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 “Also known as rosewood, Bois de Rose essential oil is produced by steam distilling the wood chippings from the Indian Aniba rosaeodora tree and is water white in colour and of a pourable viscosity.
Aromatically speaking the key component of bois de rose essential oil is linalool which accounts for 74% of this material. This Indian material whilst slightly more subdued in its opening notes is still incredibly fresh smelling, cleansing, light watery floral breezy, with gorgeous woody and light spice nuances throughout. Whilst the Brazilian material we used to offer had more spectacular opening notes, this Indian material has more staying power in my opinion and more useful for top note and heart note modifications compared with the Brazilian material which I chiefly regarded as a top note enhancer.
Imparts freshness and sparkling character to floral, lavender, woody and citrus accords, useful for brightening up herbaceous bouquets and blends especially well with most petitgrain materials.”
Botanical Name: Aniba rosaeodora
Origin: India

Yes, Adam, you are right : a sparkling opening note at the crossroad between lavender, petit grain and, in a minor proportion, bergamot. I reviewed the “linalool laevo” natural isolate before, this one is richer and even more potent. It brings an exquisite natural touch to the herbal spicy heart I am currently working on.
Sarah J (verified owner) –
This is gorgeous, a fantastic combination of a delicate petitgrain/citrus/neroli, star anise/delicate fennel, high altitude lavender, and I think a V anilla / Tonka Pemou or minty Palo Santo, with floral rosey green petals!
Justine O’ (verified owner) –
A woody, warm and waxy floral, …terpenic, a potent meeting of sweetly-souring wilting roses, held on a warm and woody base of pink peppercorns and coriander seed.
There’s a champagne-like top note of rose and lime, palo santo, petitgrain and lavender.
The linger is a softer form of all this..a woody sour warm floral, also having a touch of metallic on my skin, and at the end becoming a marrying of lavender and tonka bean.

Super. Woody and fresh in the same time. No sweetness as in all other woody oils. Goes perfect with citrusy and fresh aromas. Ideal for dry, mature skin.

Simply elegant,woody and rosy,citrusy with a sharpness that sparkles like crazy in the bottle..wow..
Whitney Swales (verified owner) –
This Bois de Rose is wonderful! I have rosewood leaf and do like it, however, this is much more useful when the goal is to provide a subtle but effective lift to a perfume composition. I will definitely be buying more of this soon!
John (verified owner) –
This high quality oil is both uplifting and very calming.
As usual, others before me have provided far better descriptions than I could ever muster! This has a delicate floral top note, which I find difficult to believe comes from wood chippings.
Gabriella C (verified owner) –
Lovely woody, rosy green!
Oiland (verified owner) –
The most uplifting oils from the woods. Spark of freshness with woody accords and pinch of smoke. Good material for cosmetic use.
Robert (verified owner) –
This is a great sustainable alternative to the Brazilian stuff, I think I even like it a lot more! It’s fresh and doesn’t have sour edges as rosewood sometimes does
Alexandre D (verified owner) –
A splendid rose wood oil. I can confirm previous reviews of this material. Here is my two cents. It was important for me to smell it on the strip. Smelling it from the bottle sometimes works to get a good first impression of the material but with this oil I had to get “closer” to it in order to appreciate its many facets. It has the fresh and green notes described above but also a floral dimension that unfolds as the scent progresses. It is not an overpowering scent or material (in my super limited experience) and can be added to give depth to almost any concoction.
