26th April at 7.35pm: A quick update. Many parcels have left today. The situation is as follows, we still have one order left to process for the 10th (Paris retailer), one for the 11th and a lot more still for the 15th through to the 18th - mostly USA wholesale orders. The plan now is to work on orders across the weekend and by no later than Tuesday 30th - every order placed upto the 18th will be dispatched. Ideally they will all be out by Monday 29th but based on how I called it wrong recently I think it's better to call it for Tuesday. I'll update on order lead times for the 19th onwards on Monday 29th. It goes without saying that I am very sorry about the lead-time but like the lab and staff, it is now just a matter of a month or so before we are better organised, holding larger stocks of each aromatic, and in turn the lead-times will drastically improve going forward. Ok, back on Monday and thank you to everyone for the continued support. Thank you, Adam : )
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 “To my nose the smell of coconut CO2 is joyous coconut sweet, a walk on the beach – coconut fresh, coconut creamy, coconut nutty, with a buttery/fatty texture. This material is solid at room temperature and requires warmth for 4-6 minutes before turning liquid. The pulp of this fruit is CO2 extracted and this material is a select extract. Useful for therapists, natural perfumers and anyone who wants to enjoy the aroma of an all-natural coconut material. The major constituents include lauric acid 58.4%, myristic acid 17.4%, carpylic acids C8:0 & C10:0 at 17.8% collectively and palmitic acid at 4.8%.”
Mark Evans has this to say “Imagine lightly toasting shredded coconut in a dry pan, that wonderful aroma has been perfectly captured in this organic CO2 extract. The perfect coconut aroma is enhanced with nutty chocolate, butter, creamy vanilla and hints of tropical fruits. When you think of coconut scents, you may have been put off in the past by the sickly sweet overpowering synthetic coconut fragrance present in many cheaper sun screens and cosmetics. This CO2, however, plays a much more natural smelling, subtle role in your tropical or gourmand creations. Note that this extract is soluble in fixed or vegetable oils, but there may be some insoluble residue remaining when blended with alcohol. This residue can be removed with chilled filtering. Coconut CO2 blends wonderfully with exotic floral fragrances such as ylang ylang, jasmine and lilac and I can only dream of the delicious gourmand creations that it could feature in.”
Joseph Colbourne has this to say “A clear liquid CO2 extraction originating from the Philippines, this material has the seductive aroma of fresh coconut meat right from the shell. Its waxy, luscious, nutty, toasty, lactonic and mouth-watering. Its dry down has facets of brazil nut, chestnut, praline, vanilla, and equatorial bliss. The fatty, round, robust character of this delicacy makes it tenacious, bold, and diffusive. The scent lingers after ten hours on the tester strip. Coupled with ylang, jasmine, or frangipani for a sultry tropical accord. Coconut CO2 can be used panache in gourmand accords, paired with lime, or blended with spices such as clove or ginger.”

Forget the dreaded Coconut Aldehyde, this is the real deal. It is a semi-sweet material that will follow the route of the other ingredients: add sweetness and it will cherish, put it into bitter or fresh concoctions and it will silently smooth edges, This offering is mostly nutty, as the dried fruit when in high concentration, and turns a bit lighter and refreshing when diluted.
Mixing it with Lime for a rendition of a famous drink wasn’t a good idea because of the noticeable nuttiness that has no place with citruses. Blended with gourmand materials, such as Tonka Bean and Coffee, it exudes creamy and buttery aspects. With white flowers such as Ylang Ylang Extra, for instance, it offers a beautiful backbone for what could be best described as ‘something akin to lavish fertility rituals’.

Don’t think twice! Order it!! You can actually eat it without second thoughts..you can use it as a standalone perfume or play with exotic perfume compositions ..

Coconut CO2 is much more subtle than its synthetic alternatives and certainly has much more of the nuances of a real coconut. I found I needed to use more of this this material than intended due to it’s subtlety.

This is a perfume in its own right! indispensable in lactonic creamy accords!

This is a very nice thing! Don’t expect any swaying coconut fragrant trees in the car when you can’t wait to get out of the car or taxi. It is a completely grated coconut that has exactly such a delicate and natural scent that you will not have a headache from it. There is strength in subtlety. It’s true.

For those of you living in the USA, this smells exactly like the refrigerated Trader Joe’s organic coconut smoothie, only even more fresh, and more of it. You can smell the coconut fat/meat and coconut water. Works oh so well hidden behind florals like frangipani, Ylang Ylang, and tuberose.
