17th March Update at 9.45pm: All retail orders on our books placed between 6th to 13th March will be dispached by no later than the 19th March. All retail orders placed between 14th to 17th March will be dispatched by no later than the 22nd March. Thank you, Adam )
8th February Update at 1.40pm: The website has now been tweaked with the message below. Until early May we now supply to European Union countries only. By early May we will be better organised and able to handle a much larger workload per day. Once in place, USA, Hong Kong and United Arab Emirates will be switched back on. I have also updated the FAQ and mention this within that page. On the new product front, within the next 3 weeks, I am releasing Tuscan Green Olive Absolute Signature Gold, this project has been two years in the making, the end result is the most incredible olive absolute you will ever experience - it is light years superior to the Egyptian offering we and others carry. I am also going to release Italian Oakwood absolute, another custom production for Hermitage, plus I'll introduce Violet Leaf Concrete, and at least one of my 5 new Persian Rose Ottos for sale. If time allows I am going to release a wonderful Mitti Attar and two new Nagarmotha offerings as I want to put together a collection for Nagarmotha to showcase the vast differences in profile you can obtain. And finally I am definitely going to ramp up the wholesale list even further by introducing many more of our existing aromatics this month with wholesale options. Thank you and I will write again now here across early next week. Adam : )

Adam Michael has this to say “Cardamom essential oil within massage is useful for those suffering with nausea, flatulence and diarrhoea, easing the griping pains that often accompany it. Produced by steam distillation of the seeds, yellowish in colour and of a pourable viscosity. The plant has been used in Eastern traditional medicine for over 3,000 years, being mentioned in Vedic medical texts. Via the Middle East cardamom was imported into ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome and the Egyptians used it both in perfumes and incenses.
Both Hippocrates and Dioscorides mention it, the latter describing it as good for sciatica, coughs, spasms, abdominal pains and retention of urine. In India cardamom is used very widely as a digestive aid, both in the form of a spice added to food, and as a medicament. Indian use also confirms some of Dioscorides’ descriptions, particularly for coughs, and as a diuretic. But the most important and widespread use in India is as an aphrodisiac. There is no real evidence that cardamom essential oil has any physiological effect, but it is both tonic and stimulant so may act indirectly. Although there is no evidence that cardamom is a skin irritant, you should exercise caution and always dilute especially well prior to use on anybody with a sensitive skin.”

Beautifully elegant, hits me with slight grassy, woody notes over the remarkable spice main. Makes my men’s fragrances really attractive .
Overall it’s a superior product with superior customer service, thank you so much, Adam

One of my favourite spice materials, works well in traces and even when I overdose the mixes. I like cardamom, so an overpowering smell of it, is fine by me and my nose.
