Adam Michael has his to say “This hay essential oil hails from Austria. A very interesting aroma of medium longevity that smelling from the bottle is dry woody with distinct sweet hay and barnyard nuances throughout. Applied to the skin this material is a noticeable dry woody, balsamic and somewhat rooty vetivert affair with a strong animalic and musty hay presence that holds it altogether. Produced by co-extracting hay grown at high altitude with cedarwood, ambery coloured and of a pourable viscosity.
Hay essential oil is a highly versatile material with an abundance of uses – a must for dry woody accords and I think this material was born for building and sexing up leather orientated perfumes, great also for building lavandin accords, pairs really well with cedarwood oils, especially Virginian and Chinese materials as well as working great with nitromusks and ionones. A must also for building animalic bases, leather bases and for further developing patchouli and tobacco notes and creating oriental bouquets. This material could also be of use within chocolate gourmand creations as there is a clear yet albeit fleeting chocolate note within this material. A great material and highly recommended by me. We also now sell a beautiful hay absolute here.”

More than a week ago i opened a bottle with Adams Austrian Hay and said – ok, it’s nice …
But when i applied it onto my skin – it was – OH MY GOD !!!
Immediately i detected some vetiver, some sandalwood, a hint of patchouli and honey, and after few seconds it was an explosion of an non existing, mild but incredibly balsamic, mint on this earth – some kind of an alien mint that i could feel not only in my nostrils, but even in my mouth !!!
Vetiver for me here is a dominating note – and call it if you wish an Austrian Hay – unbelievable !!!
I’m going to use it a lot, and especially would like to try a combination with Cambodian Oud and some of white sweet flowers with fresh fruity notes.
Mamma Mia – my rating is 1000 plus more !!!

If you love the smell of dry hay and clean hay smell from very expensive Hindi oud oils (here I am talking about oils that costs £100+ per gram), rejoice and get this. From my experience, it also goes nicely with rose, vetiver, patchouli, Chinese oud, leather.

A real smell of mowed hay. Last weeks I smelled this when i was walking with my dogs and passed the fields that had been mowed. I haven’t tried it in a blend but I can imagine it would be great in masculine perfumes.

Such an incredible opening and beautiful all the way through. Opens with an intensely deep and smooth balsamic of green hay – a nose filled with cut grass; a huge mound of it steaming in a sun-lit hayloft, mingling with the warm agrestic scent of straw and the sensual animalic aroma of horses drying in the barn, (honey and soft cinnamon spice with leather, styrax and hyraceum).
The dry-down becomes fruitier and more gourmand – a fruit cake whose dried fruits are steeped in brandy, sweet black tea, fig liqueur and milk chocolate. Later, deep down I detect hints of nagarmotha and vetiver, the hay and straw become muskier and everything becomes sweeter, smoother, softer; all still held together on a tenacious and sensual body of honeyed musky hay.

Rich, herbal tea with liatrix). Hay warmed in the sun in the village. I can already hear the cows mooing and the noise of the tractor. In its purest form, it’s less airy, more dense. Low sounding.
Hugs, Medea and Anton.

Wow!!!!In Kristina’s experience, I applied it to my skin too.
And I too felt first the notes of vetiver, then sandalwood, and then…Peppermint!
And it is, indeed, some kind of cosmic mint! Mint from distant shores. From somewhere, from the mountains.
Flowing into the embrace of vetiver.
Wow!!!!Unexpected and awesome!!!
Thank you so much, Kristina.
And, once again, I am convinced of how important it is to share olfactory experiences.
Hugs, Medea and Anton.
