100ml.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
LES SENTEURS GOURMANDES
Vanille de la Reunion & Amber Oud double pack *in hand*
Nice'n'cheap twin pack from underground French house. Two of their best - the names pretty much describe them!
€16 for 2 x 10ml.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SERGE LUTENS
Chergui - open split
From the highly rated French house, this is a very well regarded sober cacao / tobacco / hay (apparently) affair - but not as sweet as that may imply. RRP €120 / 50ml.
€19/54.50 for 10/30ml. 50ml left to allocate.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
LAST CHANCE!
Amouage - Interlude
One of perfumery's most formidable scents, the reputation of Amouage's 'Blue Beast' precedes it. Stunningly intricate, with smoke / herbs / oud / incense and its legendary strength, this is perhaps more accessible than it sounds but should still be applied with caution - keep it to two sprays, max.
€24 for 10ml - last one left to allocate.
.......................................................................................................................................
Acqua di Parma - Fico di Amalfi
Hate winter and want to keep going with summery scents? This is the highest rated of AdP's warm weather Blu Mediterraneo line, with the emphasis on figs rather than the citrus of most of the line. Kinda jammy, very nice. Cheap too! RRP €42 / 30ml.
€29.50 for 25ml - last one left to allocate
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Other splits
CREED
Aventus
The legend is back!
€81 / 50ml. More coming soon.
.......................................................................................................................................
GREEN IRISH TWEED **in hand**
€77 / 50ml. Three slots left.
.......................................................................................................................................
ACIER ALUMINIUM **in hand**
Creed's very first masculine scent, dating back to the 70s. Now discontinued, but I've sourced a bottle. Old school, but not in a dry, barbershop, way; quite soapy but also a bit sweet and fruity - if this was a movie, it'd be Boogie Nights. 'Only' an Eau de Toilette but actually quite powerful - go easy on the trigger.
€36.50 / 25ml or €58.50 / 50ml. 75ml left.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
M. MICALLEF
Avant Garde **in hand**
Tobacco is the mostly commonly cited reference here, but it's sweetened (but not to the level of, say, TF Tobacco Vanaille) with tonka and cacao. Gets good reviews - I've seen comparisons drawn with Parfums de Marly's Herod, but haven't actually smelled that so can't confirm.
€18 reduced €15 / €41 / €56 for 10 / 30 / 50ml. 50ml portion comes in (very nice) original 100ml bottle and box. RRP €95 / 30ml. 80ml left.
