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 “Benzoin resinoid has the ability to stimulate at the same time as soothe, it seems to ‘get things moving’ in the body, whether it is clearing mucus, stimulating the circulation, expelling gas or increasing the flow of urine. It is very comforting for griping pains in the stomach, and for urinary tract infections.
Like myrrh and frankincense, benzoin has been used for thousands of years as an ingredient of incense, and to drive out evil spirits, and like these two it is both soothing and stimulating. It is also very warming, and this makes it particularly helpful for colds, flu, coughs and sore throats. Its use in the form of Friar’s Balsam, as an inhalation for sore throats and loss of voice, is probably its best known virtue.
50% Benzoin resinoid diluted in 50% DPG, This material has quite a thick consistency but is still easy to work with. Should it be a little difficult just keep it near a warm source for 5-10 minutes and it will be easy to work with. (Maybe place the bottle on a radiator but make sure the cap is on! or submerge the bottle, up to the neck, in a bowl of hot water.)”

Benzoin may be the resin I appreciate the least, but it is an outstanding material. This offering makes this tricky substance much easier to work with in exchange for some of the natural’s oomph, a trade-off I’m satisfied to take. It reminds me of ‘champagne’, whereas Styrax makes me think of brandy and Labdanum evokes whiskey to my mind.
It is somewhat sparkly, understated and, as a friend says, shy, carrying its duties as a long-lasting uncomplicated base note with aplomb. Adding a bit of Moss and highly diluted Black Pepper Absolute to it creates the illusion of bubbles exploding in your nose, making the champagne aspect shine. My favorite combination, though, is mixing it with Iris and/or ionones for a treat of olfactory plush that lasts for hours.

This is a lushly sweet resin, beautifully rounded with notes of chocolate, ripe fruits, vanilla, honey and hints of patchouli. It has a warm, rounded and plush enveloping character. Long lasting and perfect for sweet oriental or gourmand accords this is a joy in the bottle. It is so rich it can almost perform as a perfume on its own.

One of the first resinous materials I started out with, its versatility really surprised me. If you’re not careful, it can really overtake a perfume if you aren’t wise with it, and it still dominates for about a month until it macerates, but once it melds together with the other materials it becoems truly beautiful. Works well with orange, but my favourite was a petitgrain and carnation creation I made. Avoid using it with cedrat, this combo smells like a hangover.
