26th April at 7.35pm: A quick update. Many parcels have left today. The situation is as follows, we still have one order left to process for the 10th (Paris retailer), one for the 11th and a lot more still for the 15th through to the 18th - mostly USA wholesale orders. The plan now is to work on orders across the weekend and by no later than Tuesday 30th - every order placed upto the 18th will be dispatched. Ideally they will all be out by Monday 29th but based on how I called it wrong recently I think it's better to call it for Tuesday. I'll update on order lead times for the 19th onwards on Monday 29th. It goes without saying that I am very sorry about the lead-time but like the lab and staff, it is now just a matter of a month or so before we are better organised, holding larger stocks of each aromatic, and in turn the lead-times will drastically improve going forward. Ok, back on Monday and thank you to everyone for the continued support. Thank you, Adam : )
23rd April at 4.10pm: Unfortunately, regarding the message below and lead-times, I called it wrong. My apologies. As such all orders placed upto the 15th - and about half of those placed on the 16th, will leave by Friday 26th. On Thursday no collections are possible by couriers as it's a national holiday here in Italy. On the subject of SDS, the company handling this for us, has written to me today, acknowledged more are owed to us (submitted in December and January) and that they are now working on producing the final lot of SDS for us. This includes Plantation, Wild and Jungle ouds that many of you ask about. Next, I have spent the past year (literally) sampling ambrette seed e.o and absolutes from various producers and resellers to no avail. They all smell really poor compared to what I carried. They are too nutty, too fatty, too vegetative, too lacklustre, falling away very fast, and really dont showcase the musky textured qualities of a top ambrette properly. Even the big naturals brands are all obtaining and selling sucky poor man's ambrette at the moment. Written as I have decided to move over to carrying ambrette CO2 and this will be in place until I can find a wow absolute and E.O again. CO2 is still not on par with what I had, but it offers a far better profile on the musky front than the abs and e.os in the market place right now. This CO2 will be in stock by early May. Next, we will put all the non.eu destinations we can supply to, back on our website on May 6th - so U.A.E, UK, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and Australia. On the new product front, the next batch of 10 superstars will be released on the 20th May - lots more roses planned. And I will get started on expanding the bulk wholesale side of the business very soon - more aromatics and offered in larger weights as standard - likely upto a kilo on the website. Ok I will write again by Monday. Thank you, Adam : )
19th April at 5pm: Quick update to first say I have now added the following big ticket aromatics to the website: Italian Oakwood Absolute, Organic Georgian Rose Raduga Otto and finally Persian P.E.A Intense Rose (Otto). Orders, as I type with exception to 3 orders, every order placed up until the 11th has left with the couriers. By Monday 22nd, all orders placed up until the 14th will leave with couriers and I will type again across Monday with another update. Bulk Wholesale orders that still need to be manually typed and billed will be done so by Tuesday 23rd. Thank you, Adam : )
15th April at 5.30pm: Today I am running behind but I am happy to say that along with all E.U countries, we now can supply to the USA again. USA switched on just now and the Mysore Sandalwood 4 year aged E.O offer is extended for a week for USA clients to enjoy too. By Wednesday 17th all orders from the 9th April will be dispatched with DHL. Although we are rather full-on with orders at the moment, the lead time will improve significantly very shortly. Reason being since reopening the focus has been solely on building stocks up and we have staff coming on as well now (at last!). I will write again on Wednesday regarding lead times. This week my tasks are to get on top of the SDS we are owed by the company we have employed to handle this. And other than this I am adamant I will update the bulk wholesale list with more aromatics. Finally for now - the following 11 aromatics have recently been added to the site - French Rose Geranium E.O, Sandalwood Mysore E.O 4 Year Aged, Tuscan Olive Leaf Absolute, Mitti Attar (Petrichor), Persian Queen of Roses (Otto), Tomato Leaf Absolute, Oud Assami Skank E.O V.1, South Indian 10 Year Aged Vetiver E.O, Bengali Nagarmotha E.O, VIolet Leaf Concrete, Italian Helichrysum Absolute S.G. Thank you, Adam : )

Adam Michael has this to say “The experience of smelling ambrette seed absolute throughout its development paints a picture in my mind of an old charming English garden full of fragrant flowers in full bloom, happy bees, birds chirping, overgrown grass, tall mature trees, children playing. The scent of love and innocence swirling around and flooding the air, whilst clothes sway back and forth on the washing line in the afternoon’s gentle summer breeze.
The top notes to my nose are powdery musk, comparable to the heart notes within angelica root minus the earthy and vegetative qualities. The middle notes are layered in a truly exquisite fashion. First I detect a soft subtle woodiness with a fleeting hazelnut character that I associate with smelling santalol natural isolate – obtained from sandalwood. Slowly I detect the rich musk qualities with a lot of white floral character – notably fleeting notes of magnolia and Oriental wonder. The base notes are a glorious rich sweet musk and dried earth infusion. A truly stunning material that’s free from the fatty vegetative qualities of both the CO2 and the essential oil offerings, this absolute has a much longer shelf life and dilutes effortlessly in alcohol.
Ambrette seed absolute can be considered as a very good fixative and highly substantive, adds richness to floral, fruity and green notes, brilliant for building musk and incense bases and developing amber, chypre, fougere and woody accords. This material is golden water white, of a pourable viscosity and produced by molecular distillation from ambrette seed essential oil.”

One of the best things I came across. It is powdery, intense, moody – has a pleasant Austrian hay-like smell along with a vanilla like sweetness (not very intense). It lasts ages on skin – 14+ hours even after multiple soap washes
I made my first chypre with it. It blends beautifully with orris resinoid (22%), red champa, tuberose, jasmines (especially ruh of j. sambac), rose (abs and otto), floral ouds, butter, neroil and lot more. Essentially if you want to add some (violet/orris like) powdery muskiness to any creation this is a must.

I am so happy I got this. I am so happy it exists. I am so happy I don’t need to use synthetics or animal derived musks. The powdery dimension this adds is beyond wonderful.

Another masterpiece of a material in Adam’s and Eleonora’s house – this Ambrette seed Absolute.
It is so hypnotizing that i’m smelling it every single day – one of my favorites – but you know – any material i buy from Adam and Eleonora – all of them are my favorites
Absolutely a perfume on its own – warm but fresh, sweet and soft – it lasted on my strip more than for a week – i would buy liters of it …
It’s a Must Have in ones collection – and i really hope it will be available again very soon 🙂
Thank you Adam, Thank you Eleonora – what else to say 🙂 🙂 🙂
