26th April at 7.35pm: A quick update. Many parcels have left today. The situation is as follows, we still have one order left to process for the 10th (Paris retailer), one for the 11th and a lot more still for the 15th through to the 18th - mostly USA wholesale orders. The plan now is to work on orders across the weekend and by no later than Tuesday 30th - every order placed upto the 18th will be dispatched. Ideally they will all be out by Monday 29th but based on how I called it wrong recently I think it's better to call it for Tuesday. I'll update on order lead times for the 19th onwards on Monday 29th. It goes without saying that I am very sorry about the lead-time but like the lab and staff, it is now just a matter of a month or so before we are better organised, holding larger stocks of each aromatic, and in turn the lead-times will drastically improve going forward. Ok, back on Monday and thank you to everyone for the continued support. Thank you, Adam : )
23rd April at 4.10pm: Unfortunately, regarding the message below and lead-times, I called it wrong. My apologies. As such all orders placed upto the 15th - and about half of those placed on the 16th, will leave by Friday 26th. On Thursday no collections are possible by couriers as it's a national holiday here in Italy. On the subject of SDS, the company handling this for us, has written to me today, acknowledged more are owed to us (submitted in December and January) and that they are now working on producing the final lot of SDS for us. This includes Plantation, Wild and Jungle ouds that many of you ask about. Next, I have spent the past year (literally) sampling ambrette seed e.o and absolutes from various producers and resellers to no avail. They all smell really poor compared to what I carried. They are too nutty, too fatty, too vegetative, too lacklustre, falling away very fast, and really dont showcase the musky textured qualities of a top ambrette properly. Even the big naturals brands are all obtaining and selling sucky poor man's ambrette at the moment. Written as I have decided to move over to carrying ambrette CO2 and this will be in place until I can find a wow absolute and E.O again. CO2 is still not on par with what I had, but it offers a far better profile on the musky front than the abs and e.os in the market place right now. This CO2 will be in stock by early May. Next, we will put all the non.eu destinations we can supply to, back on our website on May 6th - so U.A.E, UK, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and Australia. On the new product front, the next batch of 10 superstars will be released on the 20th May - lots more roses planned. And I will get started on expanding the bulk wholesale side of the business very soon - more aromatics and offered in larger weights as standard - likely upto a kilo on the website. Ok I will write again by Monday. Thank you, Adam : )
19th April at 5pm: Quick update to first say I have now added the following big ticket aromatics to the website: Italian Oakwood Absolute, Organic Georgian Rose Raduga Otto and finally Persian P.E.A Intense Rose (Otto). Orders, as I type with exception to 3 orders, every order placed up until the 11th has left with the couriers. By Monday 22nd, all orders placed up until the 14th will leave with couriers and I will type again across Monday with another update. Bulk Wholesale orders that still need to be manually typed and billed will be done so by Tuesday 23rd. 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 “Beeswax absolute is golden amber in colour and of a solid waxy mass which melts with great ease. The initial aroma is mild honey, sweet, floral, with tenacious middle notes reminiscent of new mown hay with waxy undertones. Beeswax absolute is obtained by alcohol extracting the combs and the honey absolute we offer is obtained by alcohol extraction of the honey (no waxes) and of which is treacle like in consistency and comprises heavily of natural sugars.
In China which is the world’s biggest producer of honey I have learned one practise that happens involves stripping out the inside of the beehive and packing the unrefined contents (honey and waxes) into huge barrels which are shipped to the customer/manufacturer, who will process accordingly. France is one such customer and most of this material will be further processed to produce the clear or set honey we buy in the shops. However some companies obtain this material and alcohol extract it – now technically we have another material which may well be marketed by some as honey or even beeswax absolute but of course this will be different aesthetically, different in odour profile and different in behaviour and no doubt much cheaper as well.”
Arctander has this to say “Beeswax Absolute is useful in perfumes where similar notes occur (as a modifier), or where “rough or chemical” corners of synthetic materials must be rounded off. It blends well into jasmin, mimosa, cassie, violet, new mown hay, “tabac”, etc. as well as in in the so-called “cire d’abeille” perfume base, in which a meadow-like sweetness and heavy, honey-like floral notes are predominant (coumarin, cassione, phenylethyl phenylacetate, helichrysum oil, flouve oil, liatris extract, chamomile, etc.).”

Beeswax feels like diving into a portal of salty-sweet luxurious honey, wind, summer, bodies making love under a tree in a backyard by the pool with the sun blasting onto our skins. This blends unimaginably well with Black Sacra, Hinoki and Sage Dalmatian. This is a gem if used correctly.

This is a gorgeous material. The smell sweet, leathery, a bit animalic (similar to sniffing raw wild honey with honey comb), a beautifully addictive hay. If you like hay smell in artisan ouds from Assam belt, and Malaysia and Indonesia, you’ll adore it.
I have added it in my experimental blends, where it plays really well with aforementioned ouds, vanilla absolute, orris resinoid, myrrh, frankincense, labdanum, tonka, tobacco, ambergris, civet, rose and white, yellow florals and of course sandalwood.

Beeswax is true to its name, it does remind me of a beeswax candle, or even fresh honeycomb (minus the sweetness). A fatty note seems to be characteristic of the absolute, as well as hay. A very nice addition to Linden Blossom CO2, or Honey Lavender to make them even more honey-like.

Beautiful! This is an amazing material of excellent quality and opulence. It improves and smooths out compositions. My florals, especially orange blossom, but also other notes such as rosemary bergamot or petitgrain citronnier, seem to be amplified and last a lot longer with addition of this beeswax material.

Amazing oil.. rich golden sweet Fantasy material from the first sniff..a true gem in the perfumery for any composition..it has the qualities of honey abs but more gourmand even more superior with rich mimosa notes and beautiful orange/ yellow pollen notes as a base of this luxurious syrup..I’m amazed!!
