July 6th: UNITED KINGDOM CUSTOMERS ONLY: As I type I am off work, however I realise this message needs to be written. Yesterday our courier agent informed us that UPS has vastly increased the price of the UK saver service to the point its now more expensive than using the express service. As such we have now been switched to the express service and as a result, the shipping price for UK customers has now increased from 19.99 to 38.99. I am extremely sorry about this but there is nothing I can do in this instance. Please note as well that this is a cost price, we do not make profits at all on shipping costs.
July 5th: Hello World, Adam Michael here. Just a quick message to say that all orders received up to 17.10pm Italy time will leave with the couriers tomorrow. We are now going to take some time off work as we really need a rest. As such, orders we may now receive will be sent from Tuesday 12th July. Please kindly note from now until our return we will not be responding to emails. Thank you, Adam : )

Adam Michael has this to say “The aroma is sweet and creamy balsamic. Produced from the crude via steam distillation, of a pourable viscosity and can be considered as a good fixative”.
Mark Evans has this to say “Gentle, sweet, woody, balsamic and a little peppery, copaiba oil is produced by dry-distillation under vacuum from the oleoresin. Copaiba trees are mainly found in South America, particularly Brazil. The oleoresin is sustainably harvested by drilling holes in the trunks. A single tree can provide 40 litres of copaiba oleoresin a year. Although its gentleness has hampered its widespread use in perfumery, the essential oil is still useful as a modifier and blender to help transition between different phases of a perfume composition.”
Arctander has this to say “Copaiba Oil finds some use in perfumery, but its fixative value is negligible and its contribution to the overall odor of a fragrance is questionable. Its main use is that of a blender modifier. It blends well with cananga, ylang-ylang, heliotropine, hydroxyl-citronellal, isoeugenol, vanillin, iononesand methylionones, sandalwood oil, amylcinnamic aldehyde, etc. The oil is used in pine fragrances, woody bases, violet perfumes, spice fragrances etc, and its low cost and good availability makes it popular for some of these purposes.”

Aleksey P (verified owner) –
I was extremely surprised to see no reviews about this oil. Although I have great respect for Arctander, I strongly disagree with his opinion about the low value of copaiba oil in perfumery. In addition to the function of smoothing the aroma, this oil brings a very colorful creamy-woody nuance to the composition. Its universal qualities – copaiba goes well with any flavors, makes this oil are indispensable in natural perfumery. And I love to use it in meditation blends, as copaiba has a very relaxing, soothing effect.
