23/07/21 at 17.35pm: Adam Michael here, about to finish for today but before I do I have a little update : )
The TEST order to Australia was a success, sailing through customs like pre-covid times. Therefore, in September (so after our holiday) Australia will be added back to the list of countries we can supply. Next, when we are off work in August, I am musing on cutting the offering of natural isolates and essential oils we offer by as many as 30 lines. I will touch on this more in the final newsletter and welcome thoughts from clients. Also, before we close for the holiday, I will be uploading Egyptian Orange Blossom Absolute, however it won’t be for sale as a standalone material (it also won’t make for a pleasant reading at all) BUT will feature in September’s new product releases, which includes an Orange Blossom and Neroli sample set. In September I have some more big-ticket releases lined up, including two possible oud custom distillations exclusive for Hermitage. I also have sourced more protium copal resin plus a wonderful peppery elemi resin. And the updated wholesale list that will feature more aromatics will be available to download at the start of September. Please remember if you are in the E.U, the last time for placing an order is the 27th July. And in preparation of our August holiday, all NON-E.U shipping destinations have now been switched off from our website. Thanks to all who support us and kind regards, Adam : ) Dismiss
Adam Michael has this to say “The aroma of davana essential oil opens with a slight bitter sweet warmth, following on with classic mulled fruity berry warmth and a splash of herbaceous goodness. Obtained from the red soil regions of India by steam distillation of the over ground parts of the flowering herb, deep red in colour and of a pourable viscosity.
A brilliant material within perfumery for building Christmas themes, pairs very well with cocoa absolute, cassis base and anise, beautiful for improving dark berry accords and heavy florals plus it imparts interesting effects within boozy notes.”

I have compared this since buying it to other davanas which are sweet and more floral. This one lacks these beautiful aspects.

rich and powerful, fruity and boozy, herbaceous.
