17th March Update at 9.45pm: All retail orders on our books placed between 6th to 13th March will be dispached by no later than the 19th March. All retail orders placed between 14th to 17th March will be dispatched by no later than the 22nd March. Thank you, Adam )
8th February Update at 1.40pm: The website has now been tweaked with the message below. Until early May we now supply to European Union countries only. By early May we will be better organised and able to handle a much larger workload per day. Once in place, USA, Hong Kong and United Arab Emirates will be switched back on. I have also updated the FAQ and mention this within that page. On the new product front, within the next 3 weeks, I am releasing Tuscan Green Olive Absolute Signature Gold, this project has been two years in the making, the end result is the most incredible olive absolute you will ever experience - it is light years superior to the Egyptian offering we and others carry. I am also going to release Italian Oakwood absolute, another custom production for Hermitage, plus I'll introduce Violet Leaf Concrete, and at least one of my 5 new Persian Rose Ottos for sale. If time allows I am going to release a wonderful Mitti Attar and two new Nagarmotha offerings as I want to put together a collection for Nagarmotha to showcase the vast differences in profile you can obtain. And finally I am definitely going to ramp up the wholesale list even further by introducing many more of our existing aromatics this month with wholesale options. Thank you and I will write again now here across early next week. Adam : )

Adam Michael has this to say “This is another wood oil hailing from Paraguay, South America. Although steam distilled this is not easy to work with, almost a solid mass within the bottle. Easily fixed if you leave it on a radiator for 20 minutes in which time it will still be of thick consistency but it will be mobile and pourable if you remove the dropper cap from the bottle. The smell initially reminded me of caramelised toffee however by the middle you discover the smoky, burning wood, hay and slightly meaty aroma which remains present throughout. I also detect fleeting notes of benzoin and vanilla clearly throughout as well. In perfumery guaiac wood is great for building smoky accords, camp fire blends and combines well with cedar derivatives, patchouli and sandalwood materials.”
Botanical Name: Bulnesia sarmientoi

Initially it smells very similar to benzoin and toned down vanilla abs – probably toffee like.
The dry down is gorgeous – sweet, woody, incensy, slightly lemony and milky, almost like a lemony cheesecake. As sweetness reduces over time, the wood & smoke notes take over.
There is a right amount of smokiness, that if one doesn’t mind the initial sweetness, (s)he can wear this neat.
The woody note has some similarities with sandalwood (s. album) and H. cedarwood. Curiously I also get a slight lemon + vanilic smell at the dry down. It is definitely going into my next attar.

Really stuning material! Very incensy, smokey, smoooth and woody. I see the similarities to sandalwood which were mentioned by previous reviewer. The smokiness reminds me Cade Wood a litle – but of course much much ligher.
All in all, awesome, multidimensionally smelling material!

I purchased this oil long time ago and just recently fall in love with its smoky aroma. Splendid! Easy to work with after slightly warming

Just the right amount of smokiness without giving a bacon note. Pairs beatifully with vanilla

Very interesting and very different from other woods. At first you feel sweet notes of vanilla, so clear and after a second its already a smoked wood with slight saltiness.
