August 15th: Today in Italy is Ferragosto, an important public holiday. As such couriers are not working. This means we will be sending parcels from Tuesday. We are absolutely stuffed with orders to assemble, as such lead-times are as follows, E.U 7 to 10 days. Non-EU 14 to 17 days. ADDITIONS: Before placing your order, please check very carefully. As having to re-edit existing orders greatly adds to our processing times and is making the queue of orders move slower and slower for everybody. I thank you for understanding. Adam : )
August 11th: Quick note to say I have now added the Wild Cedarwood Absolute to the website. This is the final new release for 2022 prior to closing across September for 5 months. I need to state for those paying via bank transfer, politely your order is not secured until we have received payment in full. If you are considering buying Mysore Sandalwood, please keep in mind we now have very low stocks left and its likely this will sell out by the end of this week. Ambrette Absolute is now also running low and so are most of our frankincense aromatics along with Prachin Oud. As for lead times, non E.U orders are now taking up to 14 days to assemble and dispatch. Orders sent within the E.U are taking roughly a week before they are assembled and dispatched. 2022 season Organic Lemon FCF E.O is now reduced in price as we have a lot to clear prior to closing. For those within the E.U who may be interested in 5 and 10 kilo pack weights, please get in touch on email. I will write again by Sunday. Thank you, Adam
July 27th: Adam Michael here with an update. Ok, my partner Eleonora is pregnant with our first child. Written because across September Eleonora goes on maternity leave for 5 months and I intend to join her and use the opportunity to have a rest before the baby is born. The exact date will be confirmed nearer the time but for now just to say if you need anything from Hermitage Oils to please plan ahead because when we close it really will be for 5 months and during that time we will be completely out of contact. Thank you, Adam : )
Adam Michael has this to say “Chiefly a head note, this alpha-pinene natural isolate has a dry-woody, piney-refreshing and also lightly camphoraceous character. Used in perfume compositions, it will impart an open air and breezy pine forest nuance in the top notes. Alpha Pinene is one of the most common components found in natural scents and is therefore naturally occurring in a multitude of essential oils too, making this natural isolate extremely useful to impart lift and refreshing naturalness to perfume compositions.”
Arctander has this to say “Its odor is warm-resinous, refreshing Pine-like…a minor ingredient in other compositions: artificial Lemon, Bergamot, Nutmeg, Geranium, Lavandin, etc.”

Alpha Pinene is simply wonderful as it reminds me of a fresh pine wood after rain, the smell of walk into the forest. It is less resinous, somehow more fresh than Beta pinene. Certainly superior to synthetic version.
