7th November at 11.35am. Update. First, Hermitage Oils website is now closed for the rest of 2023. No more orders are being accepted and all countries have been removed from the website at checkout, to prevent orders from being placed whilst we are off work. Apologies if I sound like a broken record, but politely I have received so many emails asking about placing orders already. I am now putting an out of office message in place on the email and website contact page. As soon as all orders have been delivered - we are then properly off work for the rest of 2023. Sincerely, we need a proper break as the stress of this year has become too great. On a brighter note, the following SDS are now uploaded onto the website and available to clients by logging in to your account and going to the section titled SDS (assuming you have purchased the product) ... Blue Lotus Absolute, Bergamot Mint E.O, Clove Bud Absolute, Apple Liquid, Chamomile Roman E.O, Cognac Green Signature Gold E.O, Costus Root E.O, Eucalyptus Absolute, Cocoa Absolute Signature Gold, Geranium Chinese E.O, Frankincense Rivae E.O, Buddha Wood E.O and Cedarwood Himalayan E.O. The business handling the conversion still needs to hand over about 60 more SDS and as we receive them, they will be uploaded onto the website. Thank you, Adam : )
Joseph Colbourne has this to say “Carbon dioxide extracted from anhydrous milk fat, this Butter CO2 from the UK gives me the urge to grab a tub of popcorn and settle into a movie. Deliciously rich, salty, with notes of cheese that could easily play off contrasting notes in a blend for unique effects. A velvety sweet, creamy sheen develops in the drydown, with the base lingering on the strip for several hours. It’s lactonic, fixative quality makes it useful in giving creamy character to white florals, fruits, sandalwood or as a means of extending coconut or massoia bark. Light florals can be given more depth through its use. Furthermore, it can provide just the right ‘body’ for gourmand blends, adding dimension to caramel and vanilla notes”
This is quite a novelty material, serving no purpose therapeutically. May find use amongst perfumers and other creative soles.

Butter CO2 is one of those things in life you buy with the mantra “heh, why not?”. I’m the kind of person that often orders the strangest dish anywhere I go just to let life surprise me, making an investment in knowledge rather than certain pleasure. Good thing, then, that this is an amazing offering and highly recommended to anyone who loves tweaking things bit by bit.
Greasy, salty, milky, it is all you expect from butter, but not just that. I’ve already used it to turn a rather bland Sandalwood into a Mysore-like powerhouse (highly diluted and with a bit of Coconut CO2), for example. Mixing it with Coffee (mind you!), I was able to create a cozy aura that is hard to explain, but very familiar and loved to us, Brazilians.
Even if some courses had led me to catastrophe (Butter and Geranium, what the heck was I thinking?), this is one of the funniest materials to work with in my collection.

On its own it’s like butterscotch creamy buttery salty, I am having a hard time to figure out how to use this one combined with other materials. Used it a while ago with coffee CO2 alc soluble and cacao colorless and some basenotes. It turned out foul smelling and I am scared to work with it again. I figure it needs to be diluted…same goes for the coffee and cocoa I suppose.

Its a wonderful smell of salty butter material that blends well with cocoa ,vanilla and coffee absolute to create a creamy luxurious blend..

Butter CO2 is a very strongly Ghee-scented aroma that gives a beautiful milky-buttery aroma to a blend in minute amounts. And emphasis on the minute is given, as it can easily overpower a perfume.

A very natural, true to life salty butter smell that if blended with the right materials, will add that little bit of something special thats often hard to find.

This is my 2nd attempt at trying to work with butter co2, I gave up last time as it seemed greasy, rancid and overpowering, a bit like ghee can come across until you know it better. Now I get it! Minute quantities to enhance, smooth anchor and creamify other things… I even added a little to a popcorn tincture I’d made just for fun!

Great discovery, I have been looking for something like this a long time. I like gourmand notes and I even used some synthetic butter but this one is completelly natural and lovely. I don’t use it only for gourmand perfumes but for softening and modifying other kinds of non-gourmand notes. It’s quite one dimensional, which is a practical thing to work with like if you had a solid colour on your perfume palette. If you want real butter, you will get exactly what you want!

Intense, sharply lactonic and animalistic to my nose too. Unique material but I found it hard to combine it, to harmonise it. Yet, as I am writing this, I managed to in an obviously strong and fully gourmand composition, so I am kind of proud of myself that I managed to include it 😀

If anyone has ever been in a Hare Krishna kitchen there is often a subtle sweet and pure aroma. Myself, I had wondered what is the secret of that mystical smell. This is that smell in the bottle. It was a question in my mind in fact, and when I started using the oil- I felt like the multiverse was answering a question that literally popped up in my head. It is different when one smells it out of the bottle and when one wears it after a few minutes. It sort of mellows out. For me I also find great success using this oil for skin. I have also mixed the butter co2 into some of my blends with good result.

Salty, buttery, creamy…this CO2 extract will add a layer of buttery goodness wherever it is used. Useful in gourmand compositions, or to give a buttery edge to certain resins like sandalwood, this versatile substance might be a bit puzzling at first. But it is more useful and versatile than you might initally expect…just go easy and be patient with the learning process on this one…a little goes a long way. I find this to be one of those “Just a Pinch” materials, like Honey Provence or fenchyl alcohol, so dilution strength is key here.
