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 “Opening notes of this Cocoa colourless absolute are intensely rich dark chocolate, roasted cocoa beans, wet and luscious. The heart is milk chocolate and wholegrain breakfast cereal bars with a pleasant bitter sweetness. Combines especially well with tonka, coumarin notes, coffee, hazelnut CO2, Cherry CO2. Banana CO2, vanilla, honey and provides interesting effects when used with tuberose, osmanthus, blue lotus and even peppermint. Much easier to work with than cocoa absolute but does not have the same tenacity or longevity.”
Although the word “colourless” is contained in the product name, the colour is actually very pale chocolate brown. This material is of a pourable viscosity. This material is produced by a two-step process: first solvent extraction of Theobroma cacao, then via co-distillation with a second solvent.
Botanical Name: Theobroma cacao
Origin: Brazil
Alcohol Soluble: Yes
Oil Soluble: No
Wholesale weights (all prices excluding vat): 250G = 150 Euros.

If you’re looking for a dark chocolate aroma that is not too sweet, this is the one. It’s very easy to work with and you don’t need too much. I found that pairing it with florals creates a rich, beautiful yin-yang balance.

Cocoa absolute is all about dark chocolate, definitely for Choco lowers. So thick and deep. For me it goes perfectly with lovely tobacco. But I guess with different ingredients possible to play from dark chocolate to the more sweet variations. Very nice material for creations

This material is excellent to use in oil base attars as it can dilute easily..warm .rich and chocolate smell to play with tobacco, osmanthus, vanilla, patchouli and
a drop of blackcurrant…

Paired it just recently with patchouli heart tobacco virginia different woods vetiver etc. and i will let it blend for a few months.., the first test was surprisingly good and i am very excited how it will develop after a couple of months.

Warm, rich chocolate-y deliciousness. Wonderful because you get deep chocolate without too much sweetness!

A gourmand lovers dream. Blends with Patchouli, Coffee and Vanilla perfectly.
I was a little surprised by the colour as I was expecting it to be, as the name says, completely clear. Im guessing that its a lot lighter than your usual Cocoa Absolute.

Does what it says on the tin! If you are a chocolate lover (who isn’t?) you will love this oil. Easier to work with than other examples I have encountered.
