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 “This Bulgarian rose absolute is very different in aroma profile from the dewy pink petal goodness of our Rose Absolute Pink Supreme. Instead this material goes more in a velvety red rose direction. Warm, spicy-floral, very rich, indulgent, full blown red roses and ever so slightly honey sweet.
The power of this rose absolute is insanely good, always so rich and fulsome, always red rose floral, and underpinned with delicate spice nuances throughout. 18 hours on the smelling strip, fire red in colour, of a pourable viscosity and of course produced by solvent extraction of the Bulgarian rose petals.
If you are wanting to create Oriental themed attars and perfumes then this rose is a must, pairs especially well with oud, tobacco, beeswax, hay, jasmine and countless other naturals. This rose gets the very best out of other materials and rounds out any harsh notes in the process.”
An old story about roses involving the ancient Hindu legend and supposed creator of the world, Brahma. It is said that Brahma and Vishnu (the protector of the world) argued over whether the lotus was more beautiful than the rose. Vishnu backed the rose, while Brahma supported the lotus. But Brahma had never seen a rose before and when he did he immediately recanted. As a reward Brahma created a bride for Vishnu and called her Lakshmi – she was created from 108 large and 1008 small rose petals.

OMG i never thought that an absolute would make me feel after sniffling it from the bottle so expanded and my feelings so calm ..im always into heavy attars so ill blend it with oud and saffron resinous amber sweety to create an oriental gem..a high quality rose absolute that im sorry i didn’t bought more stuff to have in my collection just in case . …

Wow! This is intoxicating and is totally different in character from other rose materials I own, giving a distinct ‘Bulgarian’ flavour to blends.
It’s quite dead. Dead in a good way, that vague hint of decay from roses that have just started to wilt in a vase, not jammy or bright like a Ta’if Absolute more Geraniol biased rose. Adds a naturalistic touch to rose accords for me and it’s extremely complex, deep and powerful and a beautiful red colour too.

Very good high quality natural rose scent. I have blended this with Jasmine sambac and Sandalwood Mysore etc. to create a luxurious Attar.
This product can be used in almost any blend to improve the overall character of the composition.

The way this Absolute wraps all notes together in the drydown is priceless!

Often, Bulgarian rose absolute is slightly spicier than the Turkish variety, and this product from Hermitage is typical in that respect, with a fruitiness recalling stewed prunes rather than berries or lychee, as may be found in other absolutes. The odour profile here is floral, honeyed and jammy, with notes of carnation, pepper and geranium that lend strength and character, over a dark, suave, tobacco and animalic background. Powerful, heavy and substantive, this absolute boasts good body and potent, oriental charm.

This Rose Absolute is incredible. I bought this with one of my first orders in 2019 and thought I wouldnt use it much as rose reminds me a little of old ladies perfume… how wrong I was. It’s my most used floral and its not even close. Which reminds me, I must order a new bottle soon!

Fantastic, clean, powdery rose. No decay. Rich and sweet. Simply beautiful and versatile.

I am giving only a three star rating because I think the description is not correct. The scent is lovely, I really like the scent from the bottle and it is interestingly different from others roses I’ve smelled in that it’s less sweet, it smells like dried petals perhaps which can be desirable. But it’s not “insanely powerful”, 18 hours on the smelling strip apparently does not equal how long it lasts on the skin. I smell it for about 5-10 minutes. I guess if you are very rich you could buy wholesale and use it as a nice body lotion. However, for me and my meager savings 14 euros for a milliliter of oil is a lot of money (maybe not expensive for rose, but for me it is). That is why I was disappointed, especially because the scent is so nice and it would be great if it lasted longer on the skin, but it just evaporates within minutes. The consistency is very thin. Still, I do like the scent and in a pure rose perfume it would function well as a top note. I can definitely imagine it being used in cosmetics for the face (face oil) or hands (hand cream) where other oils might be too overpowering, though, in hand cream you would have to use a lot and it would be expensive. I am not sure if I would order it again though I do like the scent and will try it as a top note in compositions. Maybe that will be interesting and I will order more in the future, it is just not what I was expecting because of the description.

This rose absolute is rich, it has a deep “red” sparkle with a strong oriental tilt. You would not find this type of rose in a Dior or Channel perfume but certainly in the oils you find in the middle-east. This absolute is quality and powerful.
