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 “I first introduced eucalyptus absolute in October 2015. And now as I write, it is the 7th January 2020 and I finally have a direct source for the material.
This is probably one of the most underrated naturals in existence, a stunningly seductive Mediterranean scrub beauty that really dazzles and surprises. And this is little to nothing like smelling the essential oil, it is light years superior.
From the top the aroma profile is pungent blackcurrant bud fruity and this powerful note has a tinge of something that makes me think of medicinal blackcurrant flavoured throat soothing candies, along with the taste of Ribena. This aroma is supported by a joyous dose of fir balsam, juniper berries (more absolute orientated) and cistus balsamic character with amber like qualities. I also detect slightly muted aspects that are perhaps comparable to smelling blue hemlock absolute. Also, notable Italian cypress nuances can be found, that are reminiscent of a cypress tree that has been in direct contact with the hot sun for many hours, and thus releasing that delicious sappy resinous green goodness, that saturates the warm air here in Tuscany throughout the summer. This sincerely is utterly gorgeous material, inexpensive, and if you are a fan of the equally delightful pine absolute, then this eucalyptus absolute really is a must try material. The dry down is reminiscent of the breathtakingly beautiful Corsican Mediterranean scrub.
For perfumery this material pairs especially well with labdanum and pine materials, along with roses, sandalwood, green tea and tobaccos. A must for tropical fruit bases, leather accords, tea accords, oriental blends and rich floral bouquets. A pleasure to evaluate.
Produced by solvent extracting the concrete which is produced from the leaves and fruits of the plant. The absolute is green in colour and very gunky and sticky. As such what we offer here is a 50% dilution in alcohol that is of a pourable viscosity and simply mess free and easy to use.
USA SHIPPING JUST €8.99 ON ORDERS OVER €350 STARTING FROM MAY 2024 shipping to Rest of the World will resume.

I actually lived in a spot of riparian forest when I was a teenager and had to walk two miles through a road before I found the first bakery when reaching the city limits. The first half of the way I walked bordering the river’s gallery forest; in the second half, I had to circle a small farm’s fence formed by a living wall of Eucalyptus and dearly remember its leaves’ and fruits’ scent in the heat, in the cold and in the rain, fresh, green, dry and even rotten.
The traditional camphoraceous bite is certainly here but accompanied by a warm touch that I only felt in the Summer, when the green broken leaves blended with sun-bathed fruits on the ground. It is sweeter and rounder than the actual thing and even more persistent: I used to rub a few leaves in my hands when going back home from school at lunchtime and would smell traces of it until early night, but a diluted drop of this material will scent a room, even if faintly, for a good four days.
This is sticky even when diluted up to the 25% mark, so I recommend going as far as 10%. Since Eucalyptus has been used for decades as a functional scent, for cleaning and health products, most may feel this is a vulgar material, but I invite everyone to try blending it with the likes of Juniper Berries, Blackcurrant, Strawberry, Apricot, Spruces and, surprise!, Nutmeg, Coffee, Beeswax and Bitter Almonds for impressive results.

Interesting experience, since it differs a lot from the usual toppy, fresh, medicinal scent I associeate with eucalyptus. This is a deep scent of pine resin that has been dried and crushed between your fingers. An old jetty in the sun, or outdoor furniture. Beautiful, fun and a great complement to your forest scents. Mossy green color. It is not very strong after an hour. Still there, unchanged, but encapsulated in its resin.

Not sure I will ever use eucalyptus essential oil again after smelling the absolute. This lacks the stronger medicinal notes and would be beautiful in either a forest or marine accord.

I am used to Eucalyptus oils through my entire life, beginning with childhood pungent inhalations in times of bronchitis in northern eastern Europe’ winters, or rubbing it in strain muscles – aromatherapy ubiquitous staple, but sharp and ‘apothecary’ on the nose.
Not until I’ve lived in the sunny Middle East and experienced a living Eucalyptus forest in bloom, and crached the sticky florets, berries and leaves with my fingers, I knew the true scent of a live Euclayptus. In my nose, this Absolute is a vivid and true in resolution portrait of Eucalyptus tree in bloom – with balmy balsamy flowery moist tones, with adequate sharpness in its somewhat exotic greenery, as floral notes are never present in usual essential oil, even of the best qualities. This Absolute is surprising and useful gem to refine and redefine top green bouquets in high-class perfume creations. Thank You guys for this rarity.
