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
We sell this Green Tea absolute diluted to 50% in DPG which results in a material that is much easier to work with.
Adam Michael has this to say “Green tea absolute exudes fresh tea notes with delicate herbaceous, woody and tanned leather character. The heart notes are a rainbow of tobacco leaves, dried hay, clary sage. The concrete in question is Chinese, produced from the true tea leaves of Thea sinensis, after which the material is shipped to France and solvent extracted. This absolute is of a solid paste consistency that requires the patience of a saint and lots of gentle warmth prior to use.”
Arctander has this to say “…used in perfumery to produce sweet-herbaceous notes in certain floral perfumes e.g. jasmin, orange blossom, gardenia, sweet pea, freesia, and to produce new effects in woody or aldehydic perfumes of non-floral type in general”.
Botanical Name: Thea sinensis
Origin: Chinese concrete solvent extracted in France
