July 6th: UNITED KINGDOM CUSTOMERS ONLY: As I type I am off work, however I realise this message needs to be written. Yesterday our courier agent informed us that UPS has vastly increased the price of the UK saver service to the point its now more expensive than using the express service. As such we have now been switched to the express service and as a result, the shipping price for UK customers has now increased from 19.99 to 38.99. I am extremely sorry about this but there is nothing I can do in this instance. Please note as well that this is a cost price, we do not make profits at all on shipping costs.
July 5th: Hello World, Adam Michael here. Just a quick message to say that all orders received up to 17.10pm Italy time will leave with the couriers tomorrow. We are now going to take some time off work as we really need a rest. As such, orders we may now receive will be sent from Tuesday 12th July. Please kindly note from now until our return we will not be responding to emails. Thank you, Adam : )
Orris root is the dried rhizome of sweet iris species, Iris germanica, Iris florentina, and Iris pallida. The roots of these plants are usually hung to dry for 3 to 5 years before processing to extract some of the most precious materials ever to be used in perfumery. Their scent is incomparable, as powerful as it is subtle and has been described as tenaciously flowery, violet, powdery, rooty and woody. The performance of orris root in perfumes is as outstanding as it is beautiful, having both a fixative and an exalting effect, similar to ambergris.
