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 Russian clary sage absolute is less sweet and more mild compared to the French offering, displaying earthy herbaceous notes of outstanding tenacity with fresh cardamom spice, tobacco, and a wide array of yummy tea notes. This material is useful for building woody notes, adding distinct herbal freshness to green accords, enhancing the aromatic character of lavender bases and floral blends. This material is brownish-olive green in colour, of a waxy sold mass that will benefit from warmth prior to use and is produced by solvent extracting the leaves and flowering tops of Russian grown Salvia sclarea.”
Joseph Colbourne has this to say “A truly invaluable material to perfumers, clary sage absolute is thick, waxy, and sepia brown in color, and requires alcohol as a solvent. It opens with sharp, richly herbaceous facets. A notably strong impression of black tea leaves is shadowed with subtle hits of sweet basil. The dry down displays aromatic tobacco, angelica root, and a nutty, velour-like musk. A superb fixative, this absolute has great longevity, lasting over twenty-four hours on the mouillette. It can be paired fantastically with bergamot and other citrus, aiding in their salience. Furthermore, it is a staple ingredient for tea and tobacco accords, also adding character to mossy fougeres.”

Herbaceous product, I am still experimenting with it and figuring out what’s the best way to blend it with. I think that it’s not a dominating ingredient in a perfume and it’ll probably enhance a woody or floral blend.

This Clary Sage is really growing on me, I use the EO material more in aromatherapy – but this particular abs it’s giving me a similar emotional response as Hermitage’s Yarrow CO2 as in a whole garden in one. Heather flowers, phlox, honey, beeswax, herbs, thyme, tea, straw, lichen, moss, green florals, sweet pea, sweet musky, almond, fresh peaty earth, geranium, balsamic, cistus rose, butter. It warms nicely on my skin, I can’t wait to experiment more with this although it’s got it own personality all by it’s self……

A smooth and intense sweet musky herbal, resonating with waxy apples and roses, and fruity black tea – yes, as Adam says it is Earl Grey !
Earl Grey tea and sweet dense hay, tonka bean, drier hay, straw and touches of spearmint and lavender.
The dry-down is very smooth, earthier and softer – a calming companion of sweet fruity hay and soft leather and still the lingering of Earl Grey tea.
