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 : )
11th April 2023: As I type we now have 2023 season Bergamot E.O FCF Super Premium for sale. Woo-Hoo.
We have selected the green type aroma again for 2023. Reason being we are in love with this aroma profile. The freshness, the juicy candied aspects, the green rind qualities, the tart sparkle, its all here in abundance. This truly is an absolutely gorgeous gold standard Italian aromatic. Thank you, Adam : )
Adam Michael has this to say “As I type I am happy to say after sampling lots of batches of bergamot fcf essential oil here in Italy, I have unearthed one that I love enough to want to offer at Hermitage Oils. This also fits with my objective of offering world class Italian citrus aromatics and showcasing just how stunning citrus oils can really be.
Aromatically this material has instant impact, full of very bright citrus and floral fresh breeze oomph, a green bitter citrus tang, candied aspects, oh so clean, piercing, sparkling, refreshing, addictive, and just absolutely mouth-watering beautiful throughout.
The FC level comes in collectively at 0.48 PPM (parts per million), that’s about 30 times less than what could be offered on the market as bergamot fcf essential oil, and thus what we have here is an IFRA compliant lover’s dream. Cold pressed produced and then rectified to remove the furocoumarins.
A no expense spared bottle of bergamot fcf, a must for the perfumer who uses bergamot and of whom wants to make the perfect opening impressions on his or her clients. The kilo weight is only available to those who reside in the European Union. We now also have a section dedicated to Italian citrus essential oils here.
This material is produced by a world leader of citrus within Italy. If you reside outside of Italy you have to buy this material via the producers official distributors list, who in turn sell smaller weights onto little businesses like Hermitage and our online competition. As we live in Italy we can buy directly and resell the material in small volumes and weights at unbeatable prices. Store this material in the fridge when not in use and you can enjoy this material at its best for 12 months.
USA SHIPPING JUST €8.99 ON ORDERS OVER €350 STARTING FROM MAY 2024 shipping to Rest of the World will resume.

This was the reason I ordered from hermitage, I needed a bergamot that would shine. Adam put it so high up, and all the others I have tried (fcf free) just weren’t cutting it. I bought a lot other stuff, and I a glad I did. And this was just as superb as Adam said: bergamot w elements of citron sweet, petit grain floral, and sparkle. It lifts a bit later, so a late top, just a very pretty reliable bergamot( which is in every single formula)

I love bergamot. This one is wonderful and it is great that it is fcf. The scent is bright and fresh and can be combined with almost any other fragrance.
Robert (verified owner) –
Oh yes, this is up there! Sometimes I struggle with bergamot, it lacks something or is too soapy or old fashioned. This runs rings around any bergamot fcf I’ve ever come across, lively, sparkley and pretty wow actually!
Patrick E (verified owner) –
Fantastic bergamot. Smells cleaner than average, and still has that deep and broad citrus characteristic of bergamot. Very pleasing.
Alexandre C (verified owner) –
I now understand why bergamot is such a staple of perfumery.
I tend to use this one in basically everything which is not ideal for some top notes diversity, but it feels just so right.
Quite surprised it’s so ahead of other bergamot eo i tried considering it has been rectified.
Anatoly V (verified owner) –
Most complete Bergamot that I have ever experienced. It is very clean and complex at the same time, with many subtle nuances.
If I could, that’s the only Bergamot I would ever use
Ulrike S (verified owner) –
Among the Hermitage Citrus collection, this is one of my all time favorites. As a Bergamot addict and someone who cannot live without this particular aromatic, upon receiving Hermitage’s Italian variety, I had to discard all Bergamot previously acquired. It is Bergamot on steroids.
Alexandre D (verified owner) –
This is not just an essential oil. It is stand-alone perfume that I am happy wearing on its own. I can imagine a Hermes cologne modeled solely on this oil. It is simply so good. It has a citrus character which is deep and multifaceted. I wouldn’t be surprised if I was told other citrus oil had been added to it. It also has a subtle floral dimension.

Invest in Adam. I’m serious! Invest in his philosophy, in his passion for beauty and in his best essences. All he sends me is luxury and really strong energy. Thank you, Adam. This bergamot really took my breath away. Excellent as always!
Santeri P (verified owner) –
Bergamot is my favorite citrus, and this is the best bergamot I’ve tried. Enough said! More sparkle and complex floral touches than other citruses. This also lasts longer than most bergamot oils while also having a cleaner scent profile, which makes me suspect many others have been diluted or adulterated…
I got both the yellow 2021 / green 2022 batches, and prefer the green one despite expecting the opposite. It’s got more classic zingy bergamot character. The yellow batch comes across more restrained and not as vibrant, with a slight rose/geranium feel to it. But it all depends on the blend you’re going for.
