7th November at 11.35am. Update. First, Hermitage Oils website is now closed for the rest of 2023. No more orders are being accepted and all countries have been removed from the website at checkout, to prevent orders from being placed whilst we are off work. Apologies if I sound like a broken record, but politely I have received so many emails asking about placing orders already. I am now putting an out of office message in place on the email and website contact page. As soon as all orders have been delivered - we are then properly off work for the rest of 2023. Sincerely, we need a proper break as the stress of this year has become too great. On a brighter note, the following SDS are now uploaded onto the website and available to clients by logging in to your account and going to the section titled SDS (assuming you have purchased the product) ... Blue Lotus Absolute, Bergamot Mint E.O, Clove Bud Absolute, Apple Liquid, Chamomile Roman E.O, Cognac Green Signature Gold E.O, Costus Root E.O, Eucalyptus Absolute, Cocoa Absolute Signature Gold, Geranium Chinese E.O, Frankincense Rivae E.O, Buddha Wood E.O and Cedarwood Himalayan E.O. The business handling the conversion still needs to hand over about 60 more SDS and as we receive them, they will be uploaded onto the website. Thank you, Adam : )
Eleonora Scalseggi has this to say “This toffee infused tincture is obtained from the deep-reddish resin of Commiphora tenuipetiolata, a shrub related to the myrrh tree and commonly growing in Southern Africa. Large chunks of the resin are often used as soap or rubbed onto clothes to fragrance them and hence its common name.
Shiny reddish brown in colour like lightly glazed dates, once tinctured this resin displays sticky-sweet and dry fruity facets of dates entwined with sweet toffee and light spices.
It obviously blends very well with other Commiphoras and especially with Opoponax Absolute where it can extend the toffee – light burnt bittersweet caramel notes. It can also be used in oriental, gourmand and leather accords as well as with florals for a spicy-caramel twist. It has a fair fixative power but it needs to be used with restraint due to its stickiness on the skin. Available in very limited quantity.”

This is such a unique Myrrh. Very little in the way of bitter and earthy elements when compared to the more common Commiphora Myrrha. Instead this oozes a soft and radiant warmth, filled with gourmand, treacle-like, boozy middle and base notes.

Initially this has a boozyness, with burnt sugar toffee/caramel, vanilla, I’m trying to describe the fruitness – it’s like a tart Montmerency Cherry,candied rind, nougatey, a little dark chocolate, maybe even a touch of mint but is not heavy. It makes me hungry and thirsty for a Pedro Ximénez aged sherry!
