23/07/21 at 17.35pm: Adam Michael here, about to finish for today but before I do I have a little update : )
The TEST order to Australia was a success, sailing through customs like pre-covid times. Therefore, in September (so after our holiday) Australia will be added back to the list of countries we can supply. Next, when we are off work in August, I am musing on cutting the offering of natural isolates and essential oils we offer by as many as 30 lines. I will touch on this more in the final newsletter and welcome thoughts from clients. Also, before we close for the holiday, I will be uploading Egyptian Orange Blossom Absolute, however it won’t be for sale as a standalone material (it also won’t make for a pleasant reading at all) BUT will feature in September’s new product releases, which includes an Orange Blossom and Neroli sample set. In September I have some more big-ticket releases lined up, including two possible oud custom distillations exclusive for Hermitage. I also have sourced more protium copal resin plus a wonderful peppery elemi resin. And the updated wholesale list that will feature more aromatics will be available to download at the start of September. Please remember if you are in the E.U, the last time for placing an order is the 27th July. And in preparation of our August holiday, all NON-E.U shipping destinations have now been switched off from our website. Thanks to all who support us and kind regards, Adam : ) Dismiss
Adam Michael has this to say “Distilled from the seed, carrot seed has a sweet, earthy aroma and is pale yellow in colour. Carrot seed is a good anti- inflammatory, revitalises and tones the skin, used to treat dermatitis, eczema and rashes.
Carrot seed has been used to treat ulcerative conditions of the skin and is a good aid to healthy skin and is said to help control flatulence. It is especially useful in spring months, to undo some of the ravages of the cold winds, over-heated homes and workplaces, and a diet that has perhaps been inadequate in vitamin content during the winter months.”

Breathtaking!
Awakes with a swift blast of sharp, dry herbaceous, medicinal green and camphorous cold wet earth, evolving into an intense shoe shop aroma of new leather, tins of shoe polish and leather balms, mingling with fulsome carrot roots stuck with damp earth.
We then enter a sweet-woody, damp earth of carrots; pressing freshly-pulled organic carrots to the nose, all sweet and softly-spiced with mulch, scented with hints of patchouli and vetiver and brazil nut kernels. The aroma is first moist and cool then becoming warmer, as if an earthy carrot-infused soil is being warmed by the sun, until we are bathing fully in organic carrotiness; an oily carroty dry down before bedding down softly into spiced cinnamon-tinged carrots, slumbering under a smooth tonka bean; a calming powdery carrot wrapped around the deep earthy carrot aroma that has stayed the whole way through.
An enchanting experience on its own, but also adds intrigue and magic as a deep earthy note for woody, earthy, green and floral compositions, especially oakmoss and rose.

Take me to your suede-clad leader! This reminds me of the softest green suede jacket that my aunt owned in the sixties. Never have I felt…or smelt suede like this since. Then when that memory is well established the carrot seed takes the role of warm, comforting hillsides giving an odour and a visual of calm, powdery, earthy peace. Huge fan

I bought this for it’s well-known properties.
As one would expect, this Carrot Seed essential oil seems top quality.
I find the aroma very unique, slightly earthy, slightly herby, and yes slightly carroty!

Great unrated note…used in Un Jardin Sur de Nil fom the Master perfumer Jean Claude Ellena.
Carrot seed is an unusual note in perfumery but a beautiful one nonetheless.
Who never try it, please this is a must buy.
