15th September at 13.40pm: Adam Michael here with a little update. First, our offering of rose aromatics has become too big - largest online offering in Europe - and so we are phasing out ROSE OTTO SUPER PREMIUM, ROSE OTTO CO2 ORGANIC and ROSE PETALS PERSIAN OTTO. These beautiful materials sourced directly are available at heavily reduced prices and available whilst stocks last. Next, OSMANTHUS ABS is now priced at just 375 Euros per 50G and this epic multi layered beauty is sourced directly through my own network in China. Next, SANDALWOOD MUSK 1960 CO2, stocks are very low, we have maybe a weeks supply based on how it is selling, so if you want a bottle or more of this old school dreamy vintage smelling wonder, then buy it now as this quality of sandalwood is no easy feat at all to source. Next, we now have stocks again of the pink champagne coloured Wild Strawberry Liquid and very soon I will also be writing about this aromatic. Kewda E.O, lots are asking about it, but note it has had lots of delays and realistically now, I wont have supplies of this until at least mid November. Regarding order lead-times, currently the lead-time still stands at 7 working days and I thank all clients for their patience as we process orders as fast as we can. Finally for now, we are working with a company that specialises in the paperwork side of our business and are hopeful towards the close of 2021 that we should have REACH COMPLIANT paperwork in place on the website for every product we sell. I will write again here on Monday 20th. Thank you, Adam : ) Dismiss
Eleonora Scalseggi has this to say “Choosing the right coffee material can be tricky. The first thought could be working with the absolute, which is alcohol soluble and gorgeous in aroma but very pricey. Then we might think of the CO2 extract, more affordable and still with the warm aroma of roasted coffee but often soluble in oil only (like our classic Total Coffee CO2 extract). Now we have found this new Coffee CO2 Select extract, that has all the kick of a robust espresso along with good tenacity and perfect alcohol solubility. And it’s food grade too!
Aromatically it’s a very dark material, with strong notes of roasted coffee and burnt tobacco undertones. Highly fragrant and with a very decided character, with a little imagination it can work far beyond gourmand accords, pairing spectacularly with florals and blending seamlessly with tobacco and vetivers but also spices and resins materials.”
Botanical Name: Coffea arabica
Origin: Ethiopia
Alcohol Soluble: Yes – Contains alcohol, not oil soluble

Best coffee I have ever smelled and 100% alcohol soluble! Now I need to go pour myself a cup. Buy this! You will not regret it.

Yes, exactly! This is it! In two years I have ithis (can not bear to use it all) the scent turned even darker, bitterer, more tobaccoey, whereas before it was slightly more playful and sweet, sugary even (I could almost taste tiny coffee flavoured sugar crystals – if that makes sense at all).

I have this wonderful product for a couple of months now and I still have to use it in a blend like it just recently did with Cocoa Colourless Abs. (great stuff also).
Opening the cap of the bottle and smelling already is a lovely experience sensing the odor of freshly ‘Barista’ made coffee.
I think this is a must have for the natural perfumer if blended with the right oils.

Barista officionados beware. This extract can overpower, but, beautifully, like a cafetiere sitting bubbling on an Italian country stove. Love this but it’s presence is not easy to put in the corner

I love this stuff, it’s like waking up to the real things, without having to wait for it to cool down! I enjoy combining this with hyrax to deepen the mix, or with citruses to make an Italian proud.

This is one of those materials I thought Id like, but hardly use as im not a coffee drinker.
How wrong I was! This has been a big part of some of my favourite blends and absolutely love trying it with a little Lavender, Seville.

It is like smelling pure coffee beans, just after they have been roasted and grined. Maybe it is not the strongest/most intense scent (it is not weak either!), but whoever seeks the scent of a perfectly prepared coffee would certainly appreciate this material.
