26th April at 7.35pm: A quick update. Many parcels have left today. The situation is as follows, we still have one order left to process for the 10th (Paris retailer), one for the 11th and a lot more still for the 15th through to the 18th - mostly USA wholesale orders. The plan now is to work on orders across the weekend and by no later than Tuesday 30th - every order placed upto the 18th will be dispatched. Ideally they will all be out by Monday 29th but based on how I called it wrong recently I think it's better to call it for Tuesday. I'll update on order lead times for the 19th onwards on Monday 29th. It goes without saying that I am very sorry about the lead-time but like the lab and staff, it is now just a matter of a month or so before we are better organised, holding larger stocks of each aromatic, and in turn the lead-times will drastically improve going forward. Ok, back on Monday and thank you to everyone for the continued support. Thank you, Adam : )
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 “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.

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.
