17th March Update at 9.45pm: All retail orders on our books placed between 6th to 13th March will be dispached by no later than the 19th March. All retail orders placed between 14th to 17th March will be dispatched by no later than the 22nd March. Thank you, Adam )
8th February Update at 1.40pm: The website has now been tweaked with the message below. Until early May we now supply to European Union countries only. By early May we will be better organised and able to handle a much larger workload per day. Once in place, USA, Hong Kong and United Arab Emirates will be switched back on. I have also updated the FAQ and mention this within that page. On the new product front, within the next 3 weeks, I am releasing Tuscan Green Olive Absolute Signature Gold, this project has been two years in the making, the end result is the most incredible olive absolute you will ever experience - it is light years superior to the Egyptian offering we and others carry. I am also going to release Italian Oakwood absolute, another custom production for Hermitage, plus I'll introduce Violet Leaf Concrete, and at least one of my 5 new Persian Rose Ottos for sale. If time allows I am going to release a wonderful Mitti Attar and two new Nagarmotha offerings as I want to put together a collection for Nagarmotha to showcase the vast differences in profile you can obtain. And finally I am definitely going to ramp up the wholesale list even further by introducing many more of our existing aromatics this month with wholesale options. Thank you and I will write again now here across early next week. Adam : )

Adam Michael has this to say “I am very pleased to say I have now found a Spanish source for gorgeous Cistus ladanifer essential oil. In my opinion this material is warm, earthy, with a highly fascinating and stimulating sweet heart note, perhaps comparable to smelling aged ambergris and sugar sweet figs. This incredibly tenacious material is produced by steam distilling the leaves and twigs and is amber in colour and of thin viscosity. This plant is also responsible for Labdanum in its various forms.”
This material is a great fixative for the perfumer and used in massage within aromatherapy can be considered useful to effectively treat Candida, Escherichia, and Staphylococcus.

I have thing for cistus. This cistus is high sweet, sweet enough to be a bit gourmand. Sweet and high enough to be a bit floral. Diffusive, warm, very grounding . I find this cistus elegant, and layered then the floral , then some warmth, a diffusive puff of sweet. I don’t know if it’s a thing , but I like to add this instead of labdamum in chypres.

Boozy, bold and beautiful amber with more sparkle than the heavier labdanum absolute. Smells very similar to a stunning piece of ambergris I was fortunate to lay my hands on recently. With of touch of ambrette and civet I’d say you’d have a good substitute for the real deal and therefore makes a great addition to amber accords. Glad to see it’s (finally!) back in stock!

Wow. I was blown away when I put this on the strip. Its strong and finds it way to your nose. A little intoxicating – potentially seductive. Somehow sweet and smooth despite the complex earthiness and sharp floral notes. I’m in love.

don’t be deceived thinking it’s like labdanum, it’s not smoky but more clean like liquidamber orientalis styrax absolute to my nose. And yes, like stated elsewhere: it’s STRONG! I want to try to work with a dilution to not have one drop overpower a whole composition. it may make a wonder incense accord i don’t know about yet. on the oil heater however: divine! it is relaxing, an anxiolitic and almost like a painkiller for neuropathic pain since it calms me down and makes me feel almost a little high. good for insomnia. in perfume i still have to find a way to make it work, it has somewhat of a harsh quality to it (most cistus that i’ve smelled do) but if you are interested in essential oil therapy ingredients you just need to try it!
