Update 12th May at 9.55pm: First, our order book. The majority of orders placed between the 5th to 7th May have been collected by the couriers, more will be collected tomorrow, and the rest will be collected by the couriers on May 16th. Many easy/quick to assemble orders placed after the 7th have also been collected by the couriers. We are working through the weekend, and I will update again here on Monday concerning lead-times. I am very sorry about the delays and also for the time it is taking me to reply to emails at the moment.
Next, good news on the horizon. By mid-late June I will release a 30 year aged labdanum, Persian cypress e.o, Persian neroli e.o, two Nagaland ouds, one jungle- plantation, the other wild, plus cedarmoss absolute, oakmoss absolute – one of my original sources, melonal n.i, guaiacol n.i, my own commissioned saffron oleo resin red gold, olive absolute (possibly two offerings), another flawless Persian rose otto, sandalwood India Royal - a 1930’s vintage Mysore, plus another intro-level oud from Thailand, a two year aged green sacra tincture, a flawless Indonesian sandalwood CO2 that I have been wearing on my forearms every day this week (heavenly and affordable), plus protium copal resin, elemi resin, a full spectrum green coloured royal hojari resin and I am musing on releasing a trial experiment of stock flower extrait by enfleurage – musing because it’s so fleeting. And finally, for the month of May I have released oud wild Assam e.o, oud Thai fruity-spice e.o (intro level oud), Italian 4-fold lemon super concentrate e.o, oud Chanthaburi honey e.o, orris Tuscan absolute 50% (8% Irones) , oud wild tabak e.o (our first quarter of a million euros per kilo aromatic) plus our 20-month aged grey ambergris 3% tincture and our stunning Indian sandalwood sweetie CO2. Thank you to everyone for the support of our business and as always, if its possible, please do leave product reviews on the website. Thanks, 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.
