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 : )

Excellent longevity, easily detectable on my smelling strip after five days. Dry out is earthy, agrestic and just unmistakably, distinctively gorgeous, …. tobacco. Produced by solvent extracting dried tobacco leaves (Burley variety), viscous liquid and the colour is dark greenish brown to black-brown.”

I have just tried a tiny bit of it. It is amazing neat, it gets even better diluted. At 20% it gets creamy, rounded, dark. At 10% or less, it becomes fern, feral, wild. It lasts an obscene amount of time, a perfect base note.
I never had it in me to create something with it since I bought this gem, though. Wife can’t stand it, she can feel even trace amounts of tobacco anywhere. I haven’t blended it, created accords or done any of the nice things. Pity, maybe I’ll have to sell it.
Anyway, a masterpiece offering, indeed.

Excellent tobacco absolute which recalls the scent of a well filled box of fine cigars. There is a slightly fruity undertone reminiscent of tinned peaches or apricots, and a just a hint of an animalic quality but nothing offputting, It makes an intriguing accord in combination with the new vetiver hydrodistilled from Hermitage and will be invaluable for the creation of tabac blends and masculine perfumery generally.

Finally got my first tobacco and burley is fantastic. Has a lovely colour and such a rich smell. Does wonders for my dark, smokey and mature mixes.

My favorite tobacco ever! Glad it doesn’t have nicotine otherwise I’d be addicted! What I love about this material is its full fruity heart & long smooth draw. It is amply supported by a complexity of smoke, earth & hay. It loses its full aromatic profile in 45 minutes yet persists as an echo for long after that. I have used it to good effect, in small amounts, in artemisia and earth blends.

Amazing quality of rich, deep,sweet and sexy oil..you can wear it alone ..actually i could say its smoked oud oil with saffron together .Do not ignore this oil as if is a strange cigarette material in a bottle. ..Its one of the most Masculine oils ever!

A fantastic odor , a perfume all by itself ! fantastic also with rose for an oriental feminine perfume

This is divine. I have tried a number of tobacco absolutes on the market and this one stands apart in that it is completely absent of the dank and skanky scent I have detected in some offerings. This one is completely smooth and refined. It smells exactly like raw cut burley tobacco with a faint hint of a cedar humidor in the background or a freshly unwrapped cigar. It is very blonde smelling, smooth. The best tobacco I’ve got my nose on, though I’ve not yet sampled the Virginia offering that Hermitage has.

It is the first tobacco absolute I put my nose in, so remember that it is not experience that talks here.
Burley tobacco smells to me quite dark and rich. Surprisingly, I cannot get rid of pictures of dried fruits popping up in my head… especially dried figs! I am almost able to taste fig seeds with sparkling quality of this oil… Awesome experience!

Excellent with Patchouli, Oakmoss and Vetiver!

The reviews dont lie, this is my favourite smelling absolute on its own. I could bury my nose in the bottle for hours. Dont hesitate if your looking for a deep, rich, masculine tobacco. The mind is filled with possibilities when you smell this one.
John (verified owner) –
I bought this as someone who loves all things tobacco, and hoping to get my hands on that smell of dried uncut leaves or of a well-stored cigar. And it didn’t disappoint! Having said that, to me, this smells slightly ‘damper’ and ‘fruitier’ compared to plain old tobacco.
Paschalis Gkesios (verified owner) –
I can see the “animatic” aspect someone else mentioned ,I get more herbal quality than tobacco scent.
I was expecting more,maybe I should select one of the other varieties offered.
It was tricky to dilute it,it gets cloudy and seems to fall a out of solution in ethanol.
Justine O’ (verified owner) –
Stunningly smooth, deep and rich and round, this is a fruity herbal and pungent tobacco absolute – mellow and tenacious and brimming with strong, sweet fruity black tea, soft sweet leather, green apples, hay, wet fur and the sensual warmth of horses, all languoring together in a hay barn.
The dry-down brings a tobacco of dried apricots, sweet figs, red roses on-the-turn and chocolate. Such a sexy and sophisticated tobacco absolute with a feral heart.

Tobacco absolute Burley. Ive tried many kinds of tobacco and this is my favorite one without a doubt. It has a pleasant mildness and slight sweetness compare to others. Goes beautifully with woods and some sweet ingredients.
MHB (verified owner) –
this is a beautiful material. I ordered all tobacco varieties to compare and I have not used them in any blends yet. but, out of bottle and on strips I like what I smell and it is basically smell of tobacco leaves and is pretty long-lasting too. perfect for base notes!
Martin H (verified owner) –
Very beautiful, almost addictive scent. Rich, sweet tobbaco.
Paul V (verified owner) –
I have tried a few tobacco absolutes, but this one is truly special! My tobacco absolute recreation would be thin and lifeless without this absolute. Rich, dark, earthy, tobacco, complex, with dried fruits. An irreplaceable staple in my organ.
Anton Bulychev (verified owner) –
Once again, a masterpiece! With notes of dry, chocolate shavings. Hayy, cigar-like, bean-thin.
Beautiful stuff!!!!
Hugs, Medea and Anton
