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 “This French clary sage absolute is solvent extracted from the flowers of Salvia sclarea that grow in Provence, France. No other plant part is used. This absolute is a solid mass that is brownish green in colour and the aroma is sweet, herbaceous, floral, with delicate woody, amber and tea notes aplenty. French clary sage absolute is a full bodied, sumptuous absolute that is a good fixative and useful within herbal, chypre and fougere compositions.”
Arctander has this to say “Clary Sage Absolute is an excellent modifier, fixative and natural “body” for colognes, lavender fougeres, chypres, ambre bases, conifer fragrances, forest notes and even floral notes like muguet and jasmin.”
Botanical Name: Salvia sclarea
Origin: France

Beautiful rich tea-like, sweet-herbaceous note with almost some floral qualities. It is dry tea leaves-like, but retains the fruity-bergamotish twist that clearly identifies Clary Sage from the other herb oils. You could find hay-sweet herbaceous, or even a little bit earthy-soily.
It has quite similar uses with the Carnation abs. product, i use it as a freshener agent and as sweetener. It’s light, delicate, almost watery, ethereal herb. The dryout leaves a watery-almost citrus ozonic trail.

This is nothing like any essential oil i bought for creating fougere and men cologne..this is superior than any clary sage you ever experienced..fruity, herbal and sweet..although is solid mass you can easily work with it..thank you hermitage for the experience

So I would never say it’s clary sage. I didn’t know what it was. It escapes a little more from distilled clary sage, which is sometimes unbearably strong at first. Clary sage absolutely is something completely different .. than dried herbs of all kinds in the countryside, nice sweets, rays of the summer sun, unbearable summer heat at noon .. I even feel a hint of sweet lavender there. Definitely a beautiful note that I will study a lot when I use it somewhere. I think he will be a very fair partner to many of Adam’s jewelry.

Adam has sourced an incredible material here, it’s sweet, rich, warm and subtly hay-like, herbaceous, tea-like, and deceptively powerful. If your only experience is the essential oil, then you’re in for a treat with this absolute, they are worlds apart. Absolutely beautiful!

Absolute favorite! the most elegant, sophostocated herb – fresh yet substantial and well-rounded, green yet pleasantly musky – truly unique among hebrs. In therapeutic terms- true euphoric, and for some individual even ecstatic! – once in Aromatherapy class I’d witnessed a student going into uncontrollable fit of hysterical joy and rapture in front of the full class – after therapeutically inhaling a healthy dose of Clary Sage. Lends itself as a leading ingredient for all fine top easily smoothing all the sharpness and bitterness of its cousins. The Absolute also possesses alluring yet approachable sensual note that gives an aura of natural easy beauty, pleasnt both at distance and in intimate embrace, even as a light, yet sensual, perfume on its own. Playful and sophisticated with easy charm.
