17th March Update at 9.45pm: All retail orders on our books placed between 6th to 13th March will be dispached by no later than the 19th March. All retail orders placed between 14th to 17th March will be dispatched by no later than the 22nd March. Thank you, Adam )
8th February Update at 1.40pm: The website has now been tweaked with the message below. Until early May we now supply to European Union countries only. By early May we will be better organised and able to handle a much larger workload per day. Once in place, USA, Hong Kong and United Arab Emirates will be switched back on. I have also updated the FAQ and mention this within that page. On the new product front, within the next 3 weeks, I am releasing Tuscan Green Olive Absolute Signature Gold, this project has been two years in the making, the end result is the most incredible olive absolute you will ever experience - it is light years superior to the Egyptian offering we and others carry. I am also going to release Italian Oakwood absolute, another custom production for Hermitage, plus I'll introduce Violet Leaf Concrete, and at least one of my 5 new Persian Rose Ottos for sale. If time allows I am going to release a wonderful Mitti Attar and two new Nagarmotha offerings as I want to put together a collection for Nagarmotha to showcase the vast differences in profile you can obtain. And finally I am definitely going to ramp up the wholesale list even further by introducing many more of our existing aromatics this month with wholesale options. Thank you and I will write again now here across early next week. Adam : )

Adam Michael has this to say “The aroma is boozy, bitter, camphoraceous, dry herbaceous, woody, fruity and extremely tenacious. This material is a softer, lighter aromatic equivalent of absynthe essential oil. As the material dries out, fatty, buttery and somewhat floral nuances are evident. This material is known by lots of common names including Great Mugwort and Giant Mugwort.
In perfumes, balloon blue wormwood oil lends a warm fruity, rich boozy, dry herbaceous note, useful in colognes, chypres, herbal bouquets and fougeres. The material is obtained by steam distilling the leaves and flowering tops, the colour is blue-grey-green and of a pourable viscosity.”
Botanical Name: Artemisia arborescens
Origin: Morocco

A very strong & zesty material with a signature bitter herbaceous approach. Initially the top is expansive. The heart & base are curiously salty, like the sea plus scouring, like a good soap. The floral and fruity undertone strengthens in 1/2 hour and persists for at least 2 more hours. The very end of it’s dry-out (16 hours on the blotter) is surprisingly sweet & floral. A must for the Artemisia Lover!

This with Cypress blue, love, fabulous combo. I adore the inky and blue oils for the anti inflammatory components they offer, this one does not fail.
When I was scouring suppliers for this oil I was looking for that sweet smoky undertone that an older aged artmesia will have, and it is there! (another supplier had this but it didn’t behave or smell like the oil I have come to love over the years) I adore this as an aged oil so I bought two bottles, one to age and one to use. Thank you!

I bought this after I planted some artemisia in my garden. Initially very boozy & juicy & oakwood & whisky/sherry barrels, reminded me of using menthol salts in a bowl of hot water as a kid, and makes the eyes glisten a little.
As the top calms I’m reminded of holidays on the Greek island of Skopelos with the Californian Sierra Nevada mountains.
The Greek memories I’m reminded of the sea and pines & scrubland. It’s like a divine combination of salty criste marine, pine absolute, juniper berry, helichrysum italicum, fenugreek, grapefruit, curry plant & cistus. The oil also reminds me of the cold crisp sunny mountains of Californian of high altitude sugar pine bark, phlox flowers, yarrow, and brushing past sagebrush last July on the edge of a watermeadow.
Tonight I mixed on a smelling strip with Olive Fruity and Sweet Gale, I got a unexpected mix of juicy old fashioned hard wine gums and it’s now turning into interesting sweet herby floral. It’s a fun oil to play with!

This is a powerful sky-blue hydrocarbon, a deep and beautiful blue that seems to cure everything.

Very strongly scented material with a beautiful blue color. I haven’t tried it yet, but its spicy scent may make it suitable for masculine fragrances.
