August 8th: As I type, we are currently rammed with orders to assemble and dispatch. For now, the lead-time estimates in the message below continue to stand. We are working every single day of August and as we will close across September, I need to offload my 2022 season Organic Lemon FCF E.O. We buy a very large weight of this every year and purchased just before we found out that Eleonora was pregnant. The material is properly stored, smells delicious and is now offered at reduced rates on the 250G weight (31.15 Euros before vat - supplied in lacquered aluminium canisters - absolute steal price) – available to everyone. Also, we are close to selling out of our Turkish Rose Signature Absolute now. We sell this for nearly 3 times less than what various so-called American rival operators are charging – for material sourced from the same producer as well. If you use our beautiful Turkish Rose Signature Absolute and need a bottle, enjoy our super low pricing whilst you can. We are also getting very low on Mysore Sandalwood E.O and Jasmine Absolute now. I will write again by Wednesday. Thank you, Adam : )
August 4th: As I type we are receiving a lot more orders than usual and we are very behind with assembling and dispatching orders. All Mainland Europe orders now have a 4-5 working day lead-time. All NON.EU orders now currently have a 7-14 working day lead-time as the courier agent we work with, is currently having days off (holiday time) across the first weeks of August, and hence adding to delays I am afraid. I apologise about any inconvenience caused. I will update again here by Monday evening (8th). Thank you, Adam : )
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. Also so that everyone is aware, we will be working for the entire month of August and across August we will be releasing non-compliant oakmoss from a source I worked with for over 15 years. Yes I convinced them to carry out a production just for Hermitage Oils. On top of this I have hit the jackpot and sourced the most stunning Wild Harvested Cedarwood Absolute that money buys. It has an incredibly addictive profile, super sweet, woody, no pissy aspects like that of the e.o and the dry-down is first class all the way. Expect a thorough write-up when this is released. Also I unearthed more of our aged Opoponox e.o from Ethiopia in our storerooms so that is coming back as is Cedarmoss Absolute. As I type we have a lot of work to assemble so please note orders placed now will take until the early or middle of next week to be processed. Thank you, Adam : )
Adam Michael has this to say “Frangipani absolute is a solid waxy mass that with bain-marie will become pourable. The aroma is full of waxy floral warmth, exotic heady sweetness, mixed with a rainbow of beautiful spice nuances throughout. This is one of my all time personal favourite absolutes and the aroma is exactly like burying your nose into the frangipani flowers themselves. The picture opposite was taken by me on my travels in Malaysia. I have also written a little article which you can view by clicking here”
Arctander has this to say “The absolute finds use in finer perfumery as a powerful and versatile floral ingredient for honeysuckle, gardenia, tuberose, lilac, muguet, etc. or in various fantasy-bouquets, heavy-Oriental florals, etc.”

I did baine marie on the frangipani absolute and then diluted it…and there was no flower scent at all, some waxy dusty scent only. I gave it 4 weeks to settle. What has happened? Who put all these lush white hips of flowers into the bottle? It is so surprisingly unfolding its scent material! I wonder if it will develop its scent even further with time. Perfect for exotic flowers bouquet…shall I add a minute of diluted indole in it? Still hesitating…

I came back from Sao Paolo a few weeks ago where I was constantly surrounded by Red Frangipani blooms all month long and I just couldn’t wait to get back home to play with my Red Fran Absolute. I created something so beautiful with this oil, and I just recommended it for anyone who wants to fall in love with one of the most exotic aromas I’ve ever experienced.

This beautiful scent transports me to the days I lived in Hawaii, and the plumeria tree with the most beautiful scented blooms near my front door. Love!

Aurelya was looking for Frangipani for a long time, we were happy when we noticed that it is available in the Hermitage Oils offer! The smell turned out to be seductive and sensual, very real – you can see the high quality, we were not disappointed! It’s wonderful. We will create something so beautiful with this oil! Thank you so much!

This is an amazing material. It’s fresh, rich, deep, fruity and juicy right off the bat. It smells like something from the berry family. Then you’re hit with an ethereal incense note. To me this smells like how MesoAmerican incense would have smelt like. The incense note is like that of copal. It’s long lasting in a composition. It goes from the top all the way down to deep in the mid.

This frangipani is a lovely material. I would say one of the better ones I have tried. My challenge with frangipani is how to use it effectively without killing it with other materials that take over. This frangipani is sweet, sticky, slightly spicy with a bit of tropical nuance throughout.

I diluted the frangipani, and it is so incredible! such a fruity strong, amazing flower.

I was so happy to get this Red Frangipani! Took me right back to living in Hawaii when I would make leis, sitting under a Plumeria tree! It has such a sweet, spicy, bright fragrance! I love it!

This is a very interesting oil. Very sophisticated. I could compare it to orris butter in that it has a distinct floral note which corresponds to what one expects when one smells the actual flowers but also an earthy tone which adds gravitas and solemnity to the oil.
