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 this to say “Cedarwood atlas essential oil is a powerful antiseptic, used particularly for bronchial and urinary tract infections. It is very effective for cystitis and vaginal infections and discharges (always remembering the need for medical investigation to identify the cause). It is mucolytic (i.e, it breaks down mucus) which makes it doubly useful in treating catarrh conditions, especially chronic bronchitis. Cedarwood atlas essential oil is used in skincare as a mild astringent, and its antiseptic properties make it valuable in treating acne. Its “masculine” odour makes it acceptable to young men and boys with acne, who might reject sweeter-smelling oils. It is used in men’s toiletries, especially aftershaves where both the astringent and antiseptic properties are helpful. It is also helpful for dandruff and other scalp problems. However, its popularity as a masculine perfume may be connected with its traditional reputation as an aphrodisiac. It certainly has a tonic and stimulant action on the whole body, while at the same time reducing stress and tension, so there is some foundation for this belief.
Cedarwood atlas is closely related to the biblical Cedar of Lebanon and its therapeutic properties have been recognised since antiquity. Cedar was used by all the ancient civilizations in medicine, cosmetics and perfumery, and by the Egyptians in embalming. The wood itself is very aromatic, due to the high percentage of essential oil it contains, and was used for building and making storage chests, as the odour repels termites, ants, moths and other harmful insects. In common with other aromatic woods, it was widely used as incense. It is still used as temple incense in Tibet (and among Tibetan exiles) as well as having important uses in traditional Tibetan medicine. Red in colour, produced from the wood by steam distillation and of a pourable viscosity.”

What would any perfumist do without Cedarwood? There’s a reason this may be the most widely used base note ever: it simply works. Tenacious, easy to use and blend, versatile, pretty affordable and, most important, able to hold its own as a great scent, having Cedarwood at your organ is a no-brainer.
Comparing to my Himalayan Cedarwood from another source, this one seems brighter, rounder and more balsamic, almost stepping into resins’ territory. Beyond its bitter-ish body, I can sniff fairly sweet nuances that appear when it is highly diluted. If you blend it with terpenes, it will sing high and clear hymns to the heavens.
This material gives an outstanding backbone to citrus, especially Lemon, and can work as a solid structure for pretty much every style. If you’re not quite sure where you’re going, just start with this Cedarwood Atlas and see what happens from there.

Fresh, sweet & beautiful on the nose, this material is so easy to work with & versatile.It also brings out the best in citrus notes to bring out a heavenly scent.

Atlas cedarwood as we all know it: sweet strong balsamic scent, I like it for room/ambiance and like the other reviewer said, it is great paired with citrus/lemony oils.

I’m not that much of a fan of Atlas cedar, but this material is of fine quality for sure. I guess I just prefer the peppery smoke and bark like body of Virginia cedar. Atlas couldn’t be anymore different, it’s much more pine like, with a sappy, lemon, olibanum uplift to it, a bracing and lovely woody smell no doubt, still figuring out how best to utilise it but probably would compliment frankincense, vetiver or citrus perhaps? or maybe in stark contrast to birch tar or guaiac?

What can i say about such a beauty that only nature can create – marvelous !
It’s almost one of the most used essential oils in natural perfumery and it really makes wonders in a blend – sometimes i ask myself how can such a precious material can be available at such a low cost !
It is a sweet, creamy woody with a hint of floral magic. Softly balsamic, and many says it to be masculine – but as long as i do not believe perfume has gender i would widely use it for any person be it male or female.
It is slightly camphorous, persistent with that pleasant bitter note as well.
Cedar wood is cedar wood – as rose is rose 😉 🙂

If you ever hear of a scent or a note having texture, this is an excellent example. It smells simultaneously of fresh rough cut cedar wood, and of ancient polished cedar paneling. At first, it is more bitter than sweet, with a fresh lift in the top, but as it dries, it becomes sweeter, sexier, and melts beautifully with your skin in such a way, it could rival musks. There is a bare breath of cool crushed green cedar leaves that wafts almost unnoticed, but offers a minty camphoraceous edge to compliment the near-mustiness… this is the best cedarwood EO I’ve ever had. A real masterpiece.

Can’t get over it. One of my favorites for all this years. Woody, nutty but in the same time sweet and soft. One of the best oils to work on self-confidence
