2nd October at 9.05pm: All orders placed upto the 20th September will be dispatched by tomorrow. All orders received up until the 25th September will be dispatched by 6th October. I will provide dispatch times here, for orders placed from 26th October to 28th October on 6th October. Thanks, Adam : )
September at 5.30pm: First apologies for not writing here yesterday as intended. As I type all orders placed upto the 15th September, will be dispatched by tomorrow with couriers, and orders placed upto the 16th will all leave by Friday 29th. Orders placed on the 17th will leave by Monday 2nd October. And on Monday 2nd October I will provide dispatch times for orders placed on the 18th to the 20th September. So at the moment the lead-time is about 2 weeks from placing your order. Normally what happens is we reopen, many orders come in and then things slow down and we normalise. However in this instance I suspect it won't happen this way. As we close in October (see below) I am seeing regulars buying much more to cover themselves across the period we are closed. Add to this my wholesale work which is now coming in really fast - as I have started sending out the stock reduction list, and therefore I forecast a 2 week lead time all the way to closing. Meaning once we stop taking orders - It's probable I will still need 2 weeks to finish before I can close properly for the year. Therefore if you do want something, plan ahead please and only buy if you can wait as with the utmost respect, I am not letting anyone queue-jump, even if they go on to tell me they haven't seen these updates.
On the subject of the stock reduction list - due to lack of time, I have to create it in two parts. Part one covers aromatics A-K and part two will be sent out on email (to those on the list) on October 6th. Regarding the new releases, they will happen, this I promise but I can't get that job done for this Sunday now. I'll need until mid October to make that happen. If you are interested in the new releases all I can advise is to keep checking back here as I will confirm the release date before, well, releasing the new aromatics! On the subject of Ambergris, it's a really touchy topic for me at the moment and I am going to comment on this in more detail shortly, but note I am rethinking decisions concerning ambergris. Back here with a final update on Friday afternoon. Thanks, Adam : )
22nd September at 4.35pm: A quick progress update. By Monday 25th all orders received up to September 11th will be dispatched. By Friday 29th all orders received up to September 16th will be dispatched. Of course, be assured I will push to get as many orders as possible dispatched. For business clients waiting on a copy of the stock-reduction-list, this will be emailed across to you by Wednesday 27th. I will be taking tomorrow off completely for family time and will be back at work across the early part of Sunday afternoon. Next mini update here will be on Tuesday 26th. Thank you, Adam : )
19th September at 6.55pm: Right, update time. First, I am now working on the orders placed from 1st to 17th September and I think within 7-10 days maximum they will all be dispatched, along with the gifts : ) Next, I am going to release Kerala Indian Sandalwood 1953 E.O by Sunday 1st October, along with Organic Moldovan Pink Rose Musk Otto, 20% White Ambergris Aged tincture and Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol by Fermentation. If I can find the time I will also release another Assami grown Oud (plantation) and a vintage offering of Indian Vetiver E.O and Red Myrrh E.O (sublime profiles) that I have held back for the past year now. Regarding closing for 2023 in October (please read below) I need to kindly put on record that I won't be able to make exceptions for clients - even those who have become friends, and to please keep this in mind and plan ahead should you need something specific from Hermitage. I will write again by the end of the week and thank you very much to everyone for the continued support. Adam : )
18th September Update. Please read carefully.

🦋Non.EU Countries 18th October at 9pm Italy time. 🦋

Then once all orders are dispatched and delivered, we will close and reopen by mid-January 2024/as soon as the laboratory is finished.
Also please note as of 30th September we will stop offering ambergris aromatics for sale.
Thank you, Adam : )

Adam Michael has this to say “Geranium bourbon essential oil is considered to be the finest geranium available, contains no ‘10-epi-gamma-eudesmol’ and around 30% less ‘citronellol’. In simple terms, therapeutically its no better than the Egyptian geranium, it simply smells superior and lends itself very well towards the perfumer. Geranium bourbon is green in colour, grown in Reunion. Like the majority of flower oils, it is antidepressant and antiseptic. Geranium bourbon essential oil is also a valuable astringent and a haemostatic (it stops bleeding), which makes it very useful in treating injuries. It also promotes speedy healing. It is used in skincare, for its delightful perfume, for its astringent and antiseptic properties and for its action in balancing the production of sebum. This makes geranium bourbon valuable for skins that are excessively dry or oily, or for dry skins with oily patches. Also within the world of perfumery this material is a must for building luxury rose accords, works great in creations with green top notes, pairs especially well with carnation and generally supports fruity compositions very well.”
Handy Tip: One of geranium’s principle constituents is ‘geraniol’ which is very effective at fighting cold sores, if you feel that prickle sensation – normally the first sign of the cold sore – be sure to add a drop of geranium neat and all being well the cold sore will not develop. Wash hands thoroughly afterwards.

I have a mixed relationship with geranium. Some are nice, some I find downright revolting. This material, however, is absolutely delicious. I’m excited to experiment with its medicinal properties as well.
thursturston (verified owner) –
Cool, lightly minty and a must for building rose accords to add a more natural touch than Geraniol alone. Exceptional quality.
Charalambos Charalambous (verified owner) –
Strong and cool.green and rosy ..very sharp geranium that you actually feel the Mediterranean sun ..it reminds me of Greek islands in August..excellent!
sarah.watts33 (verified owner) –
Snap a geranium leaf, rub it in your hands and inhale – this is exactly what you get in this oil. Delicious geranium goodness.
vivienne.ca (verified owner) –
For me, after the initial sweetness, the colour green starts to emerge. One can practically feel the brain begin to calm down. Quite important not to over indulge in a blend, I feel.
Anag (verified owner) –
WOW!
Best. Geranium (Bourbon). Ever.
No sharpness, no earthiness, just minty-like geranium dewy freshness (like chilling by the pool in summer). Just like the real thing. Or maybe even better.
So comforting and relaxing.
Robert (verified owner) –
One of the best geranium oils I’ve yet to encounter, delicate yet bold and I just want to bathe in it!
Justine O’ (verified owner) –
A deeply enveloping and voluptuous geranium, embodying the heady beauty of red roses and crushed geranium leaves, together with woody citrus and spicy mint notes; limes, lemons, bois de rose, ginger, cloves, spearmint.
A gloriously rosy geranium, with a fulsome red rosy heart and a smooth, rounded, cool body, …as if floating on a cool shady pool, beneath a cascade of geraniums, mint and roses. Bold and beautiful, warm and cool, calming and grounding.
