7th November at 11.35am. Update. First, Hermitage Oils website is now closed for the rest of 2023. No more orders are being accepted and all countries have been removed from the website at checkout, to prevent orders from being placed whilst we are off work. Apologies if I sound like a broken record, but politely I have received so many emails asking about placing orders already. I am now putting an out of office message in place on the email and website contact page. As soon as all orders have been delivered - we are then properly off work for the rest of 2023. Sincerely, we need a proper break as the stress of this year has become too great. On a brighter note, the following SDS are now uploaded onto the website and available to clients by logging in to your account and going to the section titled SDS (assuming you have purchased the product) ... Blue Lotus Absolute, Bergamot Mint E.O, Clove Bud Absolute, Apple Liquid, Chamomile Roman E.O, Cognac Green Signature Gold E.O, Costus Root E.O, Eucalyptus Absolute, Cocoa Absolute Signature Gold, Geranium Chinese E.O, Frankincense Rivae E.O, Buddha Wood E.O and Cedarwood Himalayan E.O. The business handling the conversion still needs to hand over about 60 more SDS and as we receive them, they will be uploaded onto the website. Thank you, Adam : )
Adam Michael has this to say “I find myself thinking of Cadburys Dairy Milk chocolate whenever I smell this cocoa CO2. Likewise the aroma of cocoa absolute to my nose is similar to the taste of eating Cadburys Bournville chocolate. The aroma of this cocoa CO2 is much more creamy, milkier, sweet and sugary. This is one of the most delicious gourmand materials I have so far encountered and I recommend everybody try this material at least once. Light brown in colour, solid at room temperature, obtained via CO2 extraction of the cocoa beans.”

Ah, Cocoa! So heavenly, yet so mundane! So precious and, still, so omnipresent in our everyday lives! Even the healthiest people on Earth stray from their path to point that, yep, chocolate is good for you, sure!
This masterpiece offering from Hermitage captures all this delight and I feel very privileged to have it in my collection. It smells gorgeously creamy, sweeter than I would expect and darkly opulent, while still keeping an airy profile that reminds me of sniffing cocoa powder. It can be used as a whole perfume per se, going from dusty top notes to a gourmand heart and finishing with woody whispers at the base. Mixed with Star Anise, Elemi or white flowers, this jewel exhibits its most beautiful facets.
The only side note here is that Cocoa is remarkably dificult to work with, not blending well with many carrier oils, and this CO2 is not an exception. It melts easily, but it is hard to blend and a bit unstable. I recommend using it predominantly with alcohol and DPG if necessary, which seems to make Cocoa a bit more grounded. Since I love oil based fragrances, I still have to find a way to unlock this material’s full potential in this form.

The top of this material introduces itself as complex, mysterious & seductive. The heart is paradoxically percussive yet flowing. Very dynamic! The base is powdery & dry; it deepens perceptively by 15 minutes. Within half an hour it still retains its full complexity & power. (rare!) By 2 hours although its power is quite diminished, its stunning complexity remains. It lasts on the blotter for half a day, probably longer, however by then, the aroma has devolved into a sour roasted one. Definitely recommended for the palette of those enchanted with Cocoa !

Wonderful, exactly like cocoa butter at the opening of the bottle. Very seductive, never enough of it. The buttery aspect slowly transcends to darker, but sweeter facets to that of the chocolate, but milkiness and creaminess just keep on doing their magic. You can not resist to devour it with your senses, it just that good.

I was expecting a dark heavy mass, but something special came. It doesn’t color like dark cocoa and the smell is unrivaled cocoa. I really like it, a truly special gourmet experience. Delicacy!

Wow! Stunning extraction that indeed evokes the idea of a bar of Cadburys Bournville! I have yet to compound with it as I don’t have a clear direction in mind, BUT, smelling directly from the bottle is addictive. It’s honestly everything you would want from a chocolate material and more. My mouth waters just writing this review, I must control myself and stick to my diet, lol!
