The TEST order to Australia was a success, sailing through customs like pre-covid times. Therefore, in September (so after our holiday) Australia will be added back to the list of countries we can supply. Next, when we are off work in August, I am musing on cutting the offering of natural isolates and essential oils we offer by as many as 30 lines. I will touch on this more in the final newsletter and welcome thoughts from clients. Also, before we close for the holiday, I will be uploading Egyptian Orange Blossom Absolute, however it won’t be for sale as a standalone material (it also won’t make for a pleasant reading at all) BUT will feature in September’s new product releases, which includes an Orange Blossom and Neroli sample set. In September I have some more big-ticket releases lined up, including two possible oud custom distillations exclusive for Hermitage. I also have sourced more protium copal resin plus a wonderful peppery elemi resin. And the updated wholesale list that will feature more aromatics will be available to download at the start of September. Please remember if you are in the E.U, the last time for placing an order is the 27th July. And in preparation of our August holiday, all NON-E.U shipping destinations have now been switched off from our website. Thanks to all who support us and kind regards, Adam : ) Dismiss
Adam Michael has this to say “This pourable material is apple sweet, very juicy and so good I want to drink it. I also detect a fleeting note of sweet banana powder within the heart notes, reminiscent to the taste of the Nesquik banana milkshake drink. This is a fun, bright, cheerful, innocent, inexpensive material that will be of great use to those creating fruit themed compositions.”
This is a masterpiece material from a highly esteemed Grasse based producer. Whilst the exact recipe so to speak is proprietary information this apple liquid 100% is an all-natural compound creation.

This is an incredible and versatile product. Surprisingly long-lasting for a fruity natural and so delicious that it could work as a complete perfume per se. I can smell the acidic nuances in the fleeting ‘top notes’ to mouth-watering apple jam in the ‘heart’. The less diluted the meatier, so to achieve the acidic aspect I recommend going as far as 2% or 3%.
It’s very easy to use and complement bitter-ish resins (such as Myrrh) very well, also allowing for exquisite combinations with spices and green herbs, such as Verbena. I think its clear banana hint makes this product a perfect match for Ylang Ylang, especially the Grade 3 offerings, adding an intoxicating nuance to it.

This is exactly what it promises to be, a very true-to-life juicy apple scent that activates the salivary glands with its sweet-tart succulence. Has good tenacity for something so sheer and fruity, but definitely shines brightest during the first half-hour.
