July 27th: Adam Michael here with an update. Ok, my partner Eleonora is pregnant with our first child. Written because across September Eleonora goes on maternity leave for 5 months and I intend to join her and use the opportunity to have a rest before the baby is born. The exact date will be confirmed nearer the time but for now just to say if you need anything from Hermitage Oils to please plan ahead because when we close it really will be for 5 months and during that time we will be completely out of contact. Thank you, Adam : )
Joseph Colbourne has this to say “Of French origin, this very pale yellow Elderflower CO2 of light viscosity has a clarion call of anisic, honeyed elegance and golden syrup aroma. Not nearly as yeasty as elderflower absolute, the rounder CO2 is more akin to the blossoms, grassy, lemony, warm, cozy, a radiant ballet of nostalgic hues, baby’s breath, beeswax, meadows in June, sunset in a jar. The base notes are reminiscent of rice, wheat, wild reeds, dried and pressed flowers. This is an elusive and introverted material that should be revered and relished. A great addition to new mown hay accords, wildflower blends, soft and charming fougères.”

This is a fantastic material. Open it during the winter and you will understand. It instantaneously evokes the joyful feelings of spring. Like an elder tree blossoming right in front of you (I can almost hear the birds chirping). Such an accurate smell of the flowers I just can not believe it. It’s so nice, but fleeting.

Perfectly elderflower in every way, evocative of a high dry mid summer, great price and endless blending possibilities, I look forward to more experiments with this one

Although I have still to marry this amazing oil up with a satisfactory blend to make my desired fragrance, on a ‘stand alone’ basis, there can be no mistaking this oil for an unwelcome intruder. This is 7 shades of beautiful:
1. boozy
2. Sparkling
3. edible
4. sweet
5. thirst-enducing
6. summery
7. revitalising.

If you are a lover of elderflower juice, you will love this CO2 extract, because it smells exactly like the juice tastes. It is fresh, sparkling, a little sweet and makes you feel in springtime every time you smell it.

This taste is quite interesting, at first smell is a bit like honey, but a bit bitter herb flavor, tail tone is a bit like Chinese medicine Angelica dahurica.

This the closest to the “real thing” you will find if you have ever tasted Elderflower Cordial or enjoyed the traditional Elderflower “syrup” used in the kitchens of Northern Europe and the UK. For those of us who live in countries where the “true” Elderflower, i.s. Sambucus Nigra, is scarce or non–existent, this CO2 will bring forth delightful childhood memories as well as invite you to create a blend around the sweet ethereal beauty of this “May flower”.

Hay una nota que recuerda levemente al lupulus, su amargor y su aspereza, pero hay una dulce sequedad que lo hace más rico, más complejo, con esas distintas capas de amargor, dulzura, sequedad. El aroma de los soleados campos mediterráneos. Delicioso.
