Update 12th May at 9.55pm: First, our order book. The majority of orders placed between the 5th to 7th May have been collected by the couriers, more will be collected tomorrow, and the rest will be collected by the couriers on May 16th. Many easy/quick to assemble orders placed after the 7th have also been collected by the couriers. We are working through the weekend, and I will update again here on Monday concerning lead-times. I am very sorry about the delays and also for the time it is taking me to reply to emails at the moment. Next, good news on the horizon. By mid-late June I will release a 30 year aged labdanum, Persian cypress e.o, Persian neroli e.o, two Nagaland ouds, one jungle- plantation, the other wild, plus cedarmoss absolute, oakmoss absolute – one of my original sources, melonal n.i, guaiacol n.i, my own commissioned saffron oleo resin red gold, olive absolute (possibly two offerings), another flawless Persian rose otto, sandalwood India Royal - a 1930’s vintage Mysore, plus another intro-level oud from Thailand, a two year aged green sacra tincture, a flawless Indonesian sandalwood CO2 that I have been wearing on my forearms every day this week (heavenly and affordable), plus protium copal resin, elemi resin, a full spectrum green coloured royal hojari resin and I am musing on releasing a trial experiment of stock flower extrait by enfleurage – musing because it’s so fleeting. And finally, for the month of May I have released oud wild Assam e.o, oud Thai fruity-spice e.o (intro level oud), Italian 4-fold lemon super concentrate e.o, oud Chanthaburi honey e.o, orris Tuscan absolute 50% (8% Irones) , oud wild tabak e.o (our first quarter of a million euros per kilo aromatic) plus our 20-month aged grey ambergris 3% tincture and our stunning Indian sandalwood sweetie CO2. Thank you to everyone for the support of our business and as always, if its possible, please do leave product reviews on the website. Thanks, Adam : ) Close

Adam Michael has this to say “This castoreum recreation unlike the one previously offered has been re-formulated by the supplier and now consists of a blend of both natural and synthetic components. There are no aromatic differences to speak of – at least to my nose – and this material remains very true to real castoreum materials yet without containing any animal derivatives and therefore makes an excellent alternative to castoreum absolute.
The aroma oozes gorgeous animalic and dry leathery character throughout with leather floral, ambery, musty incense soapy, hop fruit boozy and methyl methylanthranilate qualities. This aroma is less raw when compared with smelling castoreum absolute and the leather jacket smell is far more pronounced. Longevity is impressive but not comparable with the absolute. I would sum this material up as a cleaner, gentler and more feminine orientated castoreum offering.
As for uses, absolutely brilliant material for building dirty rose notes, dark edgy floral accords – especially when used with osmanthus absolute, adds depth to chocolate notes, great for building soft leathery bases and of course works in harmony with tobacco, hay, musky, patchouli and amber materials.“

a real true to natural castoreum with personality that surpass the real castoreum as it is exceptionally well built from the producer to be a complete sex bomb..sweet, animalic, floral with no hard edges around but rather its a complete perfume..first time i accept a rather recreation to be so beautiful and smell so real..although its a tornado and needs to be diluted well cause it can overcome the whole composition..

Ive used real castoreum for years and to my nose this is not the same thing. However that’s not to say I don’t like it, it simply lacks the depth and complexity that makes real castoreum a truly unique ingredient. I live with beavers, they swim through the river that runs by my house and they haul themselves very cutely over my garden to get from A to B. So I struggle with the idea of killing them for their perfumery qualities, even if that quality is in my view aromatically quite extraordinary. So I’m going to vote for this material, I don’t think it compares to real castoreum but it makes a good stab at recreating the experience x
