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 : )
Adam Michael has to say “So as I type its 11th August 2022 and after three years of searching yours truly has scored a motherload of the finest dreamy Wild Harvest Atlas Cedarwood Absolute available on planet Earth. I admit I am a big-time fanboy of cedarwood aromatics, especially Atlas and our Texan of which can almost warrant gourmand classification; thus, this is possibly a heavily biased write-up, more so as this absolute finds itself in my favourite 5 natural aromatics of all time.
This scent profile is all held together by a dreamy warm-fruity infusion that is forever present from the start and deep into the dry-down. If I try to break down this fruity tonality, I find Mexican damiana (trace boozy herbal facets), davana qualities (mulled warm fruits), osmanthus (sweet overripe juicy peaches and floral characteristics), Spanish cistus e.o (warm-piercing tang) and some trace dark and sweet honey – a kind of Chestnut honey and Heather honey combination. Additionally, this scent also takes me back to childhood as its somewhat similar to the fruity smell that greets you when opening a bag of wine gums and also reminiscent actually to the preparation of making homemade jelly.
This fruity scent sits above the woody base note of which is a little comparable to the e,o, but here this absolute is free from the pissy facets (Eleonora is not 100% convinced about this) and has no harsh edges, something of which are more easily detected within the e.o if you compare both on smell-strips – something I encourage you all to do. For me the woody qualities here are presented in a soft, sweet through to possibly even powdery affair. There is also some woody aspects here that tinker on the same path as what you find when smelling living mimosa trees, albeit never in that sickly headache inducing fashion I find when being around mimosa trees for too long.
In the middle of this epic aromatic sandwich, we have layers of sweet-warm piercing commercial ambery esq qualities, so a melody of cistus e.o, Cyprian labdanum absolute and our much-loved amber sweetie.
This is wild harvested material, of a rich amber-red colour, pourable viscosity, and is extremely long-lasting, 40 hours as I type on the strip and counting and lasting in optimal form for six hours on my skin type from a generous swipe. A great fixative and blends well with many of the materials mentioned here in my writing. This is the last new release for 2022 and I hope you will all love this as much as I do.”
PS – Forgive me for what I am about to type. But I want to put on record that I do my homework and that this aromatic as with many more, is not associated with the one and only second-tier French conglomerate that produces this and of whom owns our respected online American rival. I tried their material you see, and it sucks, no body, no power, and it falls away too fast. Apologies but considering the amount of effort I put into my job, I need to get across that this wild cedarwood absolute is really in an entirely superior league of excellence.

Adam deserves some serious kudos for sourcing this material. To my nose, it’s a big bowl of red fruits and apricots that have been stewed in cognac and honey, garnished with a sprinkling of flower petals and herbs, and served on a freshly sanded cedarwood table. My mind is happily swirling with ideas of how to put this gorgeous absolute to good use.

This is a rare gem indeed. Rich, sweet, lush, caramel notes swirled with mild peach, blackberry, and almost creamy notes as in the best sandalwoods. It is what smelling the heart of the living tree should be like. Don’t miss this one.

This made me fall in love with cedarwood atlas, which was not my favorite cedarwood…until I found this absolute. Adam and the other reviews describe it on point. So creamy…It just “embraces” you. This warms my heart and grounds my mind. It truly is divine.

Masterpiece material! Wood shavings! Dry wood shavings!
I really fall in love!!!!
An antique dresser, an ancient box, an autumn wood!
Totally different from essential oil. The profile is drier, cleaner, no camphor.
Perfect for everything!!!!
Hugs, Medea and Anton
