23/07/21 at 17.35pm: Adam Michael here, about to finish for today but before I do I have a little update : )
The TEST order to Australia was a success, sailing through customs like pre-covid times. Therefore, in September (so after our holiday) Australia will be added back to the list of countries we can supply. Next, when we are off work in August, I am musing on cutting the offering of natural isolates and essential oils we offer by as many as 30 lines. I will touch on this more in the final newsletter and welcome thoughts from clients. Also, before we close for the holiday, I will be uploading Egyptian Orange Blossom Absolute, however it won’t be for sale as a standalone material (it also won’t make for a pleasant reading at all) BUT will feature in September’s new product releases, which includes an Orange Blossom and Neroli sample set. In September I have some more big-ticket releases lined up, including two possible oud custom distillations exclusive for Hermitage. I also have sourced more protium copal resin plus a wonderful peppery elemi resin. And the updated wholesale list that will feature more aromatics will be available to download at the start of September. Please remember if you are in the E.U, the last time for placing an order is the 27th July. And in preparation of our August holiday, all NON-E.U shipping destinations have now been switched off from our website. Thanks to all who support us and kind regards, Adam : ) Dismiss
Adam Michael has this to say “This galbanum essential oil is produced from the crude (levant/soft) by steam distillation. The material is clear in colour and 100% pourable with a consistency similar to water. The smell is green, leafy, cool, fresh and uber refreshing in my opinion. There is something so mentally cleansing about smelling this aroma I find, comparable to a sea breeze or the freshness in the air that you experience after a wild rainstorm.
In the world of Aromatherapy, galbanum essential oil may be useful for people who are suffering with nervous tension (I can vouch for this), digestive upsets and for those wishing to regulate breathing. Across the Asian continent I have found this oil is commonly used for treating cuts, bruises, wounds and inflammations with great success. Galbanum blends well with most floral and wood oils.”

There are oils I am afraid of. Galbanum is one of them. Deep and complex, it smells sharp even in 10% dilution. I am still playing with it. 5%, 3%…I wish I could find that right amount when it will smell of green leaves. I believe it will not come on stage on its own of course. Green scent is my favourite. That is why I hope to find how Galbanum performs its best.

I would describe this as a breeze of freshly cut grass, with a serious piney attitude!

This is a nice refreshing green and grassy scent. I would describe it as deep and robust. This one strikes me as particularly potent and I’ll need to dilute it for my smaller creations.
