23/07/21 at 17.35pm: Adam Michael here, about to finish for today but before I do I have a little update : )
The TEST order to Australia was a success, sailing through customs like pre-covid times. Therefore, in September (so after our holiday) Australia will be added back to the list of countries we can supply. Next, when we are off work in August, I am musing on cutting the offering of natural isolates and essential oils we offer by as many as 30 lines. I will touch on this more in the final newsletter and welcome thoughts from clients. Also, before we close for the holiday, I will be uploading Egyptian Orange Blossom Absolute, however it won’t be for sale as a standalone material (it also won’t make for a pleasant reading at all) BUT will feature in September’s new product releases, which includes an Orange Blossom and Neroli sample set. In September I have some more big-ticket releases lined up, including two possible oud custom distillations exclusive for Hermitage. I also have sourced more protium copal resin plus a wonderful peppery elemi resin. And the updated wholesale list that will feature more aromatics will be available to download at the start of September. Please remember if you are in the E.U, the last time for placing an order is the 27th July. And in preparation of our August holiday, all NON-E.U shipping destinations have now been switched off from our website. Thanks to all who support us and kind regards, Adam : ) Dismiss
Adam Michael has this to say ” This absynthe essential oil is first steam distilled from the leaves and flowering tops and then molecular distilled. Arguably the finest material of its kind, artisan produced, and commonly known as wormwood or green ginger. The colour is lush marine blue-green due to a minute content of chamazulene. The smell is warm, sharp, dry-woody and herbaceous-green throughout, comparable to a cedar leaf and chamomile blue infusion. A unique note for perfumers, very hard to source in small quantities and a must for building distinguished gentleman scents and old school barber shop accords.”
Botanical Name: Artemisia absinthium
Origin: France
Safety Data: Absynthe essential oil contains thujone which is potentially dangerous to human beings. Use with great care. Not recommended for use in aromatherapy

A challanging yet superlative material. Takes you back to crazy drinking nights, if you have experienced them… or, pairs extremelly well with resinous material, bringing an unusual freshness to compositions. Not the easyest material to use, needs to be added slowly as it might overwehlm your blend. Add it to Nagarmotha and Boswellia to experience something beautyful….

A new oil for me, but wow, it opened up my entire head when I opened it. It will take me some time to play with this and come up with something delicious, but that I will! Something about it reminds me of tonka bean, perhaps the sweetness. Overall I do believe I will have fun exploring options.

Amazing oil.it reminds me an old famous chewing gum we used to buy 15 years ago..it has this sharp herbaceous smell like menthol green tornato..its excellent for male perfumes and why not use it in a room diffuser to feel that fresh mint like beautiful smell..
