17th April at 2.15pm: Quick update to say all orders placed on the 9th have been collected just now by DHL. Orders placed on the 10th and 11th will all leave by the 19th. I will type again on Friday regarding orders placed from the 12th onwards. Other news, by Friday I am releasing a few more very big ticket rarities including our Italian Oakwood Absolute and a super grail rose otto. 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 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.”
Botanical Name: Cynara cardunculus
Origin: Egypt

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.

My bottle shows batch code fr20, exp. 2023. Compared with other Artichoke absolutes in my collection, this material has a pronounced and unmistakeable Watercress scent: peppery-sulfurous and spicy. I got that material last year from a company in Egypt, and it smells identical to this. So I wonder, what happened? It’s marvelous, though: check out Azzaro’s “Bois precieux”, which has a similar note hidden in the blend.
