15th September at 13.40pm: Adam Michael here with a little update. First, our offering of rose aromatics has become too big - largest online offering in Europe - and so we are phasing out ROSE OTTO SUPER PREMIUM, ROSE OTTO CO2 ORGANIC and ROSE PETALS PERSIAN OTTO. These beautiful materials sourced directly are available at heavily reduced prices and available whilst stocks last. Next, OSMANTHUS ABS is now priced at just 375 Euros per 50G and this epic multi layered beauty is sourced directly through my own network in China. Next, SANDALWOOD MUSK 1960 CO2, stocks are very low, we have maybe a weeks supply based on how it is selling, so if you want a bottle or more of this old school dreamy vintage smelling wonder, then buy it now as this quality of sandalwood is no easy feat at all to source. Next, we now have stocks again of the pink champagne coloured Wild Strawberry Liquid and very soon I will also be writing about this aromatic. Kewda E.O, lots are asking about it, but note it has had lots of delays and realistically now, I wont have supplies of this until at least mid November. Regarding order lead-times, currently the lead-time still stands at 7 working days and I thank all clients for their patience as we process orders as fast as we can. Finally for now, we are working with a company that specialises in the paperwork side of our business and are hopeful towards the close of 2021 that we should have REACH COMPLIANT paperwork in place on the website for every product we sell. I will write again here on Monday 20th. Thank you, Adam : ) Dismiss
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!

Caramel vanilla like alcohol tinture.. little sticky on my skin when applied but very valuable for its use..
