15th September at 13.40pm: Adam Michael here with a little update. First, our offering of rose aromatics has become too big - largest online offering in Europe - and so we are phasing out ROSE OTTO SUPER PREMIUM, ROSE OTTO CO2 ORGANIC and ROSE PETALS PERSIAN OTTO. These beautiful materials sourced directly are available at heavily reduced prices and available whilst stocks last. Next, OSMANTHUS ABS is now priced at just 375 Euros per 50G and this epic multi layered beauty is sourced directly through my own network in China. Next, SANDALWOOD MUSK 1960 CO2, stocks are very low, we have maybe a weeks supply based on how it is selling, so if you want a bottle or more of this old school dreamy vintage smelling wonder, then buy it now as this quality of sandalwood is no easy feat at all to source. Next, we now have stocks again of the pink champagne coloured Wild Strawberry Liquid and very soon I will also be writing about this aromatic. Kewda E.O, lots are asking about it, but note it has had lots of delays and realistically now, I wont have supplies of this until at least mid November. Regarding order lead-times, currently the lead-time still stands at 7 working days and I thank all clients for their patience as we process orders as fast as we can. Finally for now, we are working with a company that specialises in the paperwork side of our business and are hopeful towards the close of 2021 that we should have REACH COMPLIANT paperwork in place on the website for every product we sell. I will write again here on Monday 20th. Thank you, Adam : ) Dismiss
Adam Michael has this to say “The top notes of this cedarwood Texan essential oil are characteristically woody with a wonderful sweetness and gentle smoked-spice undertone. The heart notes make me think of Hiba Wood and Hay, (minus the dry aspects of both) with a faint hit of chocolate paste. The material lasts for a good 16 hours on the strip and towards the very end I also detect medicinal trace notes.
Cedarwood Texan essential oil is produced by steam distilling the heartwood, golden yellow of colour and of a completely pourable viscosity. Overall this is a very mellowed, smooth and truly beautifully bodied material. Artisan produced in the USA and used within perfumery it blends very well with most woody notes, is useful for building tobacco and forest accords, interesting material within patchouli bases as it adds a warmth and intensity to the woody back notes and also this material is a must for building woody-oriental perfumes as it really does pair so well with patchouli. Very highly recommended material.”

Texan cedar wood along with Hermitage’s atlas cedar are absolutely stunning. A must have for any perfumers organ.

The smoky facet is definitely here, although tamed by the classical woody body of this beautiful oil. It does not have this pencil shaving smell that I dislike so much. Instead, it has a strong “masculine body”. @Adam : it makes indeed a beautiful pairing with patchouli, I would however add your Vetiver org South India as a qualified partner. 😉

I am going to repeat Jarreau’s take on this, Hermitage has somehow landed the best quality Texan Cedarwood I’ve come across. I have tried T. Cedarwood oil before many times because it’s inexpensive and sold by many suppliers (here in North America), but this is different! This is a sweet, full-bodied, yet delicate oil with animalic undertones (civet?) you may expect in Himalayan Cedarwood. It makes common version of Texan Cedarwood seem like industrial varnish by comparison.

When I smelt this I was taken back in time to when I was a child. My dad works with wood and used to bring me along when he would go to pick up a load of lumbar. This is a beautiful, deep, rich, and broad cedar. It has a dry character yet still a pleasant sweetness. Smoky with a touch of spice. I feel energized, relaxed, and grounded when I smell cedar like this.
