23rd April at 4.10pm: Unfortunately, regarding the message below and lead-times, I called it wrong. My apologies. As such all orders placed upto the 15th - and about half of those placed on the 16th, will leave by Friday 26th. On Thursday no collections are possible by couriers as it's a national holiday here in Italy. On the subject of SDS, the company handling this for us, has written to me today, acknowledged more are owed to us (submitted in December and January) and that they are now working on producing the final lot of SDS for us. This includes Plantation, Wild and Jungle ouds that many of you ask about. Next, I have spent the past year (literally) sampling ambrette seed e.o and absolutes from various producers and resellers to no avail. They all smell really poor compared to what I carried. They are too nutty, too fatty, too vegetative, too lacklustre, falling away very fast, and really dont showcase the musky textured qualities of a top ambrette properly. Even the big naturals brands are all obtaining and selling sucky poor man's ambrette at the moment. Written as I have decided to move over to carrying ambrette CO2 and this will be in place until I can find a wow absolute and E.O again. CO2 is still not on par with what I had, but it offers a far better profile on the musky front than the abs and e.os in the market place right now. This CO2 will be in stock by early May. Next, we will put all the non.eu destinations we can supply to, back on our website on May 6th - so U.A.E, UK, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and Australia. On the new product front, the next batch of 10 superstars will be released on the 20th May - lots more roses planned. And I will get started on expanding the bulk wholesale side of the business very soon - more aromatics and offered in larger weights as standard - likely upto a kilo on the website. Ok I will write again by Monday. Thank you, Adam : )
19th April at 5pm: Quick update to first say I have now added the following big ticket aromatics to the website: Italian Oakwood Absolute, Organic Georgian Rose Raduga Otto and finally Persian P.E.A Intense Rose (Otto). Orders, as I type with exception to 3 orders, every order placed up until the 11th has left with the couriers. By Monday 22nd, all orders placed up until the 14th will leave with couriers and I will type again across Monday with another update. Bulk Wholesale orders that still need to be manually typed and billed will be done so by Tuesday 23rd. Thank you, Adam : )
15th April at 5.30pm: Today I am running behind but I am happy to say that along with all E.U countries, we now can supply to the USA again. USA switched on just now and the Mysore Sandalwood 4 year aged E.O offer is extended for a week for USA clients to enjoy too. By Wednesday 17th all orders from the 9th April will be dispatched with DHL. Although we are rather full-on with orders at the moment, the lead time will improve significantly very shortly. Reason being since reopening the focus has been solely on building stocks up and we have staff coming on as well now (at last!). I will write again on Wednesday regarding lead times. This week my tasks are to get on top of the SDS we are owed by the company we have employed to handle this. And other than this I am adamant I will update the bulk wholesale list with more aromatics. Finally for now - the following 11 aromatics have recently been added to the site - French Rose Geranium E.O, Sandalwood Mysore E.O 4 Year Aged, Tuscan Olive Leaf Absolute, Mitti Attar (Petrichor), Persian Queen of Roses (Otto), Tomato Leaf Absolute, Oud Assami Skank E.O V.1, South Indian 10 Year Aged Vetiver E.O, Bengali Nagarmotha E.O, VIolet Leaf Concrete, Italian Helichrysum Absolute S.G. Thank you, Adam : )

Adam Michael has this to say “Aromatically elemi essential oil exudes a sticky resinous fresh pink peppery type profile with ice cool bergamot, rose petal and milky-spiced nuances. Elemi is a tropical tree growing up to 30m high that yields a resinous pathological exudation with a pungent odour. Although it is called a gum, it is almost entirely made up of resin and essential oil. Elemi has a tonic and stimulating action on the system. It has a long history of use in medicinal and cosmetic formulas, with the ancient Egyptians using elemi in preparations during the embalming process. Elemi oil can be useful for respiratory complaints, try adding a few drops of elemi to an aroma diffuser as this can really help those suffering with bronchitis, dry coughs and even excess mucus. It is equally nice and maybe more effective when used within body balm and applied to the chest area.
Elemi essential oil is said to rejuvenate the skin and it can be used in cases of nervous exhaustion and stress related conditions providing a feeling of peace. The major chemical constituents of elemi essential oil are, terpineol, elemicine, elemol, dipentene, phellandrene and limonene.
The essential oil is obtained by steam distillation from the gum which is obtained by making incisions into the bark. Native to the Philippine Islands and the Moluccas where it is also cultivated. A member of the Burseraceae family and known locally as Pili.”
Botanical name: Canarium commune
Origin: Philippines grown, French produced.

– To me this is like a top note variant of green frankincense.
– It begins with a luban-like smell – slightly bitter and quite dry
– On my skin, the astringency of this oil has some similarities with the aromatic and slightly medicinal bitterness of green tea (when we sip). Thus it has some similarities with chamomile, targets (European variants), the some very expensive Vietnamese and Chinese oud oils.
– The incense facets, that is more prominent at cooler temperature, can be very useful in building incense accords/compositions. So, I used it in a few experimental blends of mine to add more ‘volume’ to the ambery (read resinous) and incensy facets, where I used a lot of wild ouds and heavy florals.
– Only one gripe: on its own, it does not last that long on my very dry skin (> 2-3 hours). But that is the nature of this less base-heavy material.

I just love elemi, this one has less of the harsh notes elemi can sometimes have, lavender and cardamom seem to be its best friends!
