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 “The aroma is bursting full of dry wine, tartness and very fruity- dry floral qualities, and I must add that it is very well rounded, fulsome, with no harshness or fatty aspects throughout. I do prefer the green cognac over this white material because I find the aroma of the green cognac more interesting, quirkier and fun. Within perfumery and in trace amounts white cognac pairs very well with methyl anthranilate to create a super grapey-wine note, also useful in trace amounts added to floral accords, imparting sparkle and sophistication and personally I look to this material for adding “pretty effects” within Oriental floral themed compositions.
Produced by steam distilling the aromatically rich by product of cognac – dried fermented and distilled grape tissue, clear in colour to pale yellow and of a pourable viscosity.”

On of my favourite materials. A wonderful balance between fruity and boozy…. and i mean real boozy! Very few materials have a true boozy note, but this is such a clear and pronounced aroma, and it works such wonders with florals and fruits.

It is indeed a boozy note and a strong bedfellow to use so I recommend working in dilution (say 10%, or even 5%) to trial it and get to know it. As the earlier reviewer said, it pares exceptionally well with florals; in my case with the more narcotic white florals, like jasmine sambac. I find it works amazingly with white rose too, as the lemon edge of that rose works a treat with the boozy grape scent of the cognac. An oil that has limitless potential once you get to know it.

One of the key ingredients in making a cognac/brandy accord and also as Adam mentioned, a grape one. It’s not that boozy as the green one, a little more tempered and well rounded, not that harsh, easier to work with compared to the green one. It adds lift to compositions, I personally haven’t tried it with florals but paired with Oakwood CO2, Vanilla Oleoresin and Benzoin Resinoid will give a nice brandy composition.
