I can't buy either of my favourites in the UK any more: Acca Kappa 1869 and Boticario di Havana are still available from German sellers on eBay for now, fortunately.
Im about to replace my Creed and seeing rave reviews for Scent Samples - anyone know why they are so much cheaper than the high street? Im not complaining but £75 as opposed to £170 at John Lewis??????
Too good to be true?
Arrived this morning. Ordered yesterday afternoon.
Aventus : 50ml , comes in decent glass tester bottle. Definitely Aventus. Good projection , dry down seems consistent.
Green Irish Tweed : 50ml same glass tester bottle. Little bit of leakage around cap but seems same amount as the Aventus despite that. Smells totally correct although not tried on skin.
Tom Ford : Tuscan Leather : 10ml travel botyle. Nice little bottle. Really complex smokey scent , initially a bit weird but dry down seems to mellow it and make it a bit sweeter. Nice macho scent.
X2 free samples : creed Spice and Wood official Creed sample bottle. Looks to be about 2ml plus.
Dior Sauvage 1ml scent sample branded.
X1 10% off voucher next purchase.
All in all I’m very happy.
Ok, I'm looking for some cheap thrills. What on the Home Bargains Men's Fragrances page, http://www.homebargains.co.uk/catego...fragrance.aspx, should I buy or avoid? Or is it all there because it's all avoid? ;-)
I see that they have some of the Tweed for £2.75:

Next is really nice. Only about £10a bottle
Smell lasts all day.
Where is good to buy genuine online for reasonable prices?

I tried some Dunhill Icon at John Lewis last weekend... there are three slightly different scents, but the original Icon is the best of the lot IMHO.
Gone straight to the top of my Christmas list
This is the kiddie - https://www.dunhill.com/gb/icon_cod4...l#dept=frgrncs
Terre d'hermes
Although technically it's a perfume.
I cannot not recommend Trumper's Extract of Limes enough - smells half decent, but the scent lasts all of 20 minutes, and no it's not a case of getting used to the smell; totally gone from the perspective of a fresh snozz too.
Armani Mania, only seen it online or in big duty free shops at airports recently.

Tom ford is my favourite , ombré leather 👌🏽
Avensis. (sorry not sure of the spelling. Very expensive but worth it.
Just received my items from scent samples and have to say Im very pleased - half the price but with out the packaging - I even called them as I was concerned about the offers being so good but as has been mentioned they buy in bulk and re bottle the goods to pass on so its ideal if its for your own consumption and not a gift - tested my creed alongside my selfridges brought products and Im happy its the real deal.
Great prices, quick turnaround and a discount code for my next order
bottle of Creed Aventus and some irish tweed with chaange from what I pay for one bottle - happy days
Many thanks for the heads up on here

The new Creed Viking is growing on me after ordering unseen/smelt
Just opened some guerlain heritage can't belive how classy it still smells considering it came out in 1992
Just purchased Creed Aventus 50ml from Scent Samples. Used code sample10 for 10% off.
drive the ladies wild. Be warned.
I suspect they buy the bulk without the packaging at all. Working in the industry I know we ship it in bulk to the client so I suspect the likes of scent samples buy in the same bulk and split the margin saved from packaging costs (or lack of).
(I also bought some Creed Aventus and Tom Ford Noir, arriving imminently )
Carolina Herrera 212 is my current fragrance of choice.
Brut or Old Spice, anything else shouts out that you're a soft Southerner.

I've just received my 50ml Aventus order from Scent Samples. Very please with the service and price. Also got a sample of Creed Himalaya which is fantastic. I may actually prefer it to Aventus and im going to order 50ml.
Polo Black- that brings back memories.......... really liked that.
I've stopped buying ordinary bottles (although i occasionally get a small bottle of Tommy Hilfiger)
I buy the ultra-small vials off e-bay/Amazon now -as they don't go off like the large bottles.
Travelling? Just slip a couple into your bag - you don't even notice them.
Been on scentsamples myself and found that Tom Ford Oud Wood is really nice - would recommend
Don't wear much, but when occasion counts I've worn this for years but can be hard to get hold of in this country..
Also like their classic Pour Homme which I've worn for decades.
Out for a date tonight.
Aventus is of course the favourite candidate.
Green Irish Tweed
Tom Ford Tuscan Leather
Are the other runners.
GIT is more of a day scent for me.
Tuscan Leather is new to me so needs a bit of testing first.
Opinions... Runaround!
Pecksniffs for me most days
Aventus is a weekend/special occasion one for me.
Amazingreen for a daytime treat but it's not strong so if you really want it to be noticed, steer clear.
For every day, John Varvatos is really good value and punches way above its weight.
