Anyone know where I can get it that isn’t £200? There’s a couple on eBay for £70 but from a Russian seller, which I’m not too keen on. Bird wants a bottle of this..
Get her TK No 4 mate, v similar and only £125 for 100ml from Harrods. Plus, you can borrow it as well

After 6 weeks it finally arrived. I fuckin love this stuff.
Also got some samples I wanted to try but only one I’d probably buy a bottle of.
Widian Hili: Wanted to try this because of the Coconut note. Can’t detect it, smells like middle-aged Lady.
Ormonde Jayne Man: Well up my street this one. Fresh spicy peppery opening, quite bitter, then dries down to vetiver (which I’m not normally a fan of) and woods. Nice.
Profumum Roma Acqua e Zucchero: So sweet it’s unreal! The No.5 is quite sweet from the vanilla note but this is another level. Would be nice for the Mrs but a no from me.

Speaking of Eden, few cheapie purchases this week…
Eden Virgin Waters 30ml - their version of Creed VIW. 90% similar, though the quality of the ingredients seem on the synthetic side, despite being all natural ingredients. Still, it’s nice fragrance and will definitely get a lot of use in the summer.
Eden Aventis 30ml - no guesses for what this is trying to do. Smells exactly like Mont Blanc Explorer (another known Aventus clone), minus the performance. Bit of an impulse buy, and will probably not get a ton of wear.
Both of the above were 15 quid each in store (Portobello Road, London) as opposed to 18 online.
Alexandria Dark Knight 30ml EDP - their version of Black Phantom by Kilian. 95% Coffee and Tabacco opening with rum/sugar on the dry down. Absolute beast of a fragrance, huge projection and on the first day I wore it, a girl stopped me on the tube ‘you smell amazing’. Says it all really. Already put an order in for a 100ml bottle.
Zara Bergamot and Lavender 80ml EDP - for some reason have always loved lavender based fragrances, even if it is the nan kid of all notes. Feels like 85% lavender and 15% bergamot drying down into a nicely blended lavender after a couple of mins. How this is EDP is beyond me, 3 sprays lasted about an hour and then it was gone. Was only a tenner so not too much to complain about.
