UPDATE 02/12/12: Still on! Frederic Malle Trios Vetiver Extraordinare, Noir Epices, ???

2012-02-28T18:58:00.000-08:00

UPDATE 02/28/12: I haven't forgotten about these, so if you're still interested let me know. I do prefer to do at least 2 at a time budget permitting...maybe we can get them filled by the time the next Barney's event rolls around (I think I know their schedule by now!). Or sooner is fine.

Cost will be the retail @ Barney's + 8.75% CA sales tax (boo!). Again these are the sets of 3 x 10 ml atomizers so the price per ml is a little higher than if splitting a whole bottle and goodness knows I would love to make use of the big stash of supplies I ordered but this way we can indulge in more choices without having to fill 100 ml bottles of each one =)

Update 11/15/11: New Splits Coming Soon! Ideas for Paris exclusives? Vintage scents?

2011-11-15T18:12:00.000-08:00

UPDATE: 11/15/11
2 months gone buy with no perfume buying! I got busy with a freelance thing and I've been cheating on my perfume hobby with a new hobby (making jewelry...though right now I would call it buying beads, lots and lots of beads).
Am adding Herme's Hermessence Santal Massoia to the list of possible splits...in general very interested in adding/completing/starting my collection of the "Exclusives" from Chanel, Dior, Tom Ford, Hermes and Serge Lutens.

UPDATE 08/1/11 for Serge Lutens Vitriol d’Oeillet Haute Concentration (SHIPPED)

2011-08-01T11:43:00.000-07:00

UPDATE 08/1/11: All closed, all payment received and the bottle arrived but I have to head out for a couple days so I've asked my post office to hold the box so I can go get it on my way out. I can't do much until I get back but at least it will be with me and I'll post a pic soon as possible :-)

Thank you everyone for participating.

Decants in 1, 2, 4 ml will be available soon.

UPDATED 8/1/11 Coming up! Amouage Honour, Serge Lutens Chergui, by Kilian Sweet Redemption, Dior Miss Dior Cherie (pre-20111 reform)

2011-07-20T22:45:00.000-07:00

Update 08/1/11: Leave a comment or email if interested in anything, I'll start separate posts for each one eventually. Not all at once, 1-2 closing within a month if probably all I can afford myself :)

HONOUR (Woman/Man) (Amouage) - added 07/23/11. Latest EDP release, I will host Woman first, I'm making 50 ml available right now and then possibly more, let me know your min-max and I'll adjust if I need to. More than 15 ml will likely require 2 bottles as this is a spray, and not the most user friendly I prefer to decant no more than 10 ml at a time. Correction 8/1/11: price per ml is lower than I thought, ~$2.28/ml.

Splitting: Christian Dior MITZAH - SHIPPED

2011-04-28T01:22:00.000-07:00

Noteworthy reviews:
Octavian at 1000fragrances describes as "...the quintessence of amber. It's sweet, warm, animalic and devastating like the odor of the panther muse that (still) haunts the avenue Montaigne house. It's barbarian, but extremely civilized, preciously heavy but airy like a silk lingerie. It's feline and Fellinian." Click here to read his full review of Mitzah.

Splitting: Serge Lutens Chene! SHIPPED

2011-03-18T14:07:00.000-07:00

This much loved Serge Lutens was released as a limited edition export and so has been increasingly hard to find except at Barney's, Lucky Scent etc (and at the full $140+tax for the haute concentration).
