17th March Update at 9.45pm: All retail orders on our books placed between 6th to 13th March will be dispached by no later than the 19th March. All retail orders placed between 14th to 17th March will be dispatched by no later than the 22nd March. Thank you, Adam )
8th February Update at 1.40pm: The website has now been tweaked with the message below. Until early May we now supply to European Union countries only. By early May we will be better organised and able to handle a much larger workload per day. Once in place, USA, Hong Kong and United Arab Emirates will be switched back on. I have also updated the FAQ and mention this within that page. On the new product front, within the next 3 weeks, I am releasing Tuscan Green Olive Absolute Signature Gold, this project has been two years in the making, the end result is the most incredible olive absolute you will ever experience - it is light years superior to the Egyptian offering we and others carry. I am also going to release Italian Oakwood absolute, another custom production for Hermitage, plus I'll introduce Violet Leaf Concrete, and at least one of my 5 new Persian Rose Ottos for sale. If time allows I am going to release a wonderful Mitti Attar and two new Nagarmotha offerings as I want to put together a collection for Nagarmotha to showcase the vast differences in profile you can obtain. And finally I am definitely going to ramp up the wholesale list even further by introducing many more of our existing aromatics this month with wholesale options. Thank you and I will write again now here across early next week. 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.”

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.

A special choisy ingredient for fine Perfumery with its spicy sweet peppery front and apparently gently vanilic fruity creamy incense in it resionous heart; ‘apparently’ because it holds a beautiful secret if you are patient – however mellow it is very tenacious, keeping its elegant spicy vanilic resin tone all the way to the end of drydown. A mild-mannered back up singer, always willing to blend easily, with excellent fixative powers. From the medicinal perspective – ages proven great antiseptic and healer of skin injuries, can be used directly on the wounds.
