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 “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.
Botanical Name: Cistus ladanifer
Origin: Spain
Alcohol Soluble: Yes
Oil Soluble: Yes

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!
