2nd October at 9.05pm: All orders placed upto the 20th September will be dispatched by tomorrow. All orders received up until the 25th September will be dispatched by 6th October. I will provide dispatch times here, for orders placed from 26th October to 28th October on 6th October. Thanks, Adam : )
September at 5.30pm: First apologies for not writing here yesterday as intended. As I type all orders placed upto the 15th September, will be dispatched by tomorrow with couriers, and orders placed upto the 16th will all leave by Friday 29th. Orders placed on the 17th will leave by Monday 2nd October. And on Monday 2nd October I will provide dispatch times for orders placed on the 18th to the 20th September. So at the moment the lead-time is about 2 weeks from placing your order. Normally what happens is we reopen, many orders come in and then things slow down and we normalise. However in this instance I suspect it won't happen this way. As we close in October (see below) I am seeing regulars buying much more to cover themselves across the period we are closed. Add to this my wholesale work which is now coming in really fast - as I have started sending out the stock reduction list, and therefore I forecast a 2 week lead time all the way to closing. Meaning once we stop taking orders - It's probable I will still need 2 weeks to finish before I can close properly for the year. Therefore if you do want something, plan ahead please and only buy if you can wait as with the utmost respect, I am not letting anyone queue-jump, even if they go on to tell me they haven't seen these updates.
On the subject of the stock reduction list - due to lack of time, I have to create it in two parts. Part one covers aromatics A-K and part two will be sent out on email (to those on the list) on October 6th. Regarding the new releases, they will happen, this I promise but I can't get that job done for this Sunday now. I'll need until mid October to make that happen. If you are interested in the new releases all I can advise is to keep checking back here as I will confirm the release date before, well, releasing the new aromatics! On the subject of Ambergris, it's a really touchy topic for me at the moment and I am going to comment on this in more detail shortly, but note I am rethinking decisions concerning ambergris. Back here with a final update on Friday afternoon. Thanks, Adam : )
22nd September at 4.35pm: A quick progress update. By Monday 25th all orders received up to September 11th will be dispatched. By Friday 29th all orders received up to September 16th will be dispatched. Of course, be assured I will push to get as many orders as possible dispatched. For business clients waiting on a copy of the stock-reduction-list, this will be emailed across to you by Wednesday 27th. I will be taking tomorrow off completely for family time and will be back at work across the early part of Sunday afternoon. Next mini update here will be on Tuesday 26th. Thank you, Adam : )
19th September at 6.55pm: Right, update time. First, I am now working on the orders placed from 1st to 17th September and I think within 7-10 days maximum they will all be dispatched, along with the gifts : ) Next, I am going to release Kerala Indian Sandalwood 1953 E.O by Sunday 1st October, along with Organic Moldovan Pink Rose Musk Otto, 20% White Ambergris Aged tincture and Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol by Fermentation. If I can find the time I will also release another Assami grown Oud (plantation) and a vintage offering of Indian Vetiver E.O and Red Myrrh E.O (sublime profiles) that I have held back for the past year now. Regarding closing for 2023 in October (please read below) I need to kindly put on record that I won't be able to make exceptions for clients - even those who have become friends, and to please keep this in mind and plan ahead should you need something specific from Hermitage. I will write again by the end of the week and thank you very much to everyone for the continued support. Adam : )
18th September Update. Please read carefully.
Although a month away, I need to announce that the LAST ORDER TIMES FOR 2023 ARE AS FOLLOWS:
🦋Non.EU Countries 18th October at 9pm Italy time. 🦋
EU Countries 25th October at 9pm Italy time. 🦋
Then once all orders are dispatched and delivered, we will close and reopen by mid-January 2024/as soon as the laboratory is finished.
Also please note as of 30th September we will stop offering ambergris aromatics for sale.
Thank you, Adam : )
Joseph Colbourne has this to say “A diffusive, effulgent, all-natural proprietary blend, blackcurrant liquid is clear and of a pourable viscosity, and it sure is a tart, sweet delight. Unlike blackcurrant buds absolute, there is little cat urine to speak of here; on the contrary, it is jammy, luscious, confectionery deliciousness, reminiscent of not only blackcurrant, but also blackberries, strawberries, snozzberries, you name it.
Lest we mention that it also has the qualities of fruit punch, lollipops, candied violets, and yet more playful, dandy sweetness that sustains with favorable longevity (10 hours plus). What a pleasurable way to conjure up memories of childhood. This is so delectable and addictive—I cannot stop smelling the test strip. Use in forest berries accords, fruity florals, mouthwatering gourmands, or for intriguing contrast in dry or damp woods blends.”

I love blackcurrant to a fault and this offering is everything I could dream of: mouthwatering, persistent and easy to work with. Miles ahead of the synthetic materials in every aspect and somewhat affordable, since a little goes a long way, this is a perfect option for pretty much any artisan perfumist.
This little gem works really well in fresh creations alongside green herbs, Mint and Wormwood, citrus oils (especially Mandarin Red) and pale woods, although I don’t recommend blending it with Calone. It can also be used both in fresher oriental creations and more opulent ones, working as head-space in the former and as jammy delight in the latter.
I’m actually actively trying to find out something that won’t benefit from a few drops of this.

A very potent liquid. By itself, it may be jammy and sweet, but when used in perfume it easily becomes domineering if your hand is too free and begins to show other facets of itself: a cold burning side to it, camphorous, and it can control your creation if paired poorly with other oils.

Very versatile stuff! Great and accurate blackcurrant smell, a little goes a long way! Can sweeten up any blend. Very useful!

When sniffling this material you are not sure what to do first..drink it? Lick it or shout WOW!!! and because is easy to carry away with this candie sweet blue gem use it in moderation because it can over empower your perfume.and there is nothing to do to help it..such a tornado!

I smells fantastic! But what kind of extraction method is used to get a “liquid”?
Angelika (verified owner) –
Maybe my expectations were too high regarding this material but it’s a bit like chewing gums for me. From the other hand, I really like it in compositions with a certain depth. Blackcurrant liquid rounds those accords and gives them a pinch of joy.

My favorite perfume is Chamade by Guerlain, I make my own Chamade (so disapointed by the new guerlain product ! ) Blackcurrant liquid product gives a really fruity fresh head note without any cat urine observed with blackcurrent absolute

I love the jammy berry scent of this offering, purchased to blend with rose. I am not as sophisticated as many of thee reviewers so I have not tried any elaborate or exotic blends, but have found this easy to work with, and exactly what I needed!
Jolie T (verified owner) –
This is pure fun! Sweet, fruity, berry, jammy- it’s diffusive, effervescent-
It will play with citrus, woods, wine(savanna, spikenard, artemisia), green, as alight touch in florals
It is strong , needs dilution.
This is whimsical, fantasy, with nothing but ease, a lot of fun!

Open the bottle and arrive at sweet berry candy land!! You can feel the fun, youthful, playful, jammy energy just oozing out. Had my first go with it recently and will need to back off quite a bit. Yes, I can confirm with another reviewer that a little def goes a long way haha! TY Herm.oils!
