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 : )

Eleonora Scalseggi has this to say “After a long wait we are happy to announce, as of 4/10/20, that we now offer white frangipani absolute, a headier, toppier, creamier, waxier version of its red counterpart, white frangipani absolute is a brilliant addition especially for narcotic florals lovers.
Of a soft waxy consistency that will become pourable with gentle heat, white frangipani absolute is a beautiful white floral material, sharing some creamy-sweet facets of ylang ylang and to some extent tuberose absolute, opulent, sparkling, creamy, heady, sweet and quite hypnotic. It is a strongly intoxicating aromatic material, like a heavier, tropical version of fresh gardenia flowers, with pink bubble gum sweet yellow fruity notes that could also remind of osmanthus flowers, but with no trace of leather and with extra tropical intoxicating notes added instead – even too much! Getting lost into this material for too long has given me a slight headache.
Our fabulous red frangipani absolute of course shares a large part of the aroma profile, but it tends to excel for its richer notes, that make it shine in the heart to base of a perfume composition. White frangipani absolute, instead, tends to have more sparkle in its top to heart and a relatively more straightforward dry-down, so they can be used alone or in combination to suit your composition best. In perfumery it can work harmoniously with jasmine, ylang ylang, gardenia, orange blossom absolute for voluptuous heavy-floral and oriental type perfume compositions.”
Botanical name: Plumeria alba
Origin: India
Wholesale weights (all prices excluding vat): 100G = 675 Euros. 250G = 1610 Euros.

The written description of this absolute is spot on. I recommend evaluating this absolute after diluting it – at a 20% dilution, all of the beautiful indolic, narcotic and creamy facets open up. This would blend beautifully with neroli, jasmine, citruses etc.

True to description, very rich, heady but soft floral.

This is another addiction discovered: I agree with Eleonora’s description that this is a narcotic material. I’t a challenge to use it a composition to create something even better because it is a complex beauty. When I smell it, I just don’t have enough and I have to keep smelling. Great for dreaming, getting lost in another world, and for uplifting your mood. It reminds me Osmanthus most of the other flowers, but brighter, fresher, more complicated and gourmand.

Between this and the White Rose, I have a hard time picking my top floral material on the site. There is not one aspect of this Absolute that is off-balance, it is sweet, delicate, dewy, creamy, leathery…and all in perfect harmony. Not as strong as the Frangipani Red, but more beautiful.

Excellent and quite close to the real thing. I think it goes extremely well with a little of any soft and powdery material to enhance the waxy nature of the white Plumeria.
Amr E (verified owner) –
Description is perfect. An adorable oil which can play along with many other notes including sandalwood, citrus especially lemon, many musks, and virtually any waxy note. The only downside is that its difficult to work with, I had to heat it up to 80c to get some liquid out of it. I’m buying again now – I wonder if Hermitag may dilute it before packing

This Frangipani makes me think of vacations in Hawaii…very rich and creamy and easy to get lost in.
A beautiful, happy experience.

While I could spend (and have spent) hours rhapsodizing over this absolute, the biggest tell that it’s a complete knockout of a material came in the form of a note I received from a native Hawaiian customer who praised my latest perfume’s pikake (frangipani) note, which was achieved primarily through heaps of this stuff. The perfume, she wrote, “speaks to my Hawaiian roots and the beauty of my cherished childhood growing up surrounded by […] pikake. Mahalo nui loa […] for creating this fragrance that embraces everything I love from my island roots! ALA MAIKA’I!”

The distinction of this personally favorite exotic flower, is its utmost finesse – being silmultaneously rich yet delicate, complex yet velvet smooth. euphoric yet tranquille, angelically beautiful in the instant yet furtively sensuous, euphoric yet a tanquil way (unlike Jasmine or Magnolia), exciting yet serene – like a summer night in subtropics, a quiet yet fragrantly imbued with aphrodisiac mist of blooms in moist and warm gentle breezes.
From the opening, and in any concentration higher than in the air around the real flower, Frangipani absolute presents a gorgeous dewy sweetness of honey, a particular one – Chestnut honey (the most amazing from Piedmont (Italy), slowly evolving into floral multifaceted living gem. It demostrates its embracing intoxicating beauty even better when sprayed in the air.
A noble exquisite perfume on its own, fit for a fairy with its finely mannered frivolity, definitely evocative of night blooming tree in Paradise…
