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 “This cocoa absolute is dreamy, luxurious, seductive chocolate heaven. The aroma is very straightforward – providing a never ending supply of luxury chocolate notes. To elaborate further, the top note is mouth-watering dark bitter sweet chocolate with a similarity to the taste of eating Cadburys Bournville chocolate. The heart note to my nose contains a juicy kirsch morello cherries nuance that makes me think of my mum’s homemade chocolate cake – always finished with those spectacular tasting cherries.
This dark brown coloured cocoa absolute is of a sticky, gunky consistency, completely oil soluble (not alcohol soluble – goes cloudy) and obtained from the beans – not the powder. We also have a colourless liquid available, easy to work with, alcohol soluble, pleasant aroma profile and very popular. Uses include gourmand based accords, pairing beautifully with chilli, cinnamon, peppermint, vanilla, tonka, orris, fruits and nuts such as hazelnut, pistachios, cherries and blood oranges. A must for creating the perfect chocolate note, imparts exotic dreamy facets within floral bouquets and offers very interesting effects when used within tobacco, hay, leather and wood accords.”

I did not find the strength I expected in this product. And had to use a lot. It smells like sweet chocolate.

Excellent stuff. Is like smelling from a cup of hot chocolate that soothes not only your body but your senses too..so powdery and rich and i almost get a hint of vanilla in it.. yes it is fully alchohol soluble and you can experience a dreamy blend ..i use it with rose,vanilla, oud..and saffron and i create a beautiful oriental perfume that i copy from a famous brand…5 star for sure

As you would expect this rather viscous material has a strong cocoa heart however there are also bitter and earthy components to it also.

If you sniff it blind, you’ll think it’s some milk chocolate drink with lots of chocolate powder. Love the way it partners with jonquille, osmanthus, ylang yland and other flowers with amber/resinous (sweet or not sweet), and leather. Also goes nicely with Cambodian, Vietnamese and Thai ouds, vetiver, patchouli, vanilla, tonka, hot and cold spices.
It’s a pain to make it mix properly. But worth the trouble. Wish it was a bit more potent though.

This absolute sorts out the true chocolate lovers from the amateurs. The dilution in a blend is still difficult to get on point but it does lend itself with it’s unctuous sweetness to some delightful gourmand experiments.
