8th February Update at 1.40pm: The website has now been tweaked with the message below. Until early May we now supply to European Union countries only. By early May we will be better organised and able to handle a much larger workload per day. Once in place, USA, Hong Kong and United Arab Emirates will be switched back on. I have also updated the FAQ and mention this within that page. On the new product front, within the next 3 weeks, I am releasing Tuscan Green Olive Absolute Signature Gold, this project has been two years in the making, the end result is the most incredible olive absolute you will ever experience - it is light years superior to the Egyptian offering we and others carry. I am also going to release Italian Oakwood absolute, another custom production for Hermitage, plus I'll introduce Violet Leaf Concrete, and at least one of my 5 new Persian Rose Ottos for sale. If time allows I am going to release a wonderful Mitti Attar and two new Nagarmotha offerings as I want to put together a collection for Nagarmotha to showcase the vast differences in profile you can obtain. And finally I am definitely going to ramp up the wholesale list even further by introducing many more of our existing aromatics this month with wholesale options. Thank you and I will write again now here across early next week. Adam : )

Adam Michael has this to say “Wow what a material, amber warm with sticky sweet medicinal qualities oozing within the top notes. The heart and base notes are lashings and lashings of sultry warm ambery charm and a never ending output of animalic-leathery shoe shop nuances. The longevity, the body, the intensity, the consistency, it is simply breath taking – lasting weeks on the smelling strip and several hours on the skin.
A true masterpiece material, maybe the best natural amber material available. Fantastic material for building amber bases, developing leather, tobacco, fougere, chypre and dry woody accords. Excellent material for enriching frankincense notes, adds interesting effects within citrus accords and blends especially well with sandalwood materials.
This material is obtained by molecular distillation from cistus labdanum extract, orange-yellow in colour and of a pourable viscosity.”
David Ruskin has this to say “Not at all sweet! It is strongly labdanum and reminds me of Dynascone or Animalis. I love it! Possibly some styrax there too. It smells to me of Plasticine (old and all the colours mixed together, like I remember from Junior school). After a while there is a dried fruit note. After that, it stays pretty much the same, and I imagine that it lasts for weeks on a smelling strip. Very nice material.”

One of my favorites. Superlative for leather blends, I’ve used it for a boozy floral blend, cray enough it work very well with violet like notes (Ionones-Irones-Iris…). Can be used in substitution of Castoreum or Birch, though not the same result, it gives an amazing super long lasting animalic effect that is balanced and very peculiar…

Honey amber smell with a bit of medicine..warm apple pie on the table and children waiting around it …my favorite memories as a child in my grandmother’s house..excellent stuff to work with oriental and incensy creations ..so calming effect on my mind

This stuff is out of this world but also a puzzling to use.
Gives me an olfactory trip back to my youth and the barns and stables of nearby farms, this has a horsey, manure, hay note combined with medicinal balmy and unusual Plasticine bitter-sweetness. It’s completely odd but overwhelmingly intoxicating. One of the most interesting resins I’ve ever smelled, but perhaps not for everyone?

I really do adore this material. Amber sweetie to me is an animalic warm and intoxicating blend of benzoin, labdanum and Raspberry absolute all in one. It whisks me back to the dusty hot streets of Chennai.

This is great stuff for building amber based scents together with some labdanum abs, vanilla and African soap myrrh. benzoin, vanilla and woods. Still experimenting with it for sure.

A very useful fraction of Cistus ladaniferus, it is a blessing for anyone who fantasizes of the perfect leather accord. I am very happy to have come across it. It blends so well with Frankincense as well other traditional “leather” oils like rectified Birch. It is tenacious, however, and it will likely outlast even other powerhouse base notes.

Gorgeous, more elegant version of labdanum. That slightly bitter note makes it sophisticated and addictive. Very useful and beautiful material.
John (verified owner) –
A fascinating oil. Very warming. Smelling neat, the dominating note I detect is “barnyard”, almost manure-like!
Carlos silva (verified owner) –
A wonderful, deep, rich leather-ish and animalic long lasting smell.Great alone or mixed with other scents in perfume. Goes really well with “woodsy” scents like sandalwood, cedar, and Peru balsam.
Spencer R (verified owner) –
This is a MUST for leather accords. It also works beautifully in rounding out more deep and masculine amber accords. I definitely get resin-leather-sweet amber impressions.
Carrie T (verified owner) –
I am in love! What a rich gift to my soul, calming, heartfelt warmth. I am excited to explore blending with it.
Carlos silva (verified owner) –
This just blow me away …i dont find it to sweet as Labdanum but im enchanted with the animalic-leatherish, what a wonderfull master piece.
Love love love it.
Lena B (verified owner) –
Beautiful deep smoky and sensual amber. Leather with a touch of red fruits and powdery violets. My new favourite 🙂
Nicholas M (verified owner) –
This takes the most leathery aspect of labdanum and multiples it by 20. This is a very masculine fraction of labdanum. I imagine this could be a base material for a modern saddle soap type scent. Very strong barnyard scent until dilution, but in the best possible ways.

Most puzzling, unexpected and surprising, unsettling and mind-boggling, incredible (and incredulous) Labdanum essence I’ve ever encountered (big fan of Cistrose here); a real Maverick – to the point that upon opening the bottle for the first time I thought, that some freakish confusion has happened and I’ve got not a cutely diminitive ‘Amber sweetie’, but some animalistic beastly ‘Rambo sweaty’ of another oil:
Immediate, and overwhelming impression of the first sniff (both from the bottle and on wrist swipe) was that I’m having a raw Assam Boya Oud – raunchy-animalistic sour sweaty cloud of pungent sebum soaked in musty and musky groin pheromones. I dismissed the impossible notion of Boya, then I thought, ah! that’s Castoreum that Adam poured by mistake. And he probably also added some Costus root for the good measure!
After a while, the intoxicating sweaty cloud opened up with terpenic resinous notes of Rosin (Colophonium resin used for violin bows, wrestlers’ grip and ballet shoes), intermingling with waxy stearin-like wiffs of extinguished candle, freshly cured leather of horse-riding boots, traces of cresole; in fact the whole ambience of horse-riding ambience is in this ‘sweatie’ wonder.
Further down upon mellowing, the scent suddenly and occasionally shows a soapy clean note of Frankincense, then morphing back into Castoreum phantom.
While resinous bitterness does eventually discloses a connection of this aromatic wonder to a plant named ‘Cistrose’, the scent continues to have a powerful animalistic diffusion and pheromonic ‘stir’ all the way throughout its timeline. A Phenomenon of essence!
