August 8th: As I type, we are currently rammed with orders to assemble and dispatch. For now, the lead-time estimates in the message below continue to stand. We are working every single day of August and as we will close across September, I need to offload my 2022 season Organic Lemon FCF E.O. We buy a very large weight of this every year and purchased just before we found out that Eleonora was pregnant. The material is properly stored, smells delicious and is now offered at reduced rates on the 250G weight (31.15 Euros before vat - supplied in lacquered aluminium canisters - absolute steal price) – available to everyone. Also, we are close to selling out of our Turkish Rose Signature Absolute now. We sell this for nearly 3 times less than what various so-called American rival operators are charging – for material sourced from the same producer as well. If you use our beautiful Turkish Rose Signature Absolute and need a bottle, enjoy our super low pricing whilst you can. We are also getting very low on Mysore Sandalwood E.O and Jasmine Absolute now. I will write again by Wednesday. Thank you, Adam : )
August 4th: As I type we are receiving a lot more orders than usual and we are very behind with assembling and dispatching orders. All Mainland Europe orders now have a 4-5 working day lead-time. All NON.EU orders now currently have a 7-14 working day lead-time as the courier agent we work with, is currently having days off (holiday time) across the first weeks of August, and hence adding to delays I am afraid. I apologise about any inconvenience caused. I will update again here by Monday evening (8th). Thank you, Adam : )
July 27th: Adam Michael here with an update. Ok, my partner Eleonora is pregnant with our first child. Written because across September Eleonora goes on maternity leave for 5 months and I intend to join her and use the opportunity to have a rest before the baby is born.
The exact date will be confirmed nearer the time but for now just to say if you need anything from Hermitage Oils to please plan ahead because when we close it really will be for 5 months and during that time we will be completely out of contact. Also so that everyone is aware, we will be working for the entire month of August and across August we will be releasing non-compliant oakmoss from a source I worked with for over 15 years. Yes I convinced them to carry out a production just for Hermitage Oils. On top of this I have hit the jackpot and sourced the most stunning Wild Harvested Cedarwood Absolute that money buys. It has an incredibly addictive profile, super sweet, woody, no pissy aspects like that of the e.o and the dry-down is first class all the way. Expect a thorough write-up when this is released. Also I unearthed more of our aged Opoponox e.o from Ethiopia in our storerooms so that is coming back as is Cedarmoss Absolute. As I type we have a lot of work to assemble so please note orders placed now will take until the early or middle of next week to be processed. Thank you, Adam : )

Adam Michael has this to say “This civet recreation consists of a blend of both natural and synthetic components. This material is free of civet absolute and contains no animal derived ingredients at all. An exceptionally powerful material that is best used below the level of conscious detection. When used in trace amounts this material imparts beautiful animalic warmth, is a great fixative, generally adds naturalness to a composition, and is a must for Oriental bases, jasmine accords, rose bouquets and pairs especially well with ambrette seed absolute.”

Pretty amazing stuff this and a welcome addition to the palate considering the ethical dilemma that real civet presents. This doesn’t smell like real civet at all but I suspect that most perfume lovers who think they love an animal ‘civet’ note are actually more fond of something like this than the animal derived variety. This has a more spicy, peppery, impact almost that of cumin, with a complex dirty, leathery heart and sinks down heavily into the base of an accord or composition. For the purposes of experimentation the 10ml of Civet liquid I bought is likely all I will ever need, as it’s only to be used in low concentrations to make a workable material and then in turn is only used in traces in a formula.

Starts off smelling like your alcoholic uncle when leans in for the customary cheek-to-cheek greeting, but it rapidly reveals more spicy and resinous facets once you focus in on the scent. It smells dirty and indolic but combines well with ambers, cumin and coriander, a good choice for a skankier oriental.

I had absolutely no idea what to do with this so diluted it to 1% in PA and let it sit for a couple of months. Oh wow, it just gets more and more wonderful. The faint initial cat pee thing has matured already to a fabulous, slightly less floral indole to the wonderful natural version I also purchased here (which I adore). So refreshing to find a supplier that’s passionate about perfumery, very fairly priced and seems to go out of their way to delight us.
