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
Adam Michael has this to say “The aroma is very unique opening with a bitter vegetative note (cynaropicrin) that resembles the artichoke leaf perfectly. As the aroma develops I detect meaty, earthy, rich, warm and slightly sweet vegetative notes and all of very good tenacity. Artichoke absolute is a rather interesting Egyptian material that I have obtained with the perfumer in mind and that will be of particular use to those creating a culinary perfume. This material is dark orange in colour, of pourable viscosity and obtained from the leaves of the plant by solvent extraction.”

Artichoke is a compelling absolute as once sniffed, one wants to go back and sniff again and again. For me, it encapsulates the exotic fruit and veg markets of abroad with a familiar nuance of cycling through the British countryside and smelling the melange of vegetables growing in the fields..
There is no bitter note to the nose, as I may have expected. Instead, warmth and succulent notes prevail.
In a blend, we have found it to be a beautiful base, an enriching addition and/or a welcome mystery to a citrus/floral.
