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 “Frankincense Super Premium, is boswellia carterii material and this is exclusively produced for Hermitage Oils. The price is high, but the aroma profile is 10x greater than the regular b.carterii we and many other online sellers offer. Essentially this material is Frankincense carterii on steroids. If you are a lover of Frankincense like I am, I also highly recommend both the artisan produced Frankincense dalzielii E.O and one of my all time favourites, Frankincense Rivae.
Mark Evans has this to say “The everyday Boswellia carterii essential oil Hermitage and many others offer would likely be described as diffusive, bright, terpenic, with citrus top notes over a resinous, slightly peppery and balsamic base. It’s all nicely calming and meditative and smells wonderful – ho hum.
Now, let us completely blow your mind and take your frankincense experience up into the realm of draw-dropping beauty!
This Frankincense Super Premium offering is produced from the finest tears possible and in this instance are usually reserved for the pleasure of the very wealthy to enjoy for burning as incense. Through our contact, Adam has managed to have the resin steam distilled resulting in this super premium frankincense carterii. Truly a once in a lifetime opportunity.
As soon as you unscrew the cap, the room is filled with the fresh and complex top notes – citrus that actually smells of fresh juice and peel. Pine that clears the nose and mind of all else. Penetrating, resinous incense notes, sweet balsams and fruity pepper. The combined effect is one of stunning beauty that drives all other thoughts and concerns from the mind. The world stops and just for a moment, nothing else matters and you’re left in a mood of peaceful contemplation.
The brighter notes continue for considerable longer than I’ve ever experienced with any frankincense and even the next morning, there’s still a sultry, dry mandarin and wood scent left on the strip.
I can’t recommend this oil enough to any frankincense connoisseur and feel privileged to be able to experience it for myself. For use in perfumery, I’d suggest letting this oil take centre stage. It’s not often that this sort of quality becomes available and if you want to use frankincense as a modifier or enhancer for other aspects of your perfume, leave that to the other grades. This oil needs to shine in your creation and send its prayer to the heavens unencumbered.”

Fully compliant with Super Premium. This essential oil has become the incense of my dreams!
The most harmonious, complex, rich and multifaceted aroma among all the previously encountered essential oils of frankincense.
I tested it for several days, trying to figure out what notes it contains. This proved to be a difficult task. Each time, the oil showed its new face, intriguing and unexpected.
The aroma has both traditional “church” notes, as well as citrus, floral, green, coniferous, amber tones, replacing each other and interwoven into a beautiful melody.
I prefer to use this essential oil for meditation, either in pure form or with small, neat additives of wood, coniferous, floral and citrus oils.

This Incense oil is a TRUE top-middle-note, loaded with alpha and beta pinene. Therefore, the dry-down is a bit “deaf”. However, mixing it with “Clearwood” gave great results in my experience !

I love frankincense, but since I finished a my first bottle about 4 years ago I haven’t been able to find a quality to match. This one does. It has the warmth and intensity I have been looking for. Wonderfull.
ana.vancas (verified owner) –
This material is a true beauty. Really complex and difficult to describe. First impressions are definitely citrus/herbaceous/sweet, while the church accords come in later. I used it to create two different scents, both built around this frankincense but in a different way (balsamic sweet vs. woody floral). Great in both cases and definitely worth the money. I would really like to try dalzielii and black varieties as well.
Huseyin At (verified owner) –
Indeed one of the best frankincense oils this site has to offer.
Sarah J (verified owner) –
Also a delightful Frankincense, very complex more churchy than the Dalzielii, I haven’t really combined this with anything as it’s so lush on it’s own. To me it’s like sleeping in fresh bed sheets in a sunny dry climate, in a bedroom with the window open so the desert winds can caress your skin whilst the curtains loft, orangey citrus, amber, cedar, oriental peppery, cactus, balsamic heavenly delight
